About this property
This charming home sits in an elevated position right on the canal in the little village of Froncysyllte near Llangollen, Clwyd. Affording glorious views of the Vale of Llangollen, and with a fantastic view of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Heritage Site, Nantclwyd is a heart-warming escape for families and friends in any season. You approach the cottage along a steep track leading to the off-road parking space, before stepping into the entrance hall and getting to know your new home from home. The house chef can get acquainted in the kitchen, hosting a range of appliances to assist with home-cooking, whilst the rest of the group sets the dining table with crockery and cutlery. After a filling feast, grab a favourite beverage and sit in the sunroom, complete with fairy lights that offer a calming ambiance at night, whilst the lounge is ideal should you fancy a TV catchup. French doors open out onto the terraced garden, offering elevated views and a charming furniture set at the bottom level. As you look to settle down for the night, there are three bedrooms to choose from, including two doubles and a twin, each well-presented and a contemporary bathroom, with both bath and walk-in shower. Situated in Trevor Basin, either walk along the canal, cycle (cyclists must dismount on the aqueduct), go by canoe or drive to The Telford pub, affording spectacular views of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Heritage Site, where you can enjoy hearty meals and a refreshing pint, with 20% discount on all food and drink throughout the duration of your stay. For an afternoon out, head to Tŷ Mawr Country Park and follow a network of walking trails that lead alongside the glistening waters of the River Dee, or come face-to-face with quaint farm animals, including free range chickens and a pair of llamas. Be sure to visit the nearby town of Llangollen, accessible via car, canal or tow path, where you can journey through the rolling countryside of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley of Outstanding Natural Beauty aboard a heritage train from Llangollen Railway Station. On your doorstep, you'll find the perfect setting for nature-filled dog walks, bird watching, cycling and canoeing, with the chance to truly explore Clwyd. However you choose to spend your time, a break at Nantclwyd has lots to look forward to.
This charming tourist destination, which is well-known around the world for its Musical Eisteddfod, is in the stunning Vale of Llangollen, amidst majestic mountain scenery and the boulder-strewn River Dee. Take a thrilling trek up to Castell Dinas Brân, high above the town, to take in the stunning vista, or explore the verdant valley by steam train or canal boat. A wide variety of pubs, restaurants, and unique stores are available in Llangollen. Whitewater rafting down the River Dee, followed by an adrenaline mountain bike ride through Llandegla, or, for a more leisurely experience, unwind with a tranquil afternoon at a nearby spa will keep you entertained! Chirk Castle and Erddig, both owned by the National Trust, are accessible by automobile, and a day-long driving route can take you to six of Wales' "Seven Wonders." The famed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a World Heritage Site, is 5 miles distant, and Snowdonia is within a one-hour drive. Offa's Dyke Path also passes close by and offers lovely trekking along the crest of the Clwyd hills.

House was spotlessly clean. Owners were very welcoming and regularly made sure we were ok. Bedrooms very spacious apart from the single bed room it could do with under bed storage or something so to unpack your clothes. Canât wait to go in the summer when you can take full advantage of the whole garden. Would definitely recommend this to everyone.

It sits overlooking the canal with tow paths in both directions. When you open the curtains in the morning there is a wonderful view across the valley with distant glimses of the aqueduct to the left and viaduct on the right. The house is homely and comfortable and well equipped. The decor is lovely and shower room excellent. We needed an extension lead and Sarah was very happy to help us. We did struggle a little with tight turning circle at the parking area, but it was worth it for the location.

It was very clean, well equipped and had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting in the back garden and enjoying the views of the canal and it was easy to get to the towpath for walking. It was easy to visit this beautiful area by road too. Our host, Sarah, was most welcoming, friendly and helpful. Thank you
