About this property
A detached former farmhouse once forming part of the Chirk Castle estate, located in a secluded spot just above the market town of Llangollen, enjoying far reaching views and open countryside. Perfect for families or friends wishing to escape from it all, this isolated retreat is something special, oozing with character and charm from start to finish. Enter the accommodation via the porch, where you will arrive at a farmhouse kitchen/diner, which brings a sense of the countryside indoors. Whether preparing your favourite meals or dining with your loved ones, this is a homely place to unwind in comfort. Two sitting rooms rest on the ground floor, the first comes as a cosy snug with a selection of seating, whilst the second boasts an enchanting dining area, joined by an L-shaped sofa and exposed beams. Wherever you choose to relax, simply sit back and enjoy the warmth from the woodburning stove, tucked away beneath exposed stonework and antique furniture. Cosy up in the one-of-a-kind, en-suite double bedroom come night time, or choose between the two first floor doubles, elevated by a front-facing or south-facing view. The same sense of quirkiness continues to the twin set-up, and a family bathroom ties this all together in a quality fashion. If you can steer yourself away from the interior, make the most of the hillside, rural walks, and acres of scenery located directly on your doorstep. Within a mile walk of the National Trust Chirk Castle and grounds, 2 miles to Llangollen town centre to look around the many shops set next to the River Dee.The Llangollen steam railway, the horseshoe waterfalls and Castell Dinas Brân are all local attractions worth visiting.The world heritage site of the Pontcysyllte aqueduct is also within close reach. Snowdonia National Park is less than 30miles away, where you can enjoy lots of scenic walks, and is perfect for a day out with the family.The Roman walled city of Chester is less than a 30 minute drive, where you can visit the Cathedral.
A part of Wales not to be missed.
The village of Pontfadog is home to a pub serving real ale and home cooked food. Close by lies Wrexham and within twenty minutes, you can lose yourself in the Welsh hills, be fascinated by the Roman remains in Chester, or view the rich historical past within Wrexham County Borough. Visit Minera Lead Mines and Country Park and Ty Mawr Country Park with its collection of animals and pleasant walks both in the Wrexham area.

Kids loved exploring the grounds and plenty to do to keep the adults entertained in the 'pub' with darts and pool.

The setting is peaceful and picturesque. Unfortunately the facilities let it down: only 2 showers worked which was particularly difficult for my 88year old mother. The owner said he would come and sort but didnât. Dishwasher in main kitchen doesnât wash properly. Knives are so blunt you canât cut anything - we tried to sharpen but still useless. Heating is operated remotely by owner which makes it difficult to regulate. The lack of hot water and cold bedrooms made it very challenging for a family of 15. If all this was sorted this place would be perfect.

We did have a lovely time. We appreciate it is an old building and if people staying there don't give feedback then things cannot be sorted.The general cleanliness in the main kitchen was below par. Quite a few peices of crockery were chipped/ broken. The chairs at the kitchen table some were very unstable and not safe. The bedrooms were all clean and tidy and the bed linen and towels were good quality. The back up electric heaters were a must as the central heating was somewhat temperamental. The place got cosy when the log burner was going. There lacked a downstairs cloakroom/WC. There we some unwanted guests (mice) in the small kitchen. And something larger in the loft. All in all despite the above this is a lovely place to visit in a beautiful setting.
