About this property

No.9 On The Riverbank is surrounded by majestic mountain scenery and overlooks the River Dee in the bustling town of Llangollen, Denbighshire. Found on one of the oldest streets of Llangollen and built in the late 17th century, this wonderfully-appointed detached property retains many of its original features, and has been tastefully renovated to reflect 21st century comforts, making it ideal for families seeking a tranquil getaway to a typical Welsh town boasting bags of character and charm. Enter into the hub of the home, the sociable open-plan, wood-beamed living room with woodburning stove, where a couple of hours during a relaxing evening in can be spent. Covering all the necessities is the kitchen area, where you will find quality appliances inviting you in to rustle up a tasty treat, as well as a dishwasher ensuring that you do not have to lift a finger for the duration of the holiday. Joining the kitchen is the dining area where you and your loved ones can settle down for an evening meal before sinking into the sofa and choosing a DVD to enjoy from the selection awaiting your arrival. Concluding the ground floor is the utility room boasting a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

Immerse yourself in your surroundings by taking a stroll into the centre of Llangollen, where you will be spoilt for choice by the cafés, pubs, restaurants, and independent shops that await you. Head to the Corn Mill pub for a delicious meal whilst sat on their decked area which overlooks the fast-flowing river or pick up some delicious fish and chips and walk along the canal where you can catch a glimpse of the horse-drawn boat. For the more energetic, try your hand at one of the watersports available on the river or enjoy a scenic walk up to Castell Dinas Brân which overlooks the town. Within the surrounding area you can choose to walk the dramatic Offa's Dyke path or brush up on the local history by discovering the nearby National Trust properties of Erddig and Chirk Castle. Indulge in the incredible scenery of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park or birdwatch within the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there is also the option to visit bustling towns such as Wrexham and Chester.

    We stayed at No. 9 for around two weeks with a toddler, and the space worked extremely well for our needs. Lovely views of the river, nice and quiet, and very comfortable! We found the kitchen in particular very well stocked with pots pans, etc. We were very easily able to cook for ourselves while juggling a toddler!

  • Mary
