About this property

Minffordd was originally two 17th century cottages but is now a comfortable modern holiday home for up to 5 people. It is situated in the centre of the picturesque village of Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog on the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains and close to the town of Llangollen. An ideal base for both family and walking holidays from where you can explore the beautiful Ceiriog valley and surrounding Welsh hills. Less than a two minute walk away you can enjoy the warm hospitality of The West Arms and the Hand Hotel, whether for a drink and bar snack or to enjoy their fine dining.

Set on a country lane, the front door to this lovely holiday home opens into the hallway with the kitchen and sitting room on either side. The spacious kitchen is well equipped with everything you require for a great stay in North Wales, including an American style fridge/freezer and a range cooker, as well as a Belfast sink and wood block worktops. The kitchen has a large breakfast table, with plenty of room for you and your party to linger over morning coffee and decide what you wish to do during the day.

The pleasant sitting room has a bay window with lovely views of the centre of the village including its much photographed signpost. There are two sofas and a drop-leaf table in the bay window for more formal dining or to enjoy a board game or jigsaw puzzle.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and the bathroom. The spacious master bedroom, Maen Gwyn, has windows on three sides to enjoy beautiful views of the hills and Ceiriog valley. It has a king size bed, ample storage in fitted wardrobes and a dressing table. The comfortable double bedroom and single bedroom also have good views.

The modern bathroom is fully tiled with a shower over the bath. There is also a downstairs WC and wash basin.

The property has wifi and unlimited fibre broadband. Note that there is no mobile reception in the village but there is a telephone for emergency calls in the cottage.

Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog is a small Welsh village situated at the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains in the Ceiriog Valley, between Oswestry and Llangollen. A former stopping point for Drovers, the village still retains its two original pubs, both renowned for excellent food and one now offering spa treatments. The village church is reputed to date back to the 5th century with Bronze Age remnants identifiable.

    Great location for walking and a useful bus service

    I would definitely say follow her directions so that you arrive at the cottage via Chirk, as the road is so much better. Even if you have to travel 10 minutes out of your way to do so. On arrival we had to knock on the neighbour's door and ask them to move from the dedicated parking spot for the cottage.... not a great start. (Even though Rosemary said this might happen.) When entering the property there was an overwhelming smell of cigarettes. The property is advertised as non-smoking. We had to go out and buy air freshener to try and get rid of it. The bed that we slept in was very comfortable, and the room is very quiet, even though it faces out onto the lane, which can get very busy with vehicles racing up it. Be careful when stepping out of the door. You will need to keep your wits about you. For us, the property was centrally located for the area that we wanted to see. And if you get the chance, go and eat at 'The Swan ' fantastic food but be warned you will need to be starving when you go as the portions are immense!! 'The Raven' at Welshpool is also very good. Once again on our penultimate day, there was problems with parking. After a long day out and about the last thing you want to be doing is walking around the village trying to find the owner, who was subsequently sitting in the pub, and was too drunk to move his vehicle, so the landlord had to move it for him. Not only this, but at 1am they decide to start shouting about and using the hot tub. (Obviously another holiday let next door) For us, it put a bit of a dampener on our 'relaxing' week, but overall, it was ok. We did bump into a chap who was mowing the lawns who was very understanding to our parking plight, and we did have a laugh. A very nice local!

    If u don’t like single track roads I suggest u start all your journeys from Chirk as suggested in the property details from Mrs Seddon it was invaluable. The house was clean & warm & had everything we needed to prepare meals. Two pubs in the village. We went in the hand on the Friday we arrived for a drink & enquired about booking a table for the Saturday but was not given an answer. So we had our drink & left. We also went to the west arms & was treated very differently needless to say we ate at the west arms & had a lovely meal in a good atmosphere.
