Description from owner

Description

As well as the usual traveller, our property would be ideal for a midweek business traveller or someone working in one of the many enterprises in our area. Also a great place for couples, solo adventurers, friends or families.

The property is self-contained and you have your own key to come and go as you please, so there are no strict rules, just an expectation that you treat the place with respect.

Wrexham

The Neighbourhood

This is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and we are surrounded by sheep and dairy farms and local pubs and restaurants. Wrexham is a busy market town. It is the gateway to North Wales and all that has to offer. You can be in Chester in 20 minutes. There are also good train and bus services from Wrexham. The mountains are nearby and there are lots of outdoor activities on the doorstep. Wrexham boasts one of the finest stately homes. Erddig Hall is three miles from our home and is a beautiful hall with extensive gardens and woodlands. The world heritage site at Pontcysyllte Aquaduct is in our doorstep. Chirk castle is 10 minutes drive away and so is Llangollen, home to the International Eeisteddfod and Offas Dyke.

Wales has some of the most beautiful beaches, Castles, Walks, Canoeing, Zip wire,. This is perfect if you love hill walking and a sense of isolation and adventure. If you like theatres we have Theatre Clwyd, Theatre Severn at Shrewsbury and also the theatres at Liverpool and Manchester. There is also bird watching, fishing and a mountain bike centre at Llandegla. We can also provide secure storage for bicycles.

Beautiful walking area with the Sandstone Trail, Llangollen, North Wales with its wonderful coastal path and even the Peak District all within 2 hours. We are situated close to Chester and Llangollen. Close to mountains and coast, The accommodation is on the first floor over some stables with stunning views across Cheshire & Shropshire, and at one time you could see 7 counties from the balcony. Perfect for peace and tranquillity, ideal for walkers as there are wonderful walks and hikes straight from the doorstep. This is exactly the right base for day trips in Wales. Snowdonia, the Coast, Anglesey, Holyhead all are easily within reach.

The location is a quiet village, but only 3 miles from the town of Wrexham, close to the villages of Minera, Coedpoeth & Bersham which have local pubs serving food and real ales.
