• "We loved our week in Cook's Flat."

  A privilege to stay in such a beautiful and historic place. We had a fun night in the games room, listening to some of the vinyl collection and playing pool on the snooker table! It was a cold week but the flat was always warm, we turned off the radiator in the living room every time we lit the fire. Comfortable and well equipped. The directions and check in instructions were clear and easy to follow. Had it been warmer we would have loved to explore more of the grounds, but it was still lovely for a quick walk in the mornings, saying hello to the ponies and Highland cattle.

  Thank you for your lovely review! I’m glad you had a good time and it’s always nice to hear the games room has been used and enjoyed. Property Owner

• "Cooks flat is comfortable and well appointed accomodation in a wonderful peaceful rural setting."

  Being part of a large country house and estate it has an ambience that is hard to create. Ideal as a base for touring that area of Wales and into Cheshire. We would definitely revisit if in the area again.

  Thanks for your lovely review and for the useful advice whilst you were staying! I’m glad you enjoyed the atmosphere here and that you found some good places to visit nearby. Property Owner

  What a wonderful setting you have, so peaceful and amazing facilities. We loved looking around the Victorian kitchen and it is definitely a rival for Erddig House! We loved the area, there is so much to do and we also got to spend time with relatives who live nearby. All in all a perfect holiday, so thank you. We were sorry we didn't get to meet you this time but maybe next time? Regards Christine Hill

  The flat was immaculate and the facilities were spot on. Philippa was really friendly and helpful. We especially loved the games room with a fantastic range of vinyls which we enjoyed listening to, whilst playing snooker. The apartment was a great base for visiting Llangollen, Chirk Aqueduct, Chester etc. We have already recommended the flat to our friends.

  Sorry to hear this. We will investigate, thanks for letting us know. There is a thermostat in the hall and individual controls on the radiators so perhaps the thermostat was down too low? Glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise and if you come again please let us know if anything is not right whilst you are here so we can help! Property Owner

  Beautifully furnished, comfortable, and with everything you could possibly need. Cefn Park is wonderful, and the opportunity to walk round the Estate and see the magnificent cows is a privilege. The location is perfect for Llangollen, Erddig and Chirk Castle, but also for staying in and relaxing. We had a wonderful week, and would thoroughly recommend it.

  The flat was wonderful, spacious, and perfectly clean. Everything had been considered, and the general property's facilities were also amazing. We loved the hand-drawn map that guided us on our walks around. The information folder in the flat was (yet another) great touch... ensuring we had the best stay. Highly recommend, and will stay again!

• "Our stay in Cook's flat at the end of October was just as we'd expected as we'd previously stayed in Butler's flat."

  We wanted to come back and enjoy a log fire in a cosy quiet getaway. The owners are very helpful and are keen to make their guests feels comfortable and at home. We explored the estate again, and were given permission to pick some apples from the trees. These have made delicious apple cake and apple crumble. The flat is very clean and comfortable and the kitchen stocked with all the pots, pans and utensils you need plus a dishwasher to make life easy. Definitely worth the trip to visit this place to get away from the noise and hustle and bustle.

  I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and made use of the apples! I’m still making juice from the last few! Property Owner

  We stayed for 3 nights and didn't want to leave. The apartment is beautiful with a real fire too. It has everything you need for your stay. The grounds of the estate are beautiful. It was like staying at a National Trust building but at a fraction of the cost. It is close to all amenities. 30 minutes to Chester. We will definitely be going back. You won't be disappointed

• "The photo is deceiving."

  The front of mansion in not accessible for you. There is a small entry door on the back of property and that is how you enter. It would make more sense to delete this photo from the advert as this is a private area and you have to ask permission to enter. Also the back garden is not accessible either. You can walk around few fields but not the easiest map to show you where is private land. There is a bad smell in the bathroom which was there for the whole of my stay.

• "Cook's Flat is a lovely apartment in a gorgeous building."

  It comes with all the luxuries you could need and we were even treated to some welcome gifts! The rooms are clean and spacious and we had no complaints at all. The estate offers peace and quiet and includes fields with a picnic table, a games room, a beautiful Victorian kitchen and a walled garden with a croquet field. Walking around, you would not know that you're so close to Wrexham as it is so quiet and green. We will happily come back to try the Butler's Flat someday.

  Cook's Flat had everything we needed for home comfort plus more. The games room was fab and we loved listening to the albums on the vinyl player and the welcome wine, biscuits and milk was a great treat on arrival. We managed a trip to Llangollen, Lanndudno, Conwy and a gorgeous day out in Chester and even managed to brave storm Francis at Betswycoed! Can definitely recommend food at the Cross Foxes. Thank you for making our visit perfect.

• "The apartment was set out nice, lots of room and a relaxing energy (The other half was a big fan of the comfy bed)."

  The surrounding farm and walks were brilliant and gave a real sense of the countryside charm we longed for on our escape. A particular asset was the high walled lawn half way around the estate that was a perfect place for a picnic on summers evenings. The downstairs kitchen and games room were a lovely addition although I personally didn't spend much more than 5 minutes in each. The guest WiFi struggled and was measured at 2mb, Not a big issue for us personally but something to note. The main issue with the property was the smell of the bathroom, it stunk, I don't know whether the septic tanks are the issue but something needs rectifying. There was no bleach, washing up liquid, foil, laundry detergent or firestarters/matches for the candles. Little items that would have simplified our stay and would definitely increase satisfaction for future guests. There were also a rather unfortunate pair of woman's underwear found under the curtains on our first night stay, not really an issue we quickly disposed of them and it gave us something to laugh about. Overall though a satisfying stay, it doesn't take much to please us, I would recommend to someone if those issues stated were rectified.

• "Lovely cosy apartment in beautiful surroundings."

  We had a peaceful relaxing week at Cooks flat and enjoyed walks and picnics around Cefn Park estate. The apartment itself is very tastefully furnished with lovely period features, it still has the servent bell handles next to the fire places. The restored Victorian kitchen downstairs is well worth a look, a real piece of history. Chester is close by as well as a few national trust properties and a perfect location for exploring further in to Snowdonia.

  Estate is wonderful to explore. Location makes you feel like you're in a great private world when in reality the shops and pubs are minutes away.

• "Cooks flat cannot be described as first class."

  Although essentials are clean eg bedding, towels, dishes - could do with a good spring clean to get dust out of corners, cobwebs off windows. Also no wardrobe for hanging clothes. Small improvements which would not cost much would be a small clothes airer, a stool in the bathroom and a toilet roll holder. I think the games room was last in use during the war! Apart from that enjoyed the peace and quiet and the good weather.
