About this property
Just off the Denbigh Moors with Denbigh 4 miles away. Nestled down a quiet country lane, wrapped in sweeping green fields and rolling pastures of the idyllic North Wales countryside, is this traditional, detached and totally private cottage, tucked away near the thriving town of Denbigh. This charming 1824 stone-built cottage is simply perfect for those seeking a healthy break away with family and friends in a peaceful, rural location. There are gorgeous views across the hills, and a beautiful interior oozing character with a modernised finish.You will be delighted by the cosy setup from the moment you step through the door. Inside, guests will find two wonderful sitting rooms, one positioned on the first floor with access to a balcony, and one on the ground floor with a delightful woodburner in the Inglenook. Both sitting rooms are uplifted by large L-shaped sofas and bright refreshing colour schemes. A country cottage theme flows elegantly throughout. Make your way to the kitchen, designed for guests to gather together at the grand dining table to enjoy a fabulous set of integrated appliances and contemporary-style units. You will be impressed at the selection of flexible sleeping arrangements laid out in the five bedrooms. One is upstairs, four are downstairs, one being en-suite, served by a wonderfully modern bathroom with a tub, a large shower and quality, tiled finish. The town nearby offers a varied assortment of shops, bars, restaurants and pubs.The local is one of the oldest pubs in Wales, featuring its own in-house ghost, while the highest pub in Wales is also very close on the moors.In the town there are also the fascinating remains of a 13th century castle, commanding fabulous views out over picturesque landscapes including the Hiraethog mountains. If you fancy a day out at the seaside, Prestatyn and Llandudno are within easy reach.

fourth best region in the whole world to visit

The lane up to it was a bit of a shock, but once we were in, it was so lovely and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our weekend away. Our children and grandchildren loved playing the boad games, too. The communication with the owner prior to the weekend was really helpful. Oh, and the hamper and card were a lovely surprise. Thank you so much i would definitely recommend.

There is loads of room in the property - plenty of room in the bedrooms and the two separate lounges are an advantage, particularly whwn watching TV. We also used cot & highchair. Large dining space adjoining the kitchen area is great and the kitchen is well appointed. Also modern washer & drier for laundry. One suggestion would be to also have a couple of airers for internal use if weather inclement. Great views from the property and you can say hello to neighbouring cows & sheep (and also the farmer!). Very good communication from the owner before & throughout our stay.

They have thought if everything (and more) the beds, the bedding, linen and towels were all just beautiful. The kitchen had everything and more you could think of and need....and I need that kitchen and stove!!! The fact the table was laid and dressed as in the photos really lovely and the basket of goodies very, very much appreciated. The beds and the sofas were just so comfortable and both the lounges were used by both young and old ...those views! The large kitchen was not only an eating space but we played games on and around the huge table and the highchair provided was perfect to contain our toddler. The garden was an exceptional space for the whole family and dog to enjoy with the added bonus of the outdoor ping pong, football table and our newly acquired family members ...the very pretty and friendly cows. The parking was more than ample for our 3 vehicles. Our family of 11 and a dog had the most amazing time and would highly recommend Garth Cottage !
