“Great escape” We've stayed at Tan Lan on 3 separate occasions, its a great place to escape too. The owners are friendly, welcoming and helpful, the cottage is well equipped and has a glorious spot in the village. Transport to the bigger villages and towns is only a few minutes away, the train ride to Llandudno is a day out in itself. Local shop is only a few minutes walk away. Were planning our next visit soon

30 Oct 2011

“Adequate” Cottage was adequately furnished. However, there were many stains on the carpets and internal walls did have mildew on and flaking paint on the walls and cooker could have done with a thorough clean - and some of the guestbook reviews did say 'home from home'!! The photographs on advertisement for this property did look a lot better than the reality. The location was great and a well stocked local shop and the forest walk through the gate of the rear of the property was good and scenic. Response: We were very disappointed to read the harsh review posted on 30th October. The stains on what was a new carpet were made by visitors earlier in the season. Every effort was made to clean the damage but doing so after the event is a much tougher task. One must appreciate that carpets connot be replaced every time something like this occurs which fortunately is rare. The review also implies that the advert photographs have somehow been manipulated. This is not the case. We have been letting the cottage for five years and have a number of guests who return on a regular basis. We are always happy to receive constructive comments either personally or in the visitors book. The reviewer in this instance had at least two occasions to make their complaints known to the owners personally but chose instead to put them in print. Guests must understand that we offer a cosy C19th stone cottage as stated in the advert and not a 5* hotel.
