  • "Cartref was an absolute jem."

    The surroundings were great, the horses were lovely and we even got to feed them carrots. Waking up to sheep in the front garden on top of the plant bed made a Great photo oppertuaty. Great position from exploring North Wales. The only things that we would have changed is to have the front garden enclosed so the dogs could be let off the leads. We would have liked a mop and bucket (due to general dirt over the stay) or even a hoover. The glasses in the cupboard still had dried red wine in them and the fridge had to be cleaned (not much though). The plates in the cupboard were still wet. Don't let this put you off as we've said, this is a a lovely cottage and lovely area.

HOLYWELL

Mold 9 miles; Prestatyn 10 miles; Chester 18 miles.

The market town of Holywell in North Wales takes its name from the town’s most famous attraction, the 7th century St Winefride’s Well, one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. Holywell boasts over 60 listed buildings, with a variety of late Georgian and Victorian buildings on offer, along with a pedestrianised shopping centre, pubs, restaurants and an open-air market every Thursday. Just one mile away are the 12th century ruins of Basingwerk Abbey within the grounds of the Greenfield Valley Heritage Park, with its museum. There are many lovely walking routes in the area, including the open common area at Halkyn Mountain, Pennant Way, Offa’s Dyke and The Welsh Coastal Path. Within driving distance is the pretty Market town of Mold, which holds an outdoor market on a Wednesday and Saturday. The historic city of Chester, with its famous Rows, Roman Walls, racecourse, zoo, shops and restaurants is just over the border in England. The beautiful Welsh Coast is easily reached with the little seaside village and beach of Talacre only a short drive away. Prestatyn, Rhyl, and of course Llandudno are also easily accessible, together with the majestic mountains of Snowdonia. There are also some beautiful gardens to visit, Ness on the Wirral, and Bodnant Gardens in Snowdonia to name just two.
