About this property

Perched in the quaint village of Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr near Cerrigydrudion in North Wales, is this superb, four-bedroom, 18th-century cottage, Neuadd Wen. Enjoying a fantastic location situated between Ruthin and Cerrigydrudion, easy access to the Snowdonia National Park, and an interior adorned with period furniture and original features, including exposed stonework, beams and bedrooms resting in separate wings, Neuadd Wen makes for a unique pet-friendly dwelling for a group or family of eight, plus their canine companion, who are embarking on their next North Wales adventure. Step into the property, where you will find an entrance hall to discard any coats and shoes after your journey, as well as a contemporary shower room where you can enjoy a refreshing rinse after a day of exploring. Be welcomed into the traditional sitting room, where you can kick-back and relax on the plush sofa whilst enjoying your favourite show on the TV, as the open fire crackles nearby. When it’s time for dinner, head through to the amply-equipped kitchen to whip up a delicious feast for your guests, utilising the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and a handy dishwasher for those fuss-free clean-ups! Settle down in the dining room to savour a hearty meal over a bottle of wine in the warmth of the woodburning stove, or if the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco in the private garden where your four-legged friend can stretch their legs? On cooler evenings, serve evening drinks in the conservatory where you can make plans for the days ahead whilst still enjoying the fabulous country views. When sleep calls, you will find a well-appointed double bedroom on the ground floor, a double on the first floor in the first wing and an additional double bedroom and an adult bunk room, served by a stylish bathroom in the second wing. Explore your local surroundings, where you will find the welcoming, Grade II listed Crown Inn nearby, idyllically located next to the river Alwen and serving tasty home-cooked meals and local ales, perfect for when you fancy a night off from the kitchen! Just a short drive away is the village of Cerrigydrudion, where you will find a well-stocked shop with a Post Office, ideal for stocking up on any essentials or ingredients to recreate your favourite holiday dishes in the comfort of Neuadd Wen. For those in your party seeking adventure, the Mynydd Sleddog Adventures facility is nearby and specialises in husky rides and sled dog experiences, as well as superb walking and cycling opportunities available within the surrounding countryside. Continue onto Bala, home to the expansive Llyn-Tegid, where you can take to the waters by paddleboard, kayak or boat, explore the lakeside museum of Byd Mary Jones World, or hop aboard a train at the Bala Lake Railway station offering rides with fantastic lake views. Venture further into the Snowdonia National Park, where you will find the picturesque village of Betws-y-Coed; peruse the delightful independent shops, dine with views of the River Conwy and Afon Llugwy, embark on a scenic hike to Swallow Falls, wander exhibits at the Conwy Valley Railway Museum or enjoy a game of golf or two at the excellent 9-hole golf course. Thrill seekers will not want to miss out on the Zip World Forest, where you can see the sights at speed on the woodland wooden roller coaster or at great heights on a zip wire or tree top walk. For a getaway with something for everyone, look no further than Neuadd Wen.

    The owner has kept just the right balance of old and new throughout the property, so it is easy to find yourself transported back in time whilst still enjoying all the necessary modern amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the neighbours who are “deadly quiet” and thankfully kept to themselves. It added adventure and excitement as we imagined their histories and how many of them may have once lived in the house. We enjoyed candlelit evenings listening to the owners CD collection and playing Perudo and Linkee from the board game selection. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. Thank you Jill xx

  • Alison

    We were a party of five adults and dog so the large bedrooms were very much appreciated. Loved the shabby chic interiors and functional bathrooms. Only thing we struggled with was living room sofa was too low for our creaky joints. Owner kept us informed of arrival details and we knew she was there should sometime up - it didn't!. Son and daughter made good use of the Crown Inn too. Definitely would recommend this property

  • Barbara

    Very clean and welcoming! Beds were so comfy and the cottage was ideal for a short break. The pub was a very short walk away and they were very friendly. Our host Jill was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
