The Farmers Arms - Denbighshire

We stayed for a night while hiking Offa’s Dyke. Owners collected us and took us back to the track. Advised a lovely pub for us to wait for them. The room was amazing. Lovely big shower and claw foot bath. Great big seating area for both dining and lounging that was part of our room. Outside there was a private courtyard with hot tub. Just amazing.

This is our fifth visit to Tafarn y Waen and it definitely deserves another glowing review from my family. Elaine and Pete greet guests with a natural warmth that feels like coming home to family. Everything is beautifully presented and immaculately clean. The rooms are fresh and inviting, with super comfy beds and thick, fluffy towels. We particularly enjoyed Elaine's homemade cooking, especially the cheesecake which we agree is the best we've ever tasted. The full cooked breakfasts are also delicious. Overall, our stay at Tafarn Y Waen was perfect. There's no other place like it in the area and we can guarantee that booking a stay at this unique little spot won't disappoint. We're already looking forward to returning next year.

I had booked the hot tub suite by phone with Elaine, who was extremely helpful and chatty. I mentioned that I was extending our road trip as it was our anniversary. We were met by Pete who welcomed us warmly and showed us though to our room. Wow it's even more stunning than the photos and then we found they had given us an ice bucket with a bottle of prosecco to celebrate. So thoughtful. The wood fired hot tub had been heated ready for us. Pete went through how to use it. So refreshing and relaxing in the glorious sunshine and totally private. It would have been even better if robes were provided, just a thought. We had ordered lamb shanks for dinner and decided to have them in our room as the table was nicely laid. Elaine and Pete brought everything through and it was lovely. The homemade crumble was delicious too. We were instructed to leave the trays outside our room. The bathroom with the roll top bath and separate large shower was lovely, with excellent toiletries. There were plenty of large soft towels. Unfortunately the shower went from freezing to scolding with no in-between. Hopefully the moving toilet seat has been fixed. The super king bed was very comfortable and the curtains kept the light out so we had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was served in the dining room and is prepared to order, including tea and coffee. There was no menu so you have to guess what is available, the toast comes prespread but marmalade/jam wasn't offered. We also found it strange that the next morning it was assumed we wanted exactly the same. We enjoyed exploring the local area and returning for more relaxation in the garden and hot tub. We had predinner drinks in the sitting area before our evening meal, it was nice that others were dining too. Slightly off putting having the almost continuous swoosh of the steam iron though. Elaine and Pete are a gregarious couple and eager to be helpful.

We spent two nights at a wonderful accommodation. The room was beautifully decorated with a classy design. The king-size bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was stunning, with a double-sized shower and a roll-top bath. The private garden with a hot tub was gorgeous. The hosts, Elaine and Pete, were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, even serving us breakfast in our room on the second morning. We highly recommend this place.

We had a fantastic time, lovely owners who couldn't be more welcoming, lovely surroundings and fab accommodation!! We'll be back!
