About this property

Found on one of the oldest streets of Llangollen and built in the late 17th century, this wonderfully-appointed detached property retains many of its original features, and has been tastefully renovated to reflect 21st century comforts, making it ideal for families seeking a tranquil getaway to a typical Welsh town boasting bags of character and charm.

    We stayed at No. 9 for around two weeks with a toddler, and the space worked extremely well for our needs. Lovely views of the river, nice and quiet, and very comfortable! We found the kitchen in particular very well stocked with pots pans, etc. We were very easily able to cook for ourselves while juggling a toddler!
