A little further afield is Llandegla Forest with its mountain bike centre and more great walks, whilst the historic city of Chester with its famous city walls, cathedral and unique shops in the Rows is well worth a visit. In the other direction, Betws-y-Coed, the ’Gateway to the Snowdonia National Park’, offers more outdoor clothing shops than you can shake a stick at, and the amazing Zip World Fforest where you can get your adrenaline rush on the Fforest Coaster or experience the Powerfan Plummet!

We had a lovely stay at Ysgubor. The cottage is situated in a beautiful countryside setting with only 2 other houses near. It has amazing views and is so peaceful and private. The house was fully equipped with everything we'd need and they left a thoughtful welcome hamper with local produce. As its in the country do expect a lot of spiders, flys etc. The house was full of cobwebs and various creatures alive and dead but that would be our only criticism.There was an issue with the hot tub and play station but the owners responded promptly and were very helpful. Overall a lovely relaxing stay in a great location with not far to travel to see some great sights that Wales and England has to offer. We would definitely book again and recommend to others.

We loved staying at this cottage and hope to stay again in the near future. We wanted a place that felt like home and this cottage gave us exactly that.The welcome gifts were a really thoughtful idea and the cottage had everything we needed and more!!The location is excellent for visiting the beautiful sights in North Wales but also a reasonable drive to Chester Zoo and Liverpool (both great days out).The owners were really helpful and thoughtful, whilst also leaving us to enjoy our holiday.
