“Not much of a welcome in the hillside”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2010

We were hurried into our rooms, the landlady didn't really want to talk, and even getting a recommendation for an evening meal was time pressured. The house was quiet and we slept well. The rooms are very flowery and a bit dated, ours was clean although our travelling companions said they had a dirty shower tray. There are insufficient electric points and you can't use the mirror and hairdryer at the same time. The breakfast was good, but you have to order EXACTLY what you want the night before. All guests sit at one table, and the landlord buzzes around behind you while the landlady stays in the kitchen and you can hear her through the hatch giving instructions. Not sure why she doesn't come out, she didn't even come out to say goodbye when we left?? Not sure what would happen if you didn't want the yoghurt you thought you might like the night before...Landlord was friendly and when we chatted to him after breakfast we did at last feel like we were perhaps actually welcome. This was not what we were expecting from the earlier reviews. Perhaps they had end of the season blues. It all had a certain amusement value and some of the barked instructions from the kitchen were so funny we had to stop catching each others eyes for fear of giving ourselves away. (Chop chop)

“Fantatsic B&B with an exceptional breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2009

Really great B&B - lovely breakfast, very comfortable bed and friendly owners. An idyllic location. If I was being very picky I might say the shower in our bathroom was underpowered, but this was minor and not an issue. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it to others or in staying there myself again.
I feel a bit harsh giving it only four stars as there was nothing at all that was wrong with the B&B - it's more that I want to leave a ceiling for even more exceptional properties!

A particular thing that we enjoyed was being able to select our own breakfast - upon arrival we were presented with a breakfast menu and could tick everything we wanted. What a fantastic idea!

“Lake Vrynwy on your doorstep”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2008
1
person found this review helpful

The B&B couldn't be more convenient to Lake Vrynwy, literally out of the door and you're next to the picturesque dam.

The hosts were extremely attentive to every detail. The room was very comfortable and our baffling choice of breakfast items were cooked to perfection, accompanied with a printout of the day's weather forecast.

“Absolutely loved everything about it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2006

This luxurious B&B is situated by idyllic Lake Vyrnwy, nestled amongst the spectacular Berwyn Mountains of Mid Wales. Rooms are beautifully furnished, very clean and spacious, You get quality bed linen and towels. The bathroom was also big, spotless and very stylish. Breakfast is one of the tastiest we have ever had in the UK's B&Bs, the choice is massive and the quality just perfect. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful, very kind people to whom you can chat forever. Outside and behind the house there are amazing gardens. I recommend the Oaks to everyone!!! I went there with my partner for the weekend and we had a fantastic, very relaxing break which didn't cost us much at all. Wonderful time and place!!!

  • Liked — quality, style and location
  • Disliked — there was nothing we didn't like!
  • Tips/Secrets — ask Michael - the owner - about the historey of lake Vyrnwy
