Our cottage is over 200 years old and retains some of the original features (exposed beams, quarry tiled flooring, low doorways). A careful modernisation has helped retain the special traditional Welsh cottage character with modern accommodation standards.Although the cottage has that "away from it all" feel, just 5 minutes' walk away is a farm shop and a highly-rated country bistro. The countryside is spectacular with some of the best walking in the United Kingdom, right from the doorstep. Llangollen is famous for a wide variety of outdoor sports and the Welsh coast is just one hour's drive away to the North or to the West. The city of Liverpool is one and a half hour's drive away and is well worth a day trip.
