About this property
A stylish, contemporary, farmhouse, next to the owner's home, on their smallholding, on the outskirts of Llannefydd village, in an elevated location above the Dolwen Reservoir, on the Denbighshire/Conwy border. This detached, delightful cottage offers quality accommodation and breathtaking views as soon as you enter into the double height, summer room, which soaks up the country views across the valley. Opening into a modern kitchen with a breakfast area, you will find everything you need to enjoy a sociable meal with friends and family whilst taking in the undisturbed panoramic views. A second reception room provides a cosy area to sit and read or watch TV.
The addition of a ground floor bedroom, enjoying the use of a wet room next door, making it suitable for the less able guest, if required. Upstairs you will find two king-size bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, the other a Juliet balcony, and a triple bedroom, again ideal for children, all enjoying some of the best views available in North Wales. The half-mile track to the farmhouse, though un-adopted, is in good condition and level and worth the walk back into the village to enjoy the hospitality at the 17th century coaching inn and restaurant, perhaps after a walk down to the reservoir to enjoy a spot of fishing first.
If that doesnt give you enough to do, then a ½ acre meadow outside the cottage provides all the space children may need to play Frisbee or perhaps fly a kite. The popular seaside town of Abergele is a short drive away and opens up to miles of sandy beaches and coastal walks along the Welsh coastline. Alternatively, visit the market town of Denbigh or the newly-appointed city of St Asaph, both just 15 minutes drive away. The area is renowned for its stunning scenery and country walks, and will have you returning to this luxury cottage time and time again.
Only 7 miles from the lovely North Wales coast lies the rural village of Llannefydd, located between the historic town of St Asaph, with its impressive cathedral, Rhuddlan with its majestic castle, and Abergele with its fabulous sandy beaches.

Well equipped and clean. The owner, Charles, was very helpful with any questions we had. The play barn and pigs kept the kids entertained during our stay. This was our second stay here and we look forward to staying here again!

The location was nice and quiet, and despite the rainy week it was lovely to sit and admire the views and watch the birds in an evening. Also great for exploring north Wales as its only a short drive to the A55 (though we recommend following the owners instructions and not the sat-nav!). The cottage was lovely and warm, clean, and the beds were really comfy. We were also really impressed that one of the bedrooms is on the ground floor, with a step free bathroom and shower - perfect if you have anyone a little unsteasy in their feet who would struggle with stairs. Would definitely recommend a visit, thank you for a lovely stay.
