Location
This lovely 18th Century property is a stone built cottage occupying a quiet position in the pretty village of Gwaenysgor, just two miles of Prestatyn. This semi-detached property has been well furnished and tastefully decorated to incorporate the exposed stone walls and beams of the original building. The beautifully established garden is ideal for dining out doors or relaxing with an evening drink. The property is able to sleep four people and offers easy access to many lovely walking and cycling trails, wide sandy beaches, and fascinating towns including Prestatyn and the Victorian resort of Llandudno.
Set on the side of a hill in the quiet North Wales countryside, the tiny village of Gwaenysgor is situated within the Clwydian Hill Range, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The summit is a mere quarter of a mile away and provides a wonderful panoramic view over the countryside and coast. With a very good pub, the village is well placed for joining the Offa's Dyke National Trail, which lies within a few minutes walk. The beaches at Prestatyn offer a safe spot for family fun on the sand as well as those looking for a place to try various water sports. There are also a number of lovely walks through the pretty countryside as well as four excellent golf courses, a leisure centre, the Mountain Zoo at Colwyn Bay and the Victorian resort of Llandudno – all waiting to be explored.
Famous for its choirs, stunning mountain ranges and beautiful valleys, this wonderful country has something for everyone. From Snowdonia in North Wales to the Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire Coast in the South.

"We stayed at this beautiful cottage for a week this April. We were met on arrival by Sue, who was very welcoming, pointing out areas of interest. The cottage itself was lovely, well presented and clean, everything we needed was there, a real home from home. My favourite room was the conservatory, enjoying breakfast whilst watching the birds.....fab. We would highly recommend this cottage, we will certainly try to stay there again when travelling to this area."

"Spent week staying in cottage and visiting family over Christmas. A lovely, clean, quiet cottage in a beautiful and ancient North Walian village. Fantastic walks and views on your doorstep. Great pub grub 50m away. Well appointed cottage with modern tasteful decor. Marks and Spencer food hall 15 minutes drive. It is a traditionally built 18th Century limestone cottage and despite very thick walls, double glazing and modern radiators it was at times a little slow to warm up. So bring slippers and dressing gowns in winter."

"The owner was so helpful and welcoming when we first arrived. The house was clean and well kept. We had everything we needed for our stay. The conservatory at the rear was a real bonus space. The kids loved the cottage and didn't want to go home at the end of the week. There is however a steep staircase that may not be ideal for people with mobility problems or families with very young children; but our 4 year old coped very well. The location was ideal. There is a quiet pub opposite that serves fantastic down to earth food at a great price. You can leave the front door of the cottage and do a wonderful circular route across the fields that gives you an amazing view of Prestatyn and the coast. It is also well placed to explore everything that this part of Wales has to offer. I didn't realise that there was so much to do! We would love to go back."
