  • "Lovely little cottage set in beautiful surroundings."

    The attention to detail by Dave and Trish really shines through. They provided a small welcome pack which included home baked cake (was yummy), dog biscuits and milk. The cottage was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is really well equipped and included a spice rack. There is good quality knives, pans etc which we really appreciated. Dsve and Trish are very friendly and helpful, thank you.

    Thanks for your lovely comments. We were a little non-plussed to find that wasn't backed up with the way you scored the cottage on facilities and maintenance.

Highly recommend a visit to Ruthin and Llangollen and around that area (canal walk etc.). Also Chester is worth a visit. Had a good meal at the Raven Inn, a community pub (ask hosts for location).

About the location

RUTHIN

Llangollen 12 miles; Bala 18.5 miles; Chester 25 miles; Betws-y-Coed 30 miles.

The hilltop town of Ruthin lies to the north of Llangollen via the breathtaking Horseshoe Pass. The town is picturesque with attractive half-timbered buildings, mainly clustered around St Peter’s Square. There are many interesting shops and buildings, whilst the Nant Clwyd House (the oldest timber frame in Wales), Ruthin Gaol and Ruthin Craft Centre, which houses work by internationally recognised artists and craftspeople, are also worth a visit. Beautiful countryside is on Ruthin’s doorstep with Lake Brenig, Moel Famau Country Park and Clocaenog Forest close by. Further afield, but still within easy touring distance, are the coast, Snowdonia National Park and historic Chester.
