Sitting in an elevated position paces away from the centre of Llangollen in Denbighshire is Bodwen Villas, a characterful end-of-terrace holiday home. Family-friendly, pet-friendly and close to local amenities, this charming, three-storey home is an ideal escape for exploring the delights of North Wales and the Clwydian Range AONB. On arrival at the cottage, an allocated parking space makes unloading your bags an easy job; step into the hallway with its quarry-tile floor and original coving and begin your break. From here, find a sitting room where you can kick back and relax after a day of exploring, and a dining room where you can catch up about your day over a tasty dinner. Moving through the property, the kitchen boasts everything you need for the chef of your group to cook up a storm, and further along, a utility for bike storage and freshening up your clothes comes in handy. Completing the ground floor is an inviting snug with a TV for when you need a moment of relaxation. Climb up to the first floor, where three of the five bedrooms lie, along with a shower room; a king-size and a double, each with an en-suite, and a single, allow for a flexible sleeping arrangement for your group. Up the stairs again to the second floor, another single and a king-size complete the interior. Outside, savour the area with a cup of coffee in the courtyard before setting off about your day. Your adventure starts from the doorstep, with the River Dee running through the town, known for its white water rafting, the iconic Llangollen railway station, and a selection of lovely pubs and eateries to enjoy. From here, explore the Clwydian Range AONB with a hike up Castell Dinas Bran and further into Conwen and Ruthin. Heading in the other direction towards Wrecsam (Wrexham), the Pontcysyllte aqueduct is en-route, with the delightful Ty Mawr Country Park within easy reach. With the historic city of Chester, Cheshire Oaks retail park and plenty of charming villages and towns to explore further afield, there is something for everyone. Make memories that will last a lifetime at Bodwen Villas.

The beautiful Vale of Llangollen, with its dramatic mountain backdrop and boulder-strewn River Dee is the setting for this pretty tourist town, internationally famous for its Musical Eisteddfod. Explore the green valley by steam train or canal boat, or take an exhilarating walk up to Castell Dinas Brân, high above the town, in order to enjoy the breathtaking view. Llangollen offers a good range of pubs and restaurants, as well as many interesting shops. Keep entertained with an exhilarating trip whitewater rafting down the River Dee, followed by an adventurous Mountain Bike ride in Llandegla, or for a more leisurely experience, unwind with a relaxing afternoon in one of the local spas! The National Trust properties of Chirk Castle and Erddig are within easy driving distance, while a day-long car trail can take you to visit six of the ‘Seven Wonders of Wales’. Offa’s Dyke Path passes nearby and boasts pleasant walking along the crest of the Clwyd hills, plus the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a World Heritage Site, is 5 miles away, and Snowdonia is less than an hour’s drive.
