Wake up to peaceful countryside views that stretch as far as the eye can see from this handsome wood-panelled lodge for four. Located 2 miles from the border village of Overton-on-Dee, the property is ideally placed for exploring the heather-clad hills and historic landmarks of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley. When you’re not out and about, you’ll want to spend as much time as possible in the private outdoor space and make full use of the impressive shared facilities. These include a swimming pool, wood-fired sauna, tennis court, croquet lawn and table tennis.
The single-storey lodge has been thoughtfully designed to maximise space while giving you private corners to relax in comfort. In the main living area, cook up delicious Welsh breakfasts with produce picked up from the village bakery and butcher, or get cosy next to the wood burner to watch TV or a favourite DVD. The two bedrooms can be arranged as super-kings or twins to suit your group, and a shower room allows you to freshen up whenever you like. Outside, enjoy lazy afternoons in the hammock, fire up the BBQ for al fresco feasts on the decked area or gather in the fire pit area for late-night stargazing.
Being situated between Ellesmere (4 miles) and Wrexham (8.5 miles) means you don’t have to go far to find superb shops, cafes and restaurants. Ellesmere is also known for its glacial mere, where you can hire rowing boats or canoes, follow a sculpture trail and grab a bite to eat at the lakeside cafe. If it’s long hikes in wide open spaces you’re after, the landscapes around Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (9 miles) and Ruabon Mountain (14 miles) reveal the area’s industrial heritage and offer photo-worthy views.
