Islwyn Llandyrnog, Islwyn Llandyrnog, Denbigh

If you can tear yourself away from the heated indoor swimming pool, games barn and fabulous views from almost every window of this sublime family getaway, the delights of Snowdonia National Park and the Clwydian Range await to be explored. If you need a moment’s peace after a busy day, follow the underfloor heating into the snug or if you’ve still got plenty of energy left, the mountain views and roaring electric fire in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner create the ultimate social space to make unforgettable memories. Rustle up a locally sourced feast to be enjoyed seated around the dining table before hunkering down on the comfy sofas for the ultimate film night in front of the Smart TV. You’ll find an en-suite double bedroom on the ground floor, plus an en-suite super-king-size with a glass balcony, en-suite double, a twin zip-and-link (which be made as a super-king-size) and bunk bedroom upstairs to choose from for a peaceful rest. Let off some steam in the games barn, take a dip in the heated indoor swimming pool or head into the enclosed garden to roast marshmallows over the fire pit. Lying in the valley of the River Clwyd on the edge of the Berwyn Mountains, the village of Llandyrnog and the surrounding area is a playground for outdoor activities. Soak up the area’s history by exploring the ancient market towns of Denbigh (5 miles) or Ruthin (7 miles) to peruse the array of local shops and cafes. Walk or cycle the Sea Front Trail 13.5 miles away, taking you out of Ruthin into Rhyl (15 miles) and following the coastal route to Prestatyn (13 miles) and Rhuddlan (12 miles). Try a spot of coarse fishing at Bathafarm Hall 7.5 miles away, located in a peaceful setting with views towards the Clwydian hills.
