Across the landing is the family shower room, fitted with all you need to prepare for your day, and adjacent is the single bedroom, which overlooks the patio area. There is a small outbuilding which could be used to house mountain bikes. 27 Borthyn is just a 2 minute walk to the local pub, and 5 minute walk into the picturesque center of Ruthin, which has many shops, bars and cafes to choose from, and even a castle. For the adventurers, why not take a day trip to Llyn Brenig, or the North Wales coast where there are numerous walks and cycle paths available. The Roman city of Chester is also only a short drive away, packed full of history and restaurants there is something to keep everyone entertained. This lovely cottage is a perfect base for couples or families, wonderfully located for those wishing to discover what North Wales has to offer.
The hilltop town of Ruthin lies to the north of Llangollen via the breathtaking Horseshoe Pass. The town is picturesque with attractive half-timbered buildings, mainly clustered around St Peters Square. There are many interesting shops and buildings, whilst the Nant Clwyd House (the oldest timber frame in Wales), Ruthin Gaol and Ruthin Craft Centre, which houses work by internationally recognised artists and craftspeople, are also worth a visit. Beautiful countryside is on Ruthins doorstep with Lake Brenig, Moel Famau Country Park and Clocaenog Forest close by. Further afield, but still within easy touring distance, are the coast, Snowdonia National Park and historic Chester.
