    The owners, who live in the attached house, were very friendly and helpful giving us tips on dog friendly walks and offering us produce from their garden. We had a lovely week and are looking forward to going back again.

    Denbighshire is a super area which is off the usual tourist trail. And I can’t think of anywhere we’d rather stay. Thank you Jane and Jim our welcoming hosts.
