The market town of Holywell, located in North Wales, gets its name from St. Winefride's Well, one of Wales' Seven Wonders and the most well-known landmark in the area. With a range of late Georgian and Victorian structures to choose from, Holywell has over 60 listed buildings. It also has a pedestrianised shopping area, pubs, restaurants, and an open-air market every Thursday. The 12th-century Basingwerk Abbey ruins are located inside the boundaries of the Greenfield Valley Historic Site, which also has a museum, and are only one mile distant. The open common area at Halkyn Mountain, Pennant Way, Offa's Dyke, and The Welsh Coastal Path are just a few of the area's great walking trails. The charming market town of Mold, which hosts an outdoor market on Wednesday and Saturday, is reachable by car. Just across the border in England is the mediaeval city of Chester with its renowned Rows, Roman Walls, racetrack, zoo, shopping, and restaurants. The charming seaside community and beach of Talacre are close by, making it simple to access the stunning Welsh Coast. Together with the magnificent Snowdonia mountains, Prestatyn, Rhyl, and of course Llandudno are all conveniently located. There are also several lovely gardens to visit, such Bodnant Gardens in Snowdonia and Ness on the Wirral, to name just two.

  • Robert

    Loved the deck and the hot tub.

  • Lee

    We did not meet the owners throughout our stay, but I'm sure they would've been available if we needed them as they live above the cottage. There is no bath as advertised. Lots of info left on local walks, which we appreciated. Hot tub was amazing, especially after a day of walking. Our dog loved exploring the garden. Lovely local pub just a few yards away, (had the best Sunday lunch ever in here) The only thing that could be added to improve this lovely cottage would be some lights going down the driveway as its very dark at night, so need a torch. We would definitely stay again as we had such a lovely relaxing week.
