“Trawscoed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010

We used Trawscoed Mawr as a centre for a short tour of North Wales which it's position suited this purpose very well. The stay was supurb, friendly and we had such a warm welcome. The food was delightful from the home made Bayley's Brulee - highly recommended - to the Jams which I intended to use as gifts but ate myself. The facilities were cosy, comfortable and it was so very nice to be away from the husle and bustle of normal life and soak up the peace of the North Wales countryside. Definately a return trip is planned. I wished I had had my honeymoon there

“This place is my chicken soup for the soul!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2010

We first stayed here when attending a wedding in the area back in April. We occupied both the cream and blue rooms which were beautifully decorated with a large modern bathroom. The only problem was we had to leave the next morning without having a chance to explore our surroundings. We couldn't wait to go back so booked the Bakery Suite for a long weekend with the children as soon as we got home! From the moment you drive up the country lanes to Trawscoed Mawr you can feel the everyday stresses of modern life disappear! This place truly is a little slice of heaven. Sandra and Chris made us feel extremely comfortable and their hospitality was second to none. Sandra even took my two young daughters to feed the chickens and ducks and then collect their eggs to take home. They had a wonderful time in a very idyllic setting. Sandra is also a superb cook making a beautiful dinner for us one evening and the cooked breakfasts are delicious. Once again I left place wanting more and can't wait to back again soon to recharge my batteries.

“Relaxation, comfort and peace”

Another brilliant stay with Sandra & Chris in their lovely home away from it all. The room was very comfortable, the food fantastic with plenty of choice for vegetarians and carnivores and Sandra & Chris couldn't do enough for us to make us feel welcome from the moment we arrived to leaving. It was a real treat to watch the birds (woodpecker, nuthatch) feeding at the window while having breakfast. The log fire on a cold winter's evening was heaven - we didn't want to leave and will definitely be visiting again.

“A place to recharge your life!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2009

We stayed at Trawscoed Mawr on a summer weekend while up in Corwen to go to a friend's wedding. The location is fantastic - hidden away in the hills so that you feel you are the only people within 50 miles, while in fact you're only about ten minutes from the main A5 road. Sandra was one of the friendliest hosts we have ever met (and I seem to have stayed in a lot of B&Bs recently). She also cooks a brilliant breakfast. We stayed in the Old Bakery room which is split into two floors. We actually regretted not having much time there (because of being at the wedding party all day and night one of the days), but spent one of the evenings playing scrabblein the living room, sipping wine and star-gazing on the front porch. PS My partner left some clothes by accident, and had not noticed several days later until Sandra emailed to ask if they were ours and posted them back the next day. We can't recommend TM highly enough!

“Trawscoed Mawr is a wonderful 'home away from home'! a HIDDEN GEM!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2009

This was not our first visit to Trawscoed Mawr and we know it won't be our last! Sandra and Chris welcomed us like old friends yet again and we felt 'at home' again as soon as we stepped inside their wonderful home. If a bed and breakfast (quite the wrong discription!) could earn 6 stars then this one would without a doubt! The spotlessly clean rooms are all beautifully decorated with Laura Ashely papers and soft furnishings and there are beautiful little finishing touches everywhere. The 'stunning' bathroom had everything one could ever need for a most comfortable stay, the towels are displayed so beautifully that its a shame to spoil the effect! After a very comfortable nights sleep we found the usual 'amazing' choice at breakfast and really enjoyed the free range duck eggs which were freshly laid that very morning just yards from the house! We also stayed 'home' for Sandra's wonderfully cooked three course dinners both nights, in the fantastic dining room warmed by the log fire, (Sandra and Chris are more than happy to supply glasses at dinner if you take your own wines) she really should open a restaurant, the food is second to none that we've ever tasted!! Nothing is a trouble to Sandra or Chris and they will do everything they can to make your stay with them memorable. We were entertained by the dozens of different birds that visit the bird tables outside and also the red kites in the valley and the owl in the evenings. We'd really love to keep this 'gem' to ourselves a bit longer but that would be very selfish, though we have covered our backs and booked our next stay already! Thank you Sandra and Chris for another wonderful, restful weekend 'home and away'! Jo & John
