    “A lovely relaxing week for all the family”
    Really enjoyed the House and its location. Very good value for money and low maintenance. 3 generations of one family under one roof = recipe for problems, but the space all worked well and we had a great time. Happy to recommend.

About the location

LLANGYNHAFAL

Ruthin 3 miles; St Asaph 11 miles.

Llangynhafal is a pretty village set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the Vale of Clwyd, four miles from Ruthin. It has an excellent village pub, and a superb example of a 7th century, double-naved church with ornate stone carvings, which is located next to a cottage where the poet William Wordsworth used to stay. Llangynhafal is situated on the Pilgrims Way, which stretches from Holywell to St David's and is still in regular use as part of the Cisterian Way covering a circular route taking in many Abbeys and churches throughout Wales. Four miles away to the south lies the hilltop town of Ruthin. This picturesque town has attractive half-timbered buildings, with many clustered around St Peter's Square. Ruthin has 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, the Offa's Dyke path and Clocaenog Forest all close by. Further afield, but still within easy touring distance, are the North Wales coast, Snowdonia National Park and the historic city of Chester.
