Set off on a voyage of discovery on the Llangollen Railway; hop aboard a steam or diesel train from Llangollen Station and enjoy an enchanting journey through the stunning Welsh countryside, past the atmospheric ruins of Castell Dinas Brân and across the impressive Llangollen Bridge. Savour a delightful breakfast, a tempting lunch or a comforting cup of tea at the charming Dee Side Cafe Bistro, or if Italian cuisine appeals, Fouzi's Café Bar & Pizzeria offers scrumptious pizza and pasta, complemented by a bar with a wide selection of drinks. Venture to the bustling city of Chester, where animal lovers can geek out at Chester Zoo and history fanatics will enjoy exploring Chester's city walls. Don't forget to make a stop down to the River Dee, an ideal spot for an afternoon stroll and ice cream. Whatever your adventures involve, returning to your tranquil retreat at North Wales Eco Lodges, and winding down in the hot tub with a glass of bubbly will be the perfect end to an unforgettable day in Graigfechan.
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 Peter’s 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 Ruthin’s 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.

The bunk beds feel very wobbly and are very noisy so my asn kid felt more comfortable on the sofa. We were the only people booked in on site all week so I am confused about the decision to put us in number four. Number four is totally overlooked by the pub up the hill, we booked for two dogs and liked the idea of the enclosed garden, unfortunately number four doesn't have direct access to the enclosed garden which meant we had to put the girls on leads and walk them to the garden round the corner every time. It also meant that we couldn't have the french doors open to let air in as they led straight out the to drive way open space. We ended up buying a fan to try and keep the space cool as we were unable to have the door open. None of our outside lights were working the solar panels are covered by the building so gave off no light at all. On leaving and checking under the beds I found tissues, dirty glassware, and other rubbish from a previous tennant. You could use a space to hang or store clothes although I'm not sure where. We ended up living out of our bags for the few days. Other than that it's a great wee space and if the pub had been more welcoming or still serving food would have made a lovely wee base for exploring.

The lodge was super clean, had everything one needed for a stay and a comfy main bed. The hottub with Bluetooth speakers was a huge highlight especially for our 5 year old. Area was quiet but never too far from shops and pubs but you will definitely need your own transport to get here. A big shout out to John who does the maintenance for the area, not only was he friendly but also offered his assistance when we unfortunately had our car die on us and had to be taken away by RAC. He went above and beyond to check in with us to make sure we were ok and if we needed any food picking up from town,this kindness certainly made us feel at ease during a slightly stressful situation (especially with a 5 year old ).

Clean tidy lodge, bed very comfortable, hot tubs all emptied and refilled after everyoneâs stay, short drive to get to shops and some narrow roads , but in country side what we expected. Would definitely be coming back ,
