Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A week's blissful stay in glorious September sunshine (sunshine ..yes..In Wales!) The cottage is pure quality , pristine and clean and tastefully furnished and decorated with all your needs catered for with kitchen equipment . The cottage is spacious and well laid out comfy bed and couch and high back chair . It was immaculately clean and well aired . Dishwasher , fridge with freezer compartment , microwave and easy to operate oven and ceramic top . Everything we needed was on hand and of course the accommodation is dog friendly . T.V. in two rooms and wifi . Plenty of storage space and real wardrobes with lots of hangers . There were DVDs and boxed games and books but as the weather was so good (yes..in Wales!) we spent most of the time in local walks or short car journeys thereabouts . The grounds and the gardens are immaculate and well tended by Liz who would always stop for a chat whilst planting . It was a delight to do the woodland walk up at the top or just sit peaceful in the shade by the summerhouse listening to the birdsong and the breeze in the trees . We ate every night in The Cherry Pie Inn next door , literally a few steps away and the food and welcome there are beyond compare, really excellent We loved our evenings in The Cherry Pie and really looked forward to our evening meal. We had Sunday lunch there but did not have lunch any other days although it is open from 12 till about 2:30 I think . We found the map of the walks Liz provided very useful .We walked to The Fox Inn to try the real ales on draught , about 30 _40 minutes through lovely countryside , slightly steep to start with but soon get used to the walk .( The Crown is about the same distance just go to the right at the cottages instead of left for the Fox .) We found the Cross Foxes in Nannerch on the way back in the car from Loggerheads (which is a must do if you like beautiful scenery and a walk and have a dog ..or even if you don't) . The walk to The Cross Foxes is the other slightly shorter walk you can do ( starting from the other side of the road from The Cherry Pie Inn between the two bungalows . As the pub didn't open till 7 we didn't attempt that walk although we did the starter part to it often (just there and back to the am dram bench and that was really lovely...and easy..flat and running alongside a pretty stream . We took a drive to the antiques centre which serves a tasty fruit punch and has impressive but inexpensive artwork from a talented local artist and then had a trip up to The Dinorben Arms in Bodfari for the lovely terrace view . The furthest we drove was to Denbigh and we walked the walls there after getting the key from the castle shop , that was well worth the trip. There are lots of places you can drive out to easily from The Old Mill but we found all we needed on our doorstep. The grounds and surrounding countryside were so pleasant we were more than happy to stay local although next time we book undoubtedly we would stay here again we might venture further afield as there is so much to see. We did do a quick visit Holywell ( can park in nearby Tesco ) and then came back via nearby Caerwys ...has to be visited if only to view the beautifully kept community loos ! I also bought a nicely priced garden ornament from an honesty box shop which had local produce,home made chutney and plants opposite the post office shop there, well worth a look as there is a derelict old courthouse building there too and a cafe and a pub ..but it was shut in the daytime when we visited . Thank you Liz for a wonderful ,relaxing stay, it was perfect and excellent in every way.…

What a lovely place to stay and dog friendly, we stayed in the Millers Cottage, one bedroom with en-suite and a separate living/kitchen area, it was a nice and cosy, there were towels and bed linen supplied also a welcome pack of tea, coffee and milk which was great to be able to make a drink after our journey. It is on a main road put you get used to the small amont of traffic and stop noticing it after a short while, being dog friendly there is a nice dog walk in the grounds but also a few longer walks around the cottage, these are shown in a guest pack along with a lot of information about the surrounding area and local attractions. The pub next door, The Cherry Pie Inn, is a must. All in all we had a lovely weeks stay and we will return.

Myself and a colleague were actually staying at the Old Mill for 6 weeks for business reasons and it proved to be a superb location . The cottages are clean , tidy and well equipped and the location is second to none . You are next door to the Cherry Pie Inn which is a unique place to eat and not far up the road is a fabulous restaurant The Indian Lounge . You are surrounded by country walking routes and its about 10-15 mins drive into Mold . The location benefits from an excellent host Liz on site , we cannot recommend it highly enough

We spent 4 nights in the Long Barn, great location to explore North Wales from! Comfortable accommodation to a high standard, lovely welcome box of local Welsh produce which was a very pleasant surprise. Good choice of local places to eat and visit explained in the information pack in the cottage, we hope to visit again soon!

My wife and I had a very enjoyable ten days in this cosy cottage set in beautiful grounds. The Hayloft was well-provided, spotless and comfortable - even jigsaws, books and board games were available. A highly recommended holiday venue - thank you Liz.

Stayed in the Hayloft while working on the Gwynt Y Mor windfarm and sailing out of Mostyn. The hayloft is a lovely quiet idilic holiday cottage. Liz is very friendly and the cost of the accommodation is within budget for contractors. The cottage itself is very well equipped self catering style in a very quiet area, with Hollywell on 5 minutes drive and Mostyn only 10 minutes away. Will definitely stay again the next time I’m in the area.

Have just returned from a four night stay at The Old Mill holiday cottages, we stayed in the Old Barn and can't praise it highly enough. We arrived to a lovely welcome with fresh flowers and tasty Welsh cakes. Even our dog was made welcome with his own biscuits and bed. The accommodation was top quality, very stylish and spacious, there were two bathrooms which was ideal for our family of four, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The grounds are beautiful, with plenty of seating areas, and there were lots of good country walks from the cottage, ideal for running and dog walking. The cottage was an ideal base for us to visit Loggerheads, Mold and Ruthin. We ate out at the Cherry Pie inn next door a couple of times, which served really good home cooked food. I cant recommend the Old Mill cottages enough for a relaxing stay. Many thanks to Liz and family.…

We stayed for one week in Miller's Cottage,. Although small, the kitchen had everything we needed. The bedroom was spacious with a lovely en suite shower room. Plenty of outside space and seating areas around the landscaped gardens. We found just one drawback, very close to the busy road and we were woken up very early with the noise of heavy traffic. Liz was a lovely host and gave information on places to visit.
