The property

Llangollen 4 miles. A wonderful Grade II listed detached cottage, situated in an idyllic canalside position next to the magnificent Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

The aqueduct has World Heritage status and carries the Llangollen Canal over the River Dee.

The property is over 200 years old and has a fascinating history, having been the original pay office for the canal toll.

Lovingly renovated by the current owners, it offers every modern comfort, whilst retaining many original features such as beams in the upstairs rooms.

Barges can be hired nearby (daily hire available) for a memorable voyage across the aqueduct or through the Vale of Llangollen into the town itself - an idyllic 4 mile trip.

The historic Telford Inn, next door, serves food year round and has a wonderful canalside garden.

“We had a lovely weeks stay and the weather was great, the cottage is in a fabulous location and so many walks to go on.”

Of course the pub was closed but the owners were very friendly and loved our dog Digby. The cottage was nice and warm as the nights were chilly, and we slept really well the bed was very comfortable. We will definatly return in the future, and the wine was very welcoming. Thankyou for a fab holiday.

Mrs Allen May 2021

“The path/yard wasn’t enclosed meaning children and dogs were not safe as we were next to canal.”

There was an old gate laid down which we tried to wedge but didn’t work. The 2 single bedded room had a very low ceiling arch and number of times we bumped our head really badly and it needs a warning sign there. Also really difficult to seat six people at the dining table.

- Mrs Allen, May 2021
Mrs Briggs September 2020

“Spotlessly clean, and Coronavirus safe.”

The owner has gone overboard to make the cottage safe including the purchase of a fogger machine to spray the whole cottage after cleaning between guests, special arrangements for the bedding, towels etc and the removal of ornaments, books etc. Only one drawback is the garden is not dog safe. It needs a gate between the pub entrance from the wharf and the private garden. Our little dog escaped once onto the canal wharf. However, this has not put us off as we have been to this cottage several times and will be booking again. Brilliant location, full of interest.

- Mrs Briggs, September 2020
Mr Heaton August 2020

“We had a lovely family holiday at Scotch Hall Cottage.”

The location is excellent and the walks which surround the cottage are beautiful. The landlady next door is lovely and accommodating - I recommend the steak pie. Views around the cottage are spectacular. We went as a family of 5 and the dog for 4 nights and we all wish we had stayed longer.

- Mr Heaton, August 2020
Mr Elwick January 2020

“Perfect location for exploring north wales and a very cosy cottage”

- Mr Elwick, January 2020
Mr Chetwin December 2019

“MORE THAN ONE BATHROOM WOULD HAVE BEEN USEFULL”

- Mr Chetwin, December 2019
Mrs Bardsley November 2019

“Lovely cottage close to lots of amenities”

- Mrs Bardsley, November 2019
Mr Lovell September 2019

“We were most impressed with both the facilities and cleanliness upon arrival at Scotch Hall Cottage .”

It exceeded our expectations as a property and its location adjacent to both a great pub and the Pontcysyllte aquaduct were the icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

- Mr Lovell, September 2019
Mr Mawby September 2019

“The welcoming bottle of wine was appreciated but would have appreciated more a carton of milk and a few tea bags!”

- Mr Mawby, September 2019
Mr Molloy August 2019

“The cottage is good for families but with the third bedroom being accessed through the second it wouldn't be ideal for other than family members?”

?? Only one bathroom/toilet isn't enough for 3 bedrooms and a queue formed in the morning! We appreciate the restrictions on a listed property. No recycling facilities (didn't like that) Not much outside space actually on the cottage site but brilliantly placed for the Canal, Aquaduct and pub! Great Wifi Soft furnishings and decorations a tad dated Low ceilings/doorways so be aware of 'head banging'

- Mr Molloy, August 2019
Mr Liptrot August 2019

“We had an amazing family holiday at Scotch Hall, Trevor.”

The owners of the cottage went above and beyond to ensure we had what we needed ( travelling with a small baby) and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and a lovely clean house with a nice quirky layout. The location was also a winner, right next to the canal and the stunning aquaduct. Having a baby meant early nights in though, so our only negative point was the tv situation was quite basic, no ability to watch catch up/ sign in to Netflix etc. However, there was good Wi-Fi . We would definitely stay again and recommend it !

- Mr Liptrot, August 2019
Mr Bayfield August 2019

“A fabulous cottage in a unique location and within easy reach of local amenities and attractions.”

The owners are lovely and most helpful too.

- Mr Bayfield, August 2019
Mrs Hipkiss June 2019

“The cottage was very old and quirky but plenty of room and a great location.”

