About this property
A Welsh country house lovingly restored
Set within mature private grounds in the North Welsh countryside, built in 1860 Ein Cynefin is a five-bedroom manor house that embodies style and Welsh heritage. With a blend of grandeur, sleek interiors and coziness, the luxury home offers deep luxury for up to 10 + 3 guests.
Soughton, North Wales
The house sits in the countryside near Soughton with easy access to the Welsh coast. Close to the border, it is 20 minutes from Chester, and 40 minutes from both Liverpool and Manchester. Nestled in the picturesque North Wales countryside, this family holiday destination offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Clwydian Range.
While simply admiring Moel Famau from the terrace may be satisfying, don't underestimate the ease of reaching its summit. Standing at 554 meters, it is the highest peak in the range and rewards climbers with stunning vistas of Snowdonia, Liverpool, and the Cheshire Plain.
Explore the stunning Eryri (Snowdonia) and conquer its majestic peaks, or take a leisurely stroll amidst the enchanting Bodnant Gardens. Delve into history with a visit to the ancient Chirk Castle, dating back to the 13th century, or immerse yourself in the grandeur of Conwy Castle. Witness the awe-inspiring sight of barges traversing the magnificent Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a renowned World Heritage Site. Dare to challenge your fear of heights as you walk across this remarkable feat of engineering!
