About this property

A welcoming country house, part of which dates from the 17th century, set in just under 2 acres of grounds, situated in the small village of Bronygarth above the beautiful Glyn Ceiriog Valley. With views to Chirk Castle, this homely Shropshire property boasts many original features including polished wooden floors, ornate ceilings and beautiful fireplaces. It provides spacious accommodation exuding a "home from home" feel which is ideal for a large family to get together in this unspoilt part of the country. With stunning views from the front, this large cottage near Oswestry boasts 10 unique bedrooms, six of which can accommodate a family of four. Four of the bedrooms boast en-suite facilities, plus there are an additional three family bathrooms, one of which features a corner Jacuzzi bath. The large farmhouse-style kitchen has wooden floors, ceiling beams and an oil-fired Rayburn, making it the perfect place to prepare a celebratory dinner for the whole family. The galleried reception/dining room with sash windows and woodburning stove seats 26 people and the main sitting room has an inglenook fireplace and a woodburning stove, ideal for relaxing in front of a family film. But that is not all! There is the added benefit of a library, a conservatory and a games room with a full-size snooker table. Spend some time over breakfast on the decked area as you plan the day's activities, which is where you will also find the soothing hot tub, where you can relax in the evening as you relive your fun-filled days. The extensive grounds surround the house and consist of mature gardens, lawns, seating and a large brick-built barbecue. This beautiful area of Shropshire offers many walks and cycle routes with Offa's Dyke Path running close by. The cottage boasts magnificent views of Chirk Castle, a 14th century fortress owned by the National Trust, which sits across the valley. The more energetic amongst your party can walk to the castle along the historic Offa's Dyke path. Just a short drive away is the popular tourist town of Llangollen with a steam railway, a variety of watersports and the stunning Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which is a World Heritage Site. With so much to see and do both at this wonderful cottage and in the surrounding area, a memory-filled holiday awaits!

The village of Bronygarth is situated in the Ceiriog Valley and lies on the Offa's Dyke Path. Just across the River Ceiriog is Chirk Castle with its gardens, medieval tower and dungeon.

    Very spacious perfect for big groups. The mattress's in the annex are so uncomfortable-we slept on the sofa on the 2nd and 3rd night. The heaters don't work in there either which we reported. We had a water issue no warm water for more than 12 hrs. We was told its because there is a lot of people at the property and the boiler takes longer to warm the water. Some of us had to have a shower in cold water after using the pool and hot tub. It's not ideal and really need to update the boiler system. You cannot expect people to wait 12 hrs for warm water. Also two bathrooms were broken and we had to get someone in to have a look at it. You don't expect these issues when you pay alot of money. I felt like Simon didn't really care. We got a £250 refund at the end. I wish I could recommend this property and even come back but I wouldn't as the house really needs TLC and money spent on it to maintain it. It's a real shame to be honest. My only advise would be to READ ALL THE OTHER reviews prior to booking as I didn't and wish I did first!!
