We thank you for your letters and e-mails and look forward to welcoming
you back again in the near future.

 

Mr Middlebrough, Wirral. Oct 31st 2007.

A great big thank you to Kelly, Janet and Peter for a wonderful very short stay at your house last Saturday.  The meal was superb and the accommodation of the highest standard in every detail.  We hope to see you again in the near future and we have recommended you to all our friends.

Mr & Mrs Toward, Tyne & Wear. Oct 30th 2007.

Thank you for a lovely time in you're beautiful home.  The food was delicious and the setting ideal.  Please can we come again?

Dr & Mrs Westwood, Aberdare. Oct 8th 2007.

Kelly - and your Mum & Dad

I can't remember if we sent a thank you before but in case we didn't and apologies if repetition.

We thoroughly enjoyed being welcomed into your home - for that is what it felt like; the room was delightful, well designed and had lovely views.  Neither of us can remember when we last enjoyed dining so much - every course of every meal was a treat, and I'm sure we put pounds on.

We met some very pleasant fellow guests in a very relaxed atmosphere.  Our traveling around N Wales (which we love) was fun, seeing some old places and some new and even a ride on the Welsh Highland Railway, and a walk part way up Snowdon!

Many thanks - we're looking forward to coming back sometime.

Mr & Mrs Lewis, Kent. Sept 17th 2007.

We have enormously enjoyed our various stays at Tan-y-Foel, each time we have come away wondering how Janet can produce such consistently superb dinners for so many people.

Thank you all for making a stay with you such an enjoyable experience.

Mr & Mrs Melzack, Middx. June 18th 2007.

Dear Peter, Janet and Kelly

We would just like to say how much we enjoyed our recent stay at Tan-y-Foel.  We much appreciated all the thought and skill that went into your decor and service, and especially the food.  We were also most impressed with the way that you organized the excellent weather.

Mrs Ericson. USA. June 12th 2007.

Dear Kelly

I want to thank you so much for our delightful stay at Tan-y-Foel.  Everything was simply wonderful.

After coming home, I began to think about your mother's wonderful meals.  Chez Panisse is a restaurant in the Bay Area that receives many accolades and is credited by some as being ground zero for the beginning of California cuisine back in the 70's.  It's founder, Alice Waters, is a major presence in the foodie scene in the U.S.  It has received one Michelin star and scores highly in the Zagat guide.  It has the usual battery slicers, dicers, line cooks, sommeliers, executive chefs, sous chefs, yadda, yadda, yadda; and it does serve some wonderful meals.  But...you have no choice.  It is a set menu; and if you do not want guinea hen or sand dabs the night you are there, too bad.

Then I thought about your mother in her kitchen turning out exquisite meals with two choices for the starter,  main course and dessert, not to mention the wealth of choices at breakfast, and I am simply awed.  And I was always tempted by both options in each course.  The execution was superb.  I think I shall remember the meals at Tan-y-Foel longer than the train ride up Mt Snowdon or the gardens at Bodnant.  In addition Ed - who it quite knowledgeable about wine - was very impressed by your wine list.  Thanks again.

Mr & Mrs O'Keefe, Bath. May 2007

Thank you for a memorable stay in your beautiful new room and the wonderful food.  A country house as it should be.

Mr & Mrs Miller, Scotland. March 2007.

Dear Jan, Peter and Kelly

Just a wee card to say thank you for a splendid weekend.  This was our first...but not last trip to North Wales and we thoroughly enjoyed it.  Our stay with you was so relaxing you looked after us so well.  Your service was fabulous and your food outstanding!  We can't thank you enough.  We look forward to staying with you again.

Mr & Mrs Clifford, Cheshire Feb 19th 2007

Thank you for a fabulous winter break at Tan-y-Foel where we were treated like royalty - it was a dream from beginning to end.  You made us feel very special, giving us happy memories of a beautiful country house, furnished exquistely.

A special thank you too, for superb meals, beautifully presented and containing a perfect blend of herbs and spices - oh, so delicious.

Pat & Alan Katesmark, Northants

Thank you all for making our stay so unique and memorable.
We needed a total break from business before starting 'the silly season'.
We had not expected such incredibly high standards at all levels.
The location, decor, service and of course the cuisine made it such a wonderful break. We shall be back in the new year but in the mean time enjoy your well deserved holiday.

We cannot conclude our holiday without putting on record our thanks to you for making us so very welcome and at home during our all-too-brief stay with you. We enjoyed luxury accommodation and service and it goes without saying, superb cuisine... a memorable and happy holiday indeed!

Mr & Mrs Askew, Leeds

Just returned from a superb weekend at a Country House called
Tan-y-Foel. I cannot recommend this hotel enough, everything was perfect! Janet's culinary skills are well in advance of her WTB Five Star rating you should definitely be considering upgrading this! The decor and ambience are perfect. I will have no problem recommending this hotel to anyone.

A rather belated note to say thank you for looking after us so well last weekend (6th-8th Aug), we had a delightful time and the weather was perfect as well.  We have never eaten better in the UK. You are definitely on our A list, we will be back.
Sandrine Lopat & Didier Roulin, London
July 5th 2005

Our brief visit to Snowdonia was definitely highlighted by our stay in your beautiful home and you and your parents ever-so attentionate services and your mother's delicious cuisine. We couldn't have dreamt of a better way to spend this long awaited break, away from the pressures of the city and a lovingly demanding 20 month old toddler! We are grateful to you and your parents for having made our stay a very special one and send you all our best wishes for a good continuation of the family enterprise and happy returns.
A. J. Ward, Surrey

Now that we are safely back home, I am writing to say how much we enjoyed our short stay with you.  We were full of admiration for the way the three of you ran everything so superbly - not even one frustrated cry from the kitchen!  Mum's cooking was fantastic and Dad and Kelly ran the front of house like a Rolls-Royce engine.  Congratulations to you all.
