About this property
Ruthin 2.6 miles. Woodlands Retreat, a delightful, detached holiday home rests upon the semi-rural Lyons Woodlands Hall Caravan Park in Llanfwrog near Ruthin, Denbighshire. Surrounded by lush, countryside views, this charming abode is the perfect spot to get away from it all and enjoy a relaxing holiday with friends and family, offering eight guests a well-equipped base with a range of on-site facilities. Park up, unload your belongings and cross the threshold into Woodlands Retreat, arriving to a bright and airy atmosphere. The living/dining room is the perfect place to relax and admire views out to the garden, complete with an electric fire ideal for lighting on cooler evenings. If you feel like staying in and cooking, the kitchen/diner is well-equipped, or head to the on-site bar and restaurant to dine out. Spend your evenings soaking up the last of the sunshine in the rear, woodland garden, enjoying views of the Welsh Mountain Range, where you can dine alfresco, light the barbecue, and enjoy a dip in the private hot tub. When it’s time to rest, retreat to one of the four bedrooms, choosing from a king-size with en-suite walk-in shower, a double, a ground-floor double, and a twin. Freshen up in the bathroom before enjoying a morning coffee in the conservatory, looking out onto the park. With access to a range of on-site facilities, including a gym, sauna, tennis courts, an enclosed dog walking park, and an indoor, heated swimming pool, you can really make the most of your stay. Get ready to explore the best of the North Wales region; from the historic Ruthin with its 13th-century castle, to the fascinating market town of Bala or the stunning cathedral and high street of shops further afield in Chester. Get your walking boots on and explore the trails of the unspoilt countryside of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, or travel to the picturesque town of Betws-y-Coed, home to the famous Swallow Falls and Plas y Brenin, the National Mountain Centre. Visit the world-renowned town of Llangollen with its wealth of historic attractions or take a boat trip down the River Dee. With rural landscape and bustling towns to explore, a stay at Woodlands Retreat is sure to be one to remember.
The hilltop town of Ruthin lies to the north of Llangollen via the breathtaking Horseshoe Pass. The town is picturesque with attractive half-timbered buildings, mainly clustered around St Peter’s Square. There are many interesting shops and buildings, whilst the Nant Clwyd House (the oldest timber frame in Wales), Ruthin Gaol and Ruthin Craft Centre, which houses work by internationally recognised artists and craftspeople, are also worth a visit. Beautiful countryside is on Ruthin’s doorstep with Lake Brenig, Moel Famau Country Park and Clocaenog Forest close by. Further afield, but still within easy touring distance, are the coast, Snowdonia National Park and historic Chester.

On site facilities are also incorrect, there is no sauna or gym and the new swimming pool is not finished. Staff said it will be complete by end of the summer. The house needs maintenance. The step into the conservatory is broken and has sharp plastic sticking out. The cupboards in the conservatory are unsanitary, full of dirt and there's alot of dead bugs. The house has had a general clean but it needs a deep clean as it's full of cobwebs and in general is dirty. There's damp in the corner of the living room. When we arrived the hot water wasn't working so we had to fill the kettle several times to boil so my son could have a bath. The heating was on and thermostat set to 24c but still the house was cold. And hot tub was cold. We asked at reception and maintenance visited the same day to fix a leaking radiator, rectified the problem with the hot tub and the fixed the hot water problem. After mentioning no WiFi for second time, the staff did give us a portable WiFi box which worked for one day and intimitatly worked for the 3 days we were there. Staff were very friendly and the maintenance man visited the next day to make sure that everything was working OK. The garden isn't fully enclosed as fences are broken and new fence panels are just placed there Instead of being properly fitted. Once the swimming pool is built, it would be a nice park to visit as there's no much else on site. However we will not be returning and I would not recommend to anyone to stay in this house with the current condition it is in. It needs a good clean, some things fixed and it'd be better if they make use of the empty tiled office space next to the conservatory. It's a cold and empty dirty room with potential.

We thought the house was clean and comfortable and met most of our needs although kitchen equipment was limited.We like to cook as a family and seriously struggled with what was provided.We really liked the holiday park it was clean and the dog field and football pitch was a big hit.We would book this house again unfortunately the add on Sykes said the house had WiFi.It did not and of course this affected the smart tv as well.If you are considering booking this house you should check first with Sykes because their add is inaccurate.
