About this property
This traditional detached cottage is situated in the charming Shropshire hamlet of Bronygarth, surrounded by nature. Dating from the 17th century, this former gamekeeper's cottage mixes traditional features with modern luxuries. Step into the hallway and you will immediately be impressed by the style and quality of the cottage. Low ceilings and doorways in some areas. To the right is the kitchen with the original quarry tile floor and modern appliances where you can rustle up a tasty meal. From here, you can access the utility room which leads into a charming single bedroom, a great hideaway from the rest of the house. Across the hallway is the comfy sitting room which features low wooden beams and a woodburning stove which is guaranteed to keep you warm, whatever the weather is doing outside. From the sitting room, stairs lead up to two first floor bedrooms, both with decorative fireplaces, with the master room also boasting an en-suite shower room. At the rear of the cottage are beautifully manicured lawned gardens, with a patio area where you can sit with a morning coffee as you plan the day's adventures. Bronygarth is a small hamlet in the Ceiriog Valley on the border of Shropshire and North Wales. Just a few minutes drive is the popular town of Chirk, with a range of shops and pubs, as well as the National Trust owned Chirk Castle, a magnificent medieval castle which will provide a magical day out for all ages, and which can be seen from the cottage. With easy access to the watersports centres of Llangollen and Bala, and further on to the Snowdonia National Park, you are ideally placed for an adrenaline-fuelled holiday. However, if you fancy a more genteel pace to your holiday, visit nearby Erddig, another superb NT property, A short drive to the British Ironwork Centre, which offers a full day out as well as events and fun for all ages, or the fabulous city of Chester with its Roman Walls and Amphitheatre, Chester Zoo, and the superb Roodee racecourse. A wonderful cottage for a relaxing break in beautiful countryside.

The cottage is in lovely area and you have quick access to the me and roads so if you wanting to go anywhere in the surrounding area you've got quick access. Cottage itself is lovely inside and out, the garden was amazing to sit out in on an evening and just relax. Inside the cottage has a very homely feel to it, lovely warm and welcoming. The kitchen has everything you need for a self-catering cottage. You couldn't ask for better communication with the property owner is spot on the property owner is lovely and extremely friendly and welcoming, I definitely will be rebooking the cottage in the future.

Susan was there to welcome us and show us around this lovely cosy 17th Century cottage, but with all the facilities of modern day living. Really well equipped. Many walks can be taken directly from the property in the beautiful Ceriog valley, or one can relax in the lovely garden. Susan provided many extras, wine, freshly baked lemon cake, plus a host of other treats. We picked apples from the garden and blackberries from the hedgerow. Everywhere is so accessible, with so many places to visit, a week wasnât long enough. Certainly worth another visit. Thank you Susan.
