Hafan Bach

About this property

Hafan Bach is a single-storey retreat set in the village of Lloc near Holywell, Flintshire, offering a relaxed base for families, friends or couples looking to enjoy a slower pace of life in North Wales. Outside, an enclosed gravelled area provides a private space to sit out, offering a welcome place to unwind after days spent exploring the area. Inside, the lodge is laid out for easy-going stays, with a well-equipped kitchen and dining space containing everything needed for self-catered meals. The sitting room is a comfortable spot to settle into during cooler evenings, centred around a woodburning stove. With a well-arranged king size bedroom, served by a smart shower room.

Off-road parking for up to three cars adds convenience, and the lodge is well-suited to both short breaks and longer stays. The surrounding area offers plenty to explore. Local shops and a friendly pub can be found nearby, while a short drive opens up a wider choice of days out. Chester is easily accessible for its historic city walls, shops and restaurants, Prestatyn offers a traditional seaside atmosphere and coastal walks, and Mold provides a lively market town with independent shops and regular events. The wider North Wales coastline and countryside are also well placed for further exploration. Hafan Bach offers a peaceful base for discovering the varied landscapes, towns and coastline of North Wales.

The market town of Holywell in North Wales takes its name from the town’s most famous attraction, the 7th century St Winefride’s Well, one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. Holywell boasts over 60 listed buildings, with a variety of late Georgian and Victorian buildings on offer, along with a pedestrianised shopping centre, pubs, restaurants and an open-air market every Thursday. Just one mile away are the 12th century ruins of Basingwerk Abbey within the grounds of the Greenfield Valley Heritage Park, with its museum. There are many lovely walking routes in the area, including the open common area at Halkyn Mountain, Pennant Way, Offa’s Dyke and The Welsh Coastal Path. Within driving distance is the pretty Market town of Mold, which holds an outdoor market on a Wednesday and Saturday. The historic city of Chester, with its famous Rows, Roman Walls, racecourse, zoo, shops and restaurants is just over the border in England. The beautiful Welsh Coast is easily reached with the little seaside village and beach of Talacre only a short drive away. Prestatyn, Rhyl, and of course Llandudno are also easily accessible, together with the majestic mountains of Snowdonia. There are also some beautiful gardens to visit, Ness on the Wirral, and Bodnant Gardens in Snowdonia to name just two.
