“It was a lovely barn coversion with interesting original features.”

Very nicely furnished and decorated with comfortable beds. Brilliant hot tub! Very nice setting with views of the hills, and the stream just outside. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Small points: there were several serious coffee drinkers in our group who were disappointed by the lack of a cafetiere. And a first aid kit would have been useful when my husband cut himself with a vegetable knife. There were lots of towels which was great with the hot tub - more teatowels would have been useful.

- Mrs Jones, January 2019
“Really friendly owners and clean accommodation.”

Loved the burner and hot tub. We'll definitely be back.

- Mrs Phillips, December 2018
“We loved our break here for Christmas.”

The rooms are a great sizeand well catered for . Immaculately clean . Liz met us upon arrival, lovely lady and her husband took us around there working farm and showed us a farmers life . We loved it . The views are amazing, id say even breath taking . The hot tub was a welcomed treat . Only downside is a very small kitchen to cook and serve for 7 people but we managed. Kitchen has everything from percolators to hand blenders they really have thought of everything. We will be rebooking . Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful Ysgubor.

“The owners were very welcoming and friendly and they really do need to be congratulated on presenting a cottage that was full of character, the renovated barn maintained and incorporated some of the original beams into the build.”

2 of the bedrooms and the main sitting area have high ceilings that add character and depth to the rooms. The wood burner was another welcomed functional feature. During our stay we burned the firewood on the colder nights. The cottage is very cosy, helped by the fact that the thermostat is set at an optimal temperature making the ambient temperature within the cottage comfortable. I'm sure the owners would help out if the temperature needed adjusting on the thermostat. The cottage is located on a working farm, and the physical location of the cottage in the foothills of the Berwyn mountains with the river Ceiriog flowing by the cottage adds to the peace and serenity. There is a part of the river which flows by quite fast and the sound of the flowing fast water is serene. The views from the cottage are amazing. The farmland incorporates mountains and valleys, if you were to stay in the cottage all day there are at least 3 walks that can be done: one along the river Ceiriog through the valley along the mountain pass to a series of waterfalls. Another walk can be done in the opposite direction along the river towards the village and another walk can be done ascending the mountains. During our stay we didn't need to travel very far to visit places of interest, I think the most we travelled was 16 miles. We managed to visit the following attractions: Pistyll Rhaeadr, Chirk Castle and Pontycysyllte Aqueduct. Other than these attractions we did local walks from within the cottage site. During our stay, we got groceries delivered to our cottage using a renowned supermarket. If we needed to top up on anything we went to a village Spar about 3 miles away. The hot tub was a great welcomed facility at the cottage. Was lovely to wind down and relax in the hot tub whilst observing the stars, the silhouettes of the montain peaks and the soothing sound of the river Ceiriog flowing by after a long day of activity or walking. I usually like staying at different cottages, but I think I would come back here again. The owners, the actual cottage, facilities of the cottage and natural surroundings were great. Me and my family had a fantastic time. I would highly recommend this cottage.

- Mr Abubakar, October 2018
“We had a wonderful week at Ysgubor, very comfortable beds and everything as described.”

Spent lots of time in the hot tub looking at the Welsh hills. Would recommend.

- Mrs Cannon, September 2018
“A lovely place to stay away from it all would like to go back again.”

- Mrs Macdonald, July 2018
“A really fantastic location with stunning views.”

The barn conversion is attractive and comfortable and the owners made us very welcome. We would highly recommend this holiday home.

- Mrs Read, June 2018
“Liz was very welcoming and was around if needed.”

The cottage is beautiful and the views are amazing. There are walks from the door and Llangollen is a short drive away, where there are plenty of shops, a canal walk and quaint cafes. A great time was had by all, we would highly recommended this cottage.

- Mrs Gallen, April 2018
“We had a lovely family weekend.”

initially I thought it might be too cold to use the hot tub as we went in February but it was lovely, we even used it at night. The only negative would be that it can get quite cold once the heating goes off so take your own heater. At 8 in the evening my bedroom was freezing but apart from this it was all great. Loved waking up to the sounds of the stream running outside my window

- Ms Teladia, February 2018
“Great weekend beautiful setting .”

Great facilities . Owners may want to consider how to make decking area around hot tub safer. It is so slippy . Also entrance into kitchen when wet is slippy. May need to consider more purposeful flooring. May be update on what equipment is available in the cottage . Tea towels , tea and coffee etc. Great venue lovely owners too very accomadating . Will defo go back . This was my 5th visit

- Mrs Gray, February 2018
“Liz and family made us very welcome.”

About the location

LLANARMON DYFFRYN CEIRIOG

Llangollen 9 miles; Oswestry 10 miles; Shrewsbury 27.5 miles.

Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog is a small Welsh village located at the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains in the Ceiriog Valley, between Oswestry and Llangollen.

A former stopping point for Drovers, the village still retains its two original pubs, both renowned for excellent food and one now offering spa treatments.

The village church is reputed to date back to the 5th century with Bronze Age remnants identifiable.

The area is surrounded by unspoilt walking trails with the nearby village of Glyn Ceiriog being the main village in the picturesque Ceiriog Valley in Wrexham County, North Wales.

This beautiful valley, described by Lloyd George as 'a little piece of heaven on earth’, offers a wealth of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, from walking and fishing to horse riding and cycling.

Formerly the centre of the slate mining industry in the valley, Glyn Ceiriog is located three miles south of Llangollen and offers a good range of local amenities, including two village pubs, a Post Office containing tourist information and a cafe, a well-stocked village store and a community sports centre, offering a range of activities including bicycle hire, tennis, indoor bowls and table tennis.

Nearby, you will find a wide array of attractions, with the dramatic World Heritage Site of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct well worth a visit.

Set alongside the boulder-strewn River Dee, why not visit the popular town of Llangollen, famous for the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod? Offering a good range of pubs and restaurants, as well as many interesting shops, the town also boasts a dramatic mountain backdrop.

Explore the Dee Valley by steam train or canal boat, or take an exhilarating walk up to Castell Dinas Brân, high above the town to enjoy the breathtaking view! The National Trust properties of Chirk Castle and Erddig are both within easy driving distance, while a day-long car trip can take you to visit six of the Seven Wonders of Wales.

Enjoy a visit to the Old Hill Fort at Oswestry, scenic walking on Offa’s Dyke Path, along the crest of the Clwydian Hills, or access the national rail network to explore the Roman city of Chester, Shrewsbury and beyond.

This is a wonderful base for exploring this beautiful region all year round..
