Distyll is a wonderful bolt hole.. The holiday let annex is attached to an old, well renovated mill. It nestles in a valley surrounded by fields and woodlands, in the village of Llanfwrog, near Ruthin. The owners live in the main part and are perfect hosts; friendly but not interfering. The cottage is lovely and warm, spacious and very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed sitting eating our breakfast, whilst looking out of the kitchen window onto the garden with its babbling brook and weeping willow. We have already recommended this lovely cottage to family and friends, despite only arriving home 2 days ago. We would also be very happy to return.

Mrs Porter

This is a lovely cottage down a country lane it is quiet and peaceful yet close to some fantastic walks.. The hosts are at hand next door just in case of any problems not that we had any and dogs are made very welcome

We regularly stay in cottages for short breaks and recently stayed at Distyl for the first time. We chose this place as pet friendly and on the doorstep of Ruthin which is a charming little place. Cottage was immaculately clean and very well laid out and warm!! The owners were very friendly and welcoming, made you feel at home. We had snow and ice so made use of Sky movies and sports when we weren't reading. There is a 40 min circular walk from the cottage (map in cottage) which was ideal for a quick dog walk. Lots formal walks nearby too inc Llyn Brenig and Loggerheads. Only negatives are the WiFi which is very weak and intermittent (weak signal and only in living room) and is advertised as having a washing machine but this is actually in owners own house. Looking forward to going again.

Excellent cottage everything you needed was there lovely friendly bev and ....

February 2017

We only had 2 nights in the cottage but we loved it. On arrival the owners were warm, friendly and relaxed and we felt at home right away. The cottage is really well appointed and the bed is large and comfortable. Our dogs loved it too, with the woods just a 2 minute walk up the lane - follow the maps that Bev will explain!! Ruthin is a nice old town to have a wander round and on the very clear night we had you could see an amazing star scape across the sky. We relaxed, we just stopped for a while after a very hectic few weeks and months and we would definitely return.

This cottage is absolutely wonderful. Every room was tastefully furnished and so very comfortable. There were so many extra little touches that made our stay so enjoyable. Daisy my brown Labrador especially enjoyed the tray of dog biscuits waiting for her! We relaxed from the moment we arrived Bev and Phil the owners were so very helpful and their beautiful dog Annie and cats Will and Flossy were a joy. Not forgetting the sheep waiting for you at the bottom of the garden! (Behind a fence). It is such a relaxing location and so close to great dog walks where you are more then likely going to be the only ones there. We did not want to leave and will most certainly return. The place is so beautiful and I look forward to returning in the Spring or Summer. Do not hesitate in booking this cottage, it really is outstanding.

The owners Bev & Phil are the most welcoming hosts we have met, nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of dog walks in the adjacent woods and a dog friendly beach at Talacre, which is quite rare these days.The property is very high spec with no expense spared. We really enjoyed our stay and the guest book confirms other visitors did too. The privacy of the property also enhances its location. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again and recommend it fully.

One of the best equipped holiday cottages we have stayed in.The accommodation was excellent and fitted out to a very high standard, the garden was beautiful with a lovely weeping willow and a stream.The owners Bev and Phil who live on the site made us very welcome and thier sheep dog Anne came to greet you when you came back from your days out. Ruthin is a very quaint little country town not far from Chester 25 miles, Llangollen 15 miles, Llandudno 35 miles . The Old Cross Keys at the end of the lane about 10 mins walk serves very good food, it is advisable to book we missed the steak night on the tuesday because they were fully booked
