This huge historic property in pretty northeast Wales is ideal for a scenic rural trip in a large group. It’s located on a working farm and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so expect incredible views and excellent walking opportunities all around. Enjoy the golden sands of Rhyl (3 miles) or pull your walking boots on for a trek along the Wales Coast path. And when you’re ready for some rest and repose, your detached stone property awaits. With room for 10 over five bedrooms, this quintessentially Welsh home is ideal for a large family group or a reunion among old friends.
Expect plenty of homely rustic features in this 16th-century farmhouse, such as raw brick walls, lovely oak beams and deep-set windows. The traditional Welsh children, with a butler sink and old baking oven, is perhaps the focal point of the property. Prepare pots of deliciousness on the oil-run Aga and indulge in leisurely wine-fuelled meals at the large dining table. After dinner, your group can relax in one of two lounges, both with impressive fireplaces and interesting artefacts. Children will love spending time together in the playroom, filled with toys, beanbags and games. There’s also an outdoor games room with table tennis and table football. The huge garden will be ideal if it’s warm – it’s got well-kept plants, furniture and even a small stream at the bottom.
You’ll be 2.5 miles from Henllan, a village with a shop, a Post Office and a pub, and 4 miles from the historic market town of Denbigh. Walking opportunities abound nearby, with the famous Offa’s Dyke Path 15 miles away – or why not try out some water sports at Rhyl Marina 12 miles away? Rhuthun (12 miles) is another market town you may choose to visit during your stay.
