Wonderful host Bronwen greeted us on arrival and was incredibly helpful. Comfortable lounge with countryside views, very comfortable bed, kitchen with every facility. Easy parking. Very pleasant village. Easy access to Llangollen with its railway. The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (and nearby lovely park of Ty Mawr, with views of the viaduct and easy parking) is very close. Bala with its relaxing narrow gauge railway (we were very lucky with the weather!) and Lake Vyrnwy a 50 minute drive away, and Chester Park and Ride (very cheap and efficient) about 25 minutes. Fantastic stay in beautiful and friendly Wales, with The Cottage definitely recommended. Hope to stay there again in the future.
