About this property
Perched in a fantastic location overlooking the treetops, countryside and canal on the outskirts of Llangollen, Denbighshire is Westoe Hideaway. This well-thought out, studio-style apartment benefits from a tranquil location away from the bustle of the popular town yet is close to local amenities and a charming interior welcoming couples and their beloved canine companion for a fun-filled stay in North Wales. Descend the stone steps, while admiring the breath-taking view and head inside to find an inviting layout with kitchenette equipped with kitchen, toaster and microwave, a sofa looking out over the impressive views and a sumptuous double bed where you can catch your rest. In the morning, freshen up in the sleek shower room before stepping outside to savour your morning coffee in the brisk air with a truly memorable view. Venture into the heart of Llangollen to find local stores where you can stock up on essentials and homely pubs including The Three Eagles and The Corn Mill which are both idyllic places for date night! The town also houses a wonderful museum detailing the area's history and the famous Llangollen steam train; don’t miss the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a world heritage site spanning eleven miles and two countries. Immerse yourself in history at Plas Newydd House or the 13th-century ruins of Castell Dinas Bran or venture further afield to find Chirk Castle, the National Trust site of Erddig in Wrexham or lose yourself in the Roman history ingrained in the historic city of Chester. Experience the endless wonders of North Wales at Westoe Hideaway.
Llangollen is a picturesque tourist town that draws visitors from all over the world for its annual Musical Eisteddfod and its idyllic setting in the Vale of Llangollen, a valley surrounded by dramatic mountains and the River Dee, which is dotted with boulders. Take a ride on a steam train or a canal boat to see the green valley, or hike to the top of Castell Dinas Brân for a bird's-eye view of the town below. The town of Llangollen is home to a wide variety of eateries and retail establishments. Whitewater rafting on the River Dee, followed by a thrilling Mountain Bike ride in Llandegla, or a soothing afternoon at a local spa—no there's shortage of exciting things to do in this area! Chirk Castle and Erddig, both owned by the National Trust, are conveniently close by car, and six of the "Seven Wonders of Wales" can be seen along a single day's driving route. The famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a World Heritage Site, is only 5 miles away, and Snowdonia is within an hour's drive. The Offa's Dyke Path, which offers pleasant walking along the crest of the Clwyd hills, also passes through the area.

Canal path easily accessible in either direction. Although compact it had everything we needed and the addition of the air fryer was an extra bonus. We would definitely recommend and would consider coming back ourselves in a few years.

Although the trees are still in full bloom you can hear the train tooting from the balcony, see the steam and get an occasional glimpse of the engine. Access to the canal is a short walk away and it's not far to Llangollen or the other way to the Chain Bridge Hotel. There are lots of things to see and do in the immediate vicinity and beyond. The hosts Steve and Sue are friendly and very helpful without being intrusive and are a fount of knowledge about the area. I would recommend Westoe Hideaway to anyone wishing to visit Llangollen.

. Made to feel very welcome by owners Steve and Sue who were on hand if needed and made us feel at home straight away. Exceptionally clean and well presented accommodation , very comfy bed, superb shower and facilities and we felt very relaxed on arrival with everything we needed right there. Enclosed area for us and the dog to relax morning snd night to enjoy the views of the surrounding area and all 3 of us slept very well in the property after a few busy days out and about in Wales and Llangollen. Thank you to our hosts Steve and Sue for making the property available for guests to enjoy and we had a great few days. Some great walks to enjoy with the dog in the countryside or along the canal bank with both a short stroll from the property. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this property in Llangollen where there is something for everyone to enjoy.
