Guest access You have the whole detached property to yourself, with no neighbours. There is a locked workshop and fuel store, but the rest of the property and gardens is all yours to enjoy.
Other things to note The cottage stands in gardens away from any neighbours, and with plenty of parking. It is accessed via a short but steep lane with a gate at top and bottom. This lane is passable with a normal car unless there is snow, ice or heavy rain, in which case an alternative but longer route to/from the village of Cynwyd can be used. Full details are provided prior to arrival.
We had a great time at the cottage it has such a warm welcoming feeling and the gardens are amazing. We really like the peace and solitude of this place it helped me unwind.

Outstanding cottage in a fantastic location
This is an amazing property in a secluded setting. If you are after some peace and quiet, then this really delivers, and we found the information about the history of the property very interesting. The hosts have gone the extra mile in making you feel welcome as soon as you step inside, and it has everything you need. The information provided prior to our stay was comprehensive and allowed us to make the most of our 3 nights. There are some scenic walks right from the gate of the house, and we also enjoyed visiting Llangollen and walking to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. We would have loved to have stayed for longer and will definitely be back - highly recommended!

Our family has been in this beautiful area since the 1970's. It remains unspoiled and is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the tranquillity of the Welsh countryside. There are many exhilarating walks from the door, or within a short drive. The cottage stands in gardens away from any neighbours, with plenty of parking.
