Guests that stayed at this property said

There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the cleanliness of the property.

The property is praised for its great location, with proximity to local attractions like Llangollen and Mold market. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, and there are fantastic walks and beaches nearby.

Many guests found the beds extremely comfortable and the house cosy, especially with the log fires. However, some guests with mobility issues found the property challenging due to uneven floors and stairs.

The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and offers spacious gardens. However, feedback suggests that the outdoor furniture could be upgraded and that the property may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.

Guests appreciated the welcome pack and the attentive nature of the owners. While gifts are mentioned and add to the experience, it should be noted that such personal touches are subject to change and not guaranteed.

Resting on the outskirts of the quaint village of Pontblyddyn is this remarkable Grade I listed holiday home, Y Fferm. This property has been open to the public for 30 years, and for the first time ever, this charming house is now available to rent and stay overnight! The house is adorned with character, from extraordinary oak beams, original oak doors, stone fireplaces, butchers’ rails and woodburning stoves, Y Fferm is a dog-friendly choice for a group or family of nine looking to add a wealth of character to their North Wales escape. Follow the cobbled path up to the porch area, where you can discard any coats and boots after your journey. Be welcomed into the large living/dining room, where you can look forward to relaxing on the plush sofas as you recount the days adventures in front of the crackling woodburning stove. Move through to the fully-equipped kitchen, featuring a beautiful wooodburning stove for cooler evenings, where the chef of the group will have all they need to create a delicious feast, ready to enjoy at the dining table over bottles of celebratory fizz to toast to your unique setting. On warmer days, why not dine alfresco out in the vast gardens, where you can soak up the sunshine and appreciate the stunning countryside views as your canine companions run and play? Completing the ground floor is a study, where those who want to check in on work can do so thanks to the super-fast WiFi. Make your way up to the first floor, where you can unwind with a soak in the gorgeous freestanding bath, or freshen up in the large walk-in shower, perfect after a day of exploring your surroundings. On this floor, you will find three character-filled rooms, a king-size, a family room with king-size and single, and a child’s bunk, all with traditional wooden flooring, feature fireplaces and exposed beams at every turn. Continue up to the second floor, where you will find an additional sitting room in the eaves with a Smart TV and more character with exposed stone walls and scribings on the beams. Also, on this floor, you will find the fourth and final bedroom, a spacious double, echoing the character features of the other bedrooms. Y Fferm is located near the local amenities in the village of Pontblyddyn; to help ease your self-catered stay, you could also head for a tasty meal at the local pub, The Bridge Inn. The village also boasts Plas Teg, a Grade I listed building and the most haunted house in Wales. Be sure to check out the Pontblyddyn Cricket Ground, where you can watch a game from the premier league club. You could also visit Wrexham, home to an array of bars and restaurants, including the Fat Boar or tour the 12,000-acre ground of the 18th century National Trust property Erddig. The city of Chester is also a short drive from the property. Chester is bursting at the seams with history to explore; from Roman gardens and walls, Chester Castle and the impressive Chester Cathedral, the whole family will enjoy a day at Chester Zoo, home to an array of exotic, fascinating animals.

Pontblyddyn is a small, picturesque village located between Mold and Wrexham, not far from Leeswood. Plas Teg, a Grade I listed building from 1610 and one of the most haunted houses in Wales, is located in a nearby village that has become known for its association with this historic landmark. Additionally, there are shops and a pub (The Bridge Inn) in the village for those nights when you just don't feel like cooking. Mold Castle and numerous cafes, restaurants, and bars, such as The Fat Boar and the Queens Head Inn, can be found in the nearby town of Mold, which is easily accessible by car from the village. Wrexham is also worth visiting because it is home to the National Trust's Erddig, a vast 18th-century manor with a tourable, ornamental 12,000-acre garden; the Ty Pawb art gallery; and the Eagles Meadow shopping centre, which features many well-known retailers.

    Everything catered for and the owner ensured our stay went without any issues. As highlighted , care must be taken by anyone less mobile due to the age of the property , we was also pleasantly surprised by how warm the rooms kept especially in March.

  • Lorraine

    It isn’t for anyone less mobile but for the atmosphere and privilege to be in such a beautiful Elizabethan home it was marvellous. A real wintertime house! Incredibly cosy! We loved it!

  • Helen

    The kitchen was very well equipt, we had all we needed to make the all important big Christmas lunch. Everything was perfect, it was so much fun playing hide and seek in all the nooks and crannies of this lovely historic house. We had a good walk up Moel Famau on Boxing Day. Loggerheads at the bottom of this hill was also great for walks along the river. There is lots to see and do in the local area. The owners were really attentive answering any questions and the place looked so cosy and inviting when we arrived with the Christmas tree lit up. We would recommend to anyone for a lovely relaxing family stay. Thank you.