There are some lovely walks into Llangollen and Chirk along the canal plus some more shorter local walks. We took our dog and he loved it. The cottage is dated inside but it suits the age of the cottage and as a base it was great. The pub next door is an added bonus and the food there was delicious. The pub owners were very welcoming and gave us lots of information about the local area and things to do and see. If you are after a luxury cottage this isn’t it but if you want a good, clean, comfortable base to explore the area then this is it. We had a really lovely time.

- Mrs Hipkiss, June 2019
Mrs Dewire May 2019

“Excellent cottage in a fantastic location.”

Really appreciated being able to book for 4 nights as this was all the available time we had as a family to go on holiday. Good price for the cottage.

- Mrs Dewire, May 2019
Ms Snodgrass May 2019

“Scotch Hall Cottage was the perfect place to spend a couple of days prior to setting out on our narrow boat holiday.”

The setting beside the canal is lovely and the pub next door makes eating out easy if you don’t want to drive somewhere.

- Ms Snodgrass, May 2019
Mrs O'keeffe May 2019

“This cottage has a superb location if you're mad about narrowboats and canals!”

We believe that, in this day and age, only one bathroom for six people is not acceptable; and this property does have the room to provide en-suite facilities, just needs the money spending on it.

- Mrs O'keeffe, May 2019

It is a grade 2 listed, 220 year old building therefore cannot alter the building structure. Unable to add any en-suite facilities on this basis. Money is spent on property wherever necessary. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Keenan March 2019

“The cottage was clean and warm.”

Food at the attached pub was good value pub grub. We’d love to come back!

- Mrs Keenan, March 2019
Mr Briggs March 2019

“How good is this cottage ?”

We stayed there last year & have already booked again for next year. Can I say more ?

- Mr Briggs, March 2019
Mrs Mitchell December 2018

“Wow what a wonderful cottage perfect location very clean and the bedrooms where ...”

Wow what a wonderful cottage perfect location very clean and the bedrooms where so much bigger than i expected i would definitely book this cottage again owners even left us a welcome gift of wine and biscuits would recommend anyone to stay here

- Mrs Mitchell, December 2018
Ms Barrett October 2018

“Fantastic location with stunning views.”

A very cosy dog friendly cottage with good WiFi and lots on your doorstep - would definitely return

- Ms Barrett, October 2018
Mrs Evans August 2018

“This is an old, unusual, quirky property in a glorious location!”

10/10 for the location. We’ve fallen in love with canal life! It’s also handy being right next to The Telford Inn, with good food. The layout is on 3 Levels, with plenty of space in each of the rooms. The bedding was clean and overall facilities basic. A visitors book and tourist information would have been handy. Thankfully, the WiFi was strong enough to plan our own activities and find the nearest supermarket. Although we will definitely visit the area again, it will not be in this property. For a holiday property, it just wasn’t for us, due to a number of issues which have been passed on to Sykes and the owners.

- Mrs Evans, August 2018
Mrs Stratford June 2018

“Very quirky cottage, in a brilliant position,not very good for people with disabilities because of steep stairs , next to pub ( almost on their car park) food there is good.”

Out of the door and you are on the canal bank.lovely canal boat trips or just sit and watch the others manageing the barges.great holiday but be wary of the steps.

- Mrs Stratford, June 2018
Mr Briggs March 2018

“Excellent cottage located in an area we love.”

Friendly owners & bottle of wine much appreciated. Only, small problem was none working gas fire. However this won't affect future hirers as the owner had it replaced as we were leaving. Central heating very efficient which meant it didn't make life uncomfortable. Pub next door had lovely friendly owners and excellent food. The quality of their steak pie isn't exaggerated ! Can recommend this let to anyone - particularly if you like canals. Easy access to Llangollen and other interesting places. Will be returning.

- Mr Briggs, March 2018
Miss Benn August 2017

Mrs Mulholland November 2016

“Great location, super boiler, provided all the hot water we needed for six people getting ready for a wedding, and two very muddy ones returning from Llandegla biking centre.”

Brilliant spot for stand up paddle boarding, and good pub food and welcoming staff next door in Telford arms. Cottage owners charming and very helpful.

“Scoth Hall Cottage was everything we could have wished for, it was so lovely.”

The location was excellent and the people at the Telford Inn next door serving meals was amazing. We would certainly love to go back and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

- Mrs Grundy, March 2015
Mr Whitehouse July 2014

“Great location, quiet even though its on the canal basin and next to the pub.”

The cottage does not get any noise from either although sitting in the garden you will speak to nearly every customer walking from the tow path to the pub. The location is excellent if you want to walk along the canals as both Llangollen and Chirk are only a few miles away along a totally flat tow-path.

- Mr Whitehouse, July 2014
Ms Lewis May 2014

“Excellent location, busy on the canal by day but quiet and peaceful at night.”

Loved all the wildlife. Fantastic cottage, well equipped, comfortable beds, warm and welcoming.

- Ms Lewis, May 2014
