About this property

Chirk 1 mile. A charming, stone mid-terrace cottage, on a working sheep farm, in the scattered hamlet of Pontfaen, one mile from Chirk and 3/4 mile from the train station. This fantastic eco-friendly barn conversion offers delightful holiday accommodation in a stunning setting with views along the valley to the famous Chirk Aqueduct and viaduct, across open countryside and onto the River Ceiriog. Stepping inside you will recognise the attention to detail, with a welcoming entrance hall opening into a fully fitted modern kitchen with dining areas and garden views. The sitting room is spacious and well-thought-out, with character features re-introduced to include wooden wall frames, oak ceiling beams and stylish country furniture. French doors invite you out onto the private patio and three steps lead down onto a shared lawn area, all enjoying the unique views to the World Heritage site of the aqueduct. Upstairs the cottage is equally well laid out with an attractive double bedroom, a single room and a king-size bedroom with en-suite shower facilities. There is private parking on the shared courtyard in front of the cottage, allowing you to park your car safely and enjoy exploring the doorstep countryside trails on foot, with Chirk Castle's famous 'pretty gates' only 1/2 mile away and the nearby Shropshire Way, Offa’s Dyke, Llwybr Ceiriog Trail and Llwybr Maelor Way, perhaps walking to the local pub which is a 15 minute walk along the river. Spending your holiday in such an idyllic, tranquil location is certain to create superb memories of this wonderful holiday cottage and surrounding area.

The small border town of Chirk stands on the escarpment above where the rivers Ceiriog and Dee meet, and is referred to as The Gateway to Wales. Most famous for its magnificent 14th century castle and gardens, one of many built throughout Wales by Edward I, Chirk boasts a wonderful aqueduct, designed by Thomas Telford, a selection of pleasant pubs and restaurants, a convenience store, chemist, gift shop, coffee shops, local butcher's, greengrocers, bakery, an excellent golf course and marina.

    Well equipped. Comfy beds Great location but need a car to get around. Loved the area. Nice touch of home made cake . Wine and chocolates..Heather was lovely host. Would definenately reccomend!

    We were greeted shown around and left with a lovely cake and wine...... both went down very well! My little boy is 5 and particularly loved the wide range of toys (hidden away nicely) to play with. We were staying following a leak at our property locally, so didn't do any tourist activities but the home was a great base for us, very comfortable. Would highly recommend friends and family to stay here if visiting the area. Thank-you for a lovely week.

    We had booked for a birthday getaway, and the owner had put our a birthday cake, chocolates and a bottle of wine, which was a wonderful surprise. The cottage was spotless and the fire had been put on for our arrival, it was very cosy and a lovely homely place. Owners were wonderful, really helped when we asked for local restaurants/pubs and made us feel very welcome. The beds were very comfy, peaceful area at night and lovely to wake up to the birds & river. We had a fabulous stay, and certainly wouldn't hesitate booking again.
