Llangollen 3.1 miles. Bryn Howell Stables is a gorgeous, detached barn conversion near Llangollen Canal in Trevor, Wrexham. This pet-friendly property boasts a woodburning stove, enclosed garden, and off-road parking for two cars, making it well-suited to families or groups of friends on a peaceful, rural retreat in the luscious North Wales countryside. This 19th century property has been lovingly renovated to create cosy, comfortable accommodation whilst sympathetically retaining the original wooden beams to bring a touch of charm. A country cottage-style kitchen/diner comes fully equipped with all that you will need to cook and enjoy those deliciously hearty meals. Toss your plates to the dishwasher and relax in the sitting room, toasting your well-trekked toes by a woodburning stove with a film on the TV. Three bedrooms rest on the first floor of Bryn Howell Stables; a king-size with an en-suite shower room, twin (zip/link, can be king-size on request), and twin - each wrapped in luxury bed linen - making the perfect sleeping arrangements for a family getaway. To add to your comfort, every room boasts a stunning view of Dinas Bran. A fresh, neutrally coloured family bathroom concludes the accommodation with charm - choose to rinse off the day in a walk-in shower or soak and sink into the evening in a luscious bath. Enjoy dining alfresco in the enclosed garden which offers beautiful views over the countryside and the Castell Dinas Bran ruin. Store your bikes in the secure bike storage after a scenic cycle through the roaring hills and past National Trust properties, waiting to be explored from your doorstep. Llangollen itself is a fabulous town with plenty of quality amenities to make the most of, as well as popular attractions such as its museum and railway station both offering memorable days out. Enjoy day trips to Snowdonia, historic Chester, or Lakes Bala and Vyrnwy with ease from this splendid countryside cottage.

Set on the boulder-strewn River Dee and with a wonderful mountainous backdrop, the pretty town of Llangollen offers a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, and is home to the internationally famous musical Eisteddfod, held annually. There is so much to do - take a horse-drawn boat trip down the canal, or tackle the walking or cycling routes up the Castell Dinas Bran, then enjoy the view from the top. For a more sedate day trip, head to the National Trust properties of Chirk Castle or Erddig.
