The Cottage

About this property

Holywell 2.8 miles. The Cottage is a traditional holiday home residing in Halkyn, near the quaint town of Holywell, Flintshire. Ideal for friends or family, this abode makes an excellent base for four guests to explore the natural beauty of North Wales. Inside, the designated chef can prepare some yummy meals for all the family, before heading to the dining room to toast a superb day, and then head to the sitting room to cosy up with your loved ones around the roaring fire. After a long day of adventures, indulge in a long, warm shower and catch your rest in the pleasant rooms with snug beds. Savour an evening glass of wine outside by the table near to the entrance door, the courtyard or enjoy a morning stroll around the splendid grounds of The Hall adjacent to the cottage. For stocking up on the essentials, take a trip to Holywell or the local convenience store at Pentre Halkyn, or if you don't fancy cooking for the evening, head out to the local pub, The Glan-y-Afon. Whilst staying at the cottage, you must visit the bustling city of Chester, a short drive away. Meet the world's tallest land animal at Chester Zoo, a major draw for animal lovers of the group, visit the beautiful Cathedral and tour Chester City Walls, or head down to the River Dee, ideal for an afternoon walk and ice cream. Home to the highest mountain in Wales, take an adventure to Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) to find a wealth of attractions, including Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), perfect for avid walkers, Snowdonia Watersports, for a splash of fun, and grab a bite to eat at Pen-y-Ceunant Isaf Tea House. To suit all ages and tastes, the seaside town of Rhyl is also accessible by car, home to golden sands and incredible views, excellent for a tranquil walk down the coastline, a sunset cycle or dine at a waterfront restaurant. Enjoy all of this and more by booking The Cottage.

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.
