Beehive Cottage is located in the Denbighshire village of Bodfari, which is within the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ideal for walkers, you can access the Clwydian Way directly from the property grounds, and Offa’s Dyke footpath is just a quarter of a mile away. Beehive Cottage is also in an Area of Archaeological Interest, with the ancient hill fort Moel Caer being close by. The medieval market town of Denbigh with its castle is just five miles away. Here you will find walking tours which take you around the town and castle. This is also a great place to stock up on the essentials. Other market towns worth visiting include Ruthin, 11 miles and Mold, 12 miles. Bodfari, where the cottage is located has a lovely art gallery you can visit, and within half a mile is a good pub serving food.
Whilst Beehive Cottage enjoys the idyllic rural location with 360° views of open countryside and rolling hills, the coast is also very accessible, and the beaches of Rhyl, Prestatyn and Talacre can all be reached within a short drive. Other places of interest within a short drive include St Winefride’s Well, nine miles, Llangollen, 28 miles, the Victorian seaside town of Llandudno and the Great Orme, 26 miles. National Trust’s Bodnant Garden, 25 miles, and Erdigg, 28 miles, are also worth a visit. Snowdonia is accessible from here and can be reached in around 45 minutes via the scenic Denbigh Moors. On the other side of the border, you can easily visit the historic cities of Chester and Liverpool. For overseas visitors, Manchester airport is just 45 minutes drive away. For evening entertainment, apart from pubs and restaurants there is Theatre Clwyd in Mold, Llandudno Theatre and Rhyl Pavillion.
Apart from being ideal for walkers, the area is fantastic for cycling. Golfers wont be disappointed either with two courses in Denbigh, and three others within a short distance.
Beehive Cottage was named after the owners’ love of bees and who are beekeepers themselves, but the property was originally named The Sanctuary, which says it all.

This is a wonderful peaceful place to stay. The cottage is very clean, the kitchen area is stocked with everything you could want. The bathroom is lovely with a deep bath and excellent shower. The main living room is spacious with wide patio doors so you can take in the fantastic views and the sunsets are stunning. There is a huge Sycamore Tree which adds majesty to The view. The bedroom also has patio doors so you can open and step out to a garden area with sturdy wooden garden swing seat, table and benches to sit and eat and take in the views. The bed is amazing. I slept so well while we were there and there is loads of space to store clothes. There are quite a few chairs and benches all around the cottage so you are spoilt for choice.The wildlife is mesmerising. Bird feeders constantly full of birds and ravens and buzzards flying overhead. The hosts are very welcoming, helpful and kind. I cannot fully describe how wonderful Beehive Cottage is to stay at other than it you want a totally peaceful tranquil place to stay this is it. We've already booked to go back next year.

Lovely cottage in a quiet location with gorgeous views across to Denbigh Castle and Snowdonia (on a clear day).The owner Kim is very friendly and helpful and the cottage is clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a few days away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Highly recommended for a peaceful stay.

This cottage is beautifully situated in a quiet location on a hillside overlooking the valley. It is modern, exceptionally clean and comfortable, with friendly and welcoming hosts. There is one pub in walking distance along footpaths, but otherwise you will need a car to get to shops, restaurants and attractions.
