Denbigh Farmhouse, Denbigh

Snowdonia. Sleeps up to 8

This characterful farmhouse oozes rustic charm, making a magical holiday retreat for up to eight guests in the ethereal beauty of North Wales.  Set within two acres of rolling countryside, Denbigh Farmhouse sits in the River Clwyd valley, close to the waterfalls of Clocaenog Forest with a backdrop of the Clywdian Mountains, the definition of a beauty spot.

This rural getaway is delightfully refurbished with wood beamed ceiling, stone walls and feature woodburner fireplace found in both ground floor living rooms.  The larger of the two lounges benefits from dual patio doors providing a perfect spot to gaze out at the view with a cup of tea, or throw the doors open to let the outside in.  A spacious kitchen has everything you will need to provide hearty farmhouse meals and enjoy them together at the eight-seater dining table.  

Heading upstairs the farmhouse charm continues with a range of thoughtfully designed bedrooms with stone walls, wooden floors, wrought iron beds and period features.  A master double bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and sliding doors that lead to a pretty balcony with extra seating and views out to the sea, a magical place to enjoy your morning coffee.  An additional double bedroom has an en-suite room, then two further twin rooms, with stunning views complete the sleeping accommodation.  A shared bathroom with luxurious roll top bath adds to the luxury and charm of the property.

Step outside to the exceptional enclosed garden that offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape to be enjoyed at every angle.  While younger members of the family are occupied with the children’s play area and table tennis table, why not take an opportunity to sink into the bubbles of the large hot tub with a glass of fizz, the best spot in the house to relax and enjoy the views.

Set in the charming hamlet of Cefn Berain, this wonderful farmhouse offers a safe haven to both relax and entertain, whilst being close to some of the most breath-taking scenery and landscapes North Wales has to offer.  A true holiday to remember.

Set within an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Denbigh Farmhouse has enviable views of the surrounding mountains and valleys whilst being close by to a number of tourist spots and activities to keep everyone busy.  A short drive will take you to Denbigh where a trip to the scenic lake of Llyn Brenig is a must.  Grab a bike and explore the beautiful surrounding area on trails suited to all abilities, or if you fancy your hand at fishing the reservoir offer pike fishing (from 1st November each year). Stop off for lunch at the Lakeside Café.

While in Denbigh a trip to the medieval fortress of Denbigh Castle offers a dramatic delve into history.  With a drawbridge and triple-towered gatehouse this castle is perched atop the Vale of Clwyd and played a vital role in the wars that shaped Wales.  There is an on-site exhibition, gift shop and light refreshments available to complete your trip.

Keen golfers will want to try a round at the local Denbigh Golf Club, with 18 holes available and a Pay and Play policy for non-members.  Walk the lush green course and take in the scenic landscape along the way.   If you are looking for further light exercise a visit to the beautiful Clocaenog Forest is highly recommended, a striking conifer forest with a range of easy trails suitable for all ages, with plenty of opportunity for wildlife spotting.  Pack a picnic and enjoy by the lake.

For a day at the beach take a drive to the tourist coastal town of Rhyl (17 miles drive) to build sandcastles on this blue flag sandy beach, whilst a little further afield you will find Wales’s largest seaside resort, the Llandudno Beaches with a range of entertainment and leisure facilities available. The West Shore beach offers stunning sunsets and a more peaceful environment to the bustling North Shore beach and faces Conwy Bay that at low tide offers a great opportunity for kite-flyers and kite-surfers to hit the shore.

Explore the mountain landscape with a visit to the alpine-esque Betws-y-Coed, known as the gateway to Snowdonia.  Adventurous types could take a guided tour to the spectacular underground slate mine where abseiling, climbing and zip-lining can be enjoyed.  For a more relaxing day stroll amongst the independent craft shops or breathe in the fresh air with a walk through the Gwydr Forest surrounding the village.
