  • "Spotless. Such a treat to stay in such a lovely cottage, although we had to cut short our stay due to a health problem."

    Warm and bright with everything you needed. Sandra is a very nice friendly lady. Try the Grosvenor in Aldford for food really good quality.

    Thank you for your lovely review. It was a privilege to be part of your special birthday. Thank you also for the chocolates. All the best to you both. Hope we may see you again. Property Owner

Some nice walks around the village and along the river Dee There are 4 pubs within walking distance some of which serve food plus a chinese takeaway and an indian restruant, also a large garden center in the village.

  • "Location of this end-terrace cottage is great."

    It’s a 5 minute walk from the shops, cafes and restaurants in Holt including a great farm shop and a 15 minute walk to the equally beautiful Farndon with chemist, excellent butcher, florist, more cafes and two great pubs with food, both very different in style and atmosphere. In addition, it’s on the bus route from Wrexham to Chester so we didn’t use the car at all for the first week we were here. The cottage itself isn’t perfect but it’s pretty good. The place was spotlessly clean and equipped with all the essentials for a good stay. There is a good supply of cookware, all of it clean and in excellent condition, although only basic utensils. There’s plenty of light downstairs although no privacy with the blinds open because of the huge glassed area. The bed was comfortable and we slept well here and there was plenty of hot water and very good towels. On the downside, taps in the kitchen were very difficult to turn off and the shower is a little short of elbow room and places to put things. Having said that, after our first week we rebooked for another two weeks. Recommended.

    Thank you for your feedback. We try hard to please everyone and it was a compliment that you rebooked for an extra two weeks. Not sure what utensils are missing from the kitchen. I could have provided anything if you had requested it. The glazed bi-folds doors to the rear have integrated blinds within the glazing units so each door can be closed off to the outside as required if full privacy is necessary. Thank you for the recommendation. Property Owner

    Sandra & Alan have worked hard to make it a comfortable little ‘bolt hole’. It’s immaculate and has everything you need for a relaxed break. We have just spent a couple days here and enjoyed our break immensely. Thoroughly recommend this property.

    Thank you for your kind feedback. We really do appreciate it when our guests are happy with our property. Lovely you meet you both, Best wishes Property Owner

About the location

HOLT, NORTH WALES

Wrexham 5 miles; Chester 10 miles.

The Welsh/English border village of Holt was founded in 1282 and sits on the banks of the River Dee, 10 miles from Chester, where the Holt Bridge formed an important border crossing with Farndon for centuries. The village has seen several conflicts during its existence and damage from musket shots can still be seen in the door of the impressive St Chad’s Church. Holt is a picturesque village with a small village green, local pubs and shops and the ruins of Holt Castle, which date back to around 1284. Across the river lies the village of Farndon, over the border in England, where visitors will find splendid little shops, as well as welcoming pubs, ideal for relaxing in with friends and family. Why not visit the Roman City of Chester with its famous Rows, excellent shopping, celebrated zoo and popular racecourse? For those who like walking and outdoor activities, Snowdonia National Park is only a couple of hours drive away and is ideal for days out. Holt is a perfect base from which to enjoy this beautiful and exciting region.
