    “Everything was well thought out and spot on.”

    The effort and extra touches did not go unnoticed. We had a lovely time and would definitely return. I was worried about the "farm track" up to the property, but this was fine too. If I had to give one piece of constructive criticism (and this is the only thing which wasn't perfect) is that we paid £20 for the hot tub to be warm on arrival but it was so hot we couldn't get in it, even after turning the fire off straight away. I suppose it takes a bit of getting used to but it was disappointing ...

I suppose it takes a bit of getting used to but it was disappointing nonetheless as I had been looking forward to getting straight in with a G&T after the drive down.

    - Joanna, November 2024

    Thank you for your valued custom, we very much look forward to welcoming you back. Our hot tubs are heated by wood, as we don't have the facilities we don't offer a heating service and would not normally heat for customers, it was a special one off request! Our recommendation is to use hard wood, during the summer months it takes about 2 hours to heat, during the winter when the outside temperature is lower then about 3 - 3.5 hours, so it's not long before you can relax and enjoy at a temperature that suits you.

The property

Two Hoots is a superb holiday pod, which sits alongside its identical counterpart Ewe Two.

The pod can be found set on the owner's working farm but away from the owner's own property for privacy, offering views over fields and across the River Dee estuary.

A retreat away from the hustle and bustle is what this property can offer you and your other half, to allow you to enjoy some quality time surrounded by nature.

There is one main room which magically fits in all you will need, such as the kitchen area with a 2 x ring hob, microwave/oven and sink; there is a two seat sofa, a double bed, a TV with DVD and WiFi.

Concluding this unusual holiday accommodation is the shower room, boasting a walk-in shower, a basin and WC.

Continuing to impress is the private decked area, where you can look forward to dipping into the wood-fired hot tub built in just for you both to enjoy on a warm mid-summer evening.

Note: Property can be booked with Ref. 951606, and together they can sleep four people.

Two Hoots & Ewe Two

Two Hoots & Ewe Two consists of two secluded identical barrel pods situated on the owner’s working farm, which has a mixture of arable, sheep and cattle farming in the surrounding fields, in Oakenholt, Flintshire. The pods are set back and separated from the owner’s own property, surrounded by a backdrop of picturesque fields. Placed within the Flintshire countryside of North East Wales looking out onto rolling hills and the River Dee Estuary, this is a perfect spot away from everyday life for a relaxing break. From here, you are well-placed to explore North Wales and Cheshire, or just to kick back in the countryside setting. The pods are ideal for a couple's romantic retreat with a private wood-fuelled hot tub to offer that deserved sense of tranquillity. Inside these fantastic pods is an open-plan living space, each with a double bed, kitchen area, sofa, and Smart TV with DVD, which you can actually swivel round so you can watch from your bed, or from the wood-fired hot tub on your private decking! North Wales offers an abundance of choice for visitors, from relaxing afternoon tea on one of the scenic steam railways journeys to paddling on one of its sandy beaches, from animal spotting at a local zoo or aquarium to exploring one of its many mediaeval castles or forts. With an abundance of museums & galleries to leisurely stroll around or one of its many parks & gardens offering plenty of visitor shops and cafes to enjoy. Your time in North Wales can be very relaxing or filled with adrenaline, fun, adventure activities, which will you choose, if you can’t decide, then choose both! In recent years, North Wales has become the adventure and outdoor capital of the UK. Some of its adventure activities are unique. Others are record-breaking - longest, fastest, the best in the world. Just think of the photos and the stories you'll be able to tell your friends when you get home. North Wales is a two-wheeler's dream. The super-fit can ride marathon-length routes, the adventurous world-class mountain bike trails with some of the best centres in the UK. Mountain bike adventure some 30km, through stunning mountain trails a spectacular, hidden gem of challenging tracks. Casual riders will delight at the miles and miles of car-free tracks, many on disused, gentle-gradient railway lines. The quiet single-track lanes around the Vale of Clwyd make for flatter, scenic road cycling. Or cycle the coastal path from Deeside to Cardigan Bay and beyond. The National Outdoor Centre, in North Wales, is the UK’s home of true adventure. It is the place for everyone to discover new outdoor sports, improve their performance and have great adventures across a range of activities. With more than 200 courses to suit all abilities and interests, from complete beginners to enthusiasts. There are also high ropes courses, go-kart tracks and racing circuits, rock climbing and abseiling (indoor and outdoor), cave exploring, horse riding, quad biking, and off-road driving, as well as canyoning (or gorge-walking), mountain biking and clay pigeon shooting. Watersports is one of the North Wales top specialists in outdoor activities, be it, windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, abseiling, archery, raft building, wakeboarding, Whitewater rafting and jet skiing. They say it's the nearest thing to flying - a zip wire over a massive slate quarry. It's the longest in Europe and the fastest in the world. There's a second "zip zone" too, where you descend a whole mountain on zip wires. Or why not explore a deep cavern where Victorians mined slate? The tour is fascinating enough - so then imagine finding a huge cavern lit with different coloured lights and festooned with nets and trampolines? That's another unforgettable North Wales adventure and outdoor activity waiting for you! Another unusual sight, deep in the valley, is a man-made lagoon featuring a wave machine and all the facilities you need to learn to surf. Or if you prefer some gentle strolling whilst taking in the amazing scenery on offer, then North East Wales has gentler walking on its doorstep. The Clwydian Range of hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the beginning (or end) of Offa's Dyke long distance path. The Berwyn Mountains and the rolling hills around Llangollen make great walking and hiking country too. Coastal walks start in Deeside and end in...well, they don't end! From the River Dee in the North East to the Mawddach Estuary in Cardigan Bay and beyond, there's always a walk by the sea. Walking North Wales along the north coast features surfaced paths for easy walking (and cycling) between our most popular resorts. Whatever your reason for needing a well-deserved break, you will find yourself totally content at Two Hoots and Ewe Two, realising that a simple life never felt so good.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

Chester 12 miles.

Located 12 miles west of Chester, on the borderlands of Wales and England, Northop is a historic and pretty village, dating back over 1000 years, with a variety of architectural styles on offer along the high street. Developed as a result of its strategic position on the transport route between the two countries it thrived throughout the 17th century and still retains a delightful village feel, with three welcoming village pubs, a busy Post Office and general stores and several shops and businesses make up its centre, along with a village cricket club and reputable golf club. The Wats Dyke was built in the 8th century to protect the Welsh from invaders and now forms a delightful walk from Holywell along a 65km trail into Shropshire, cutting through the village and surrounding farmland of Northop. Be sure to visit St Eurgain's Grade I listed church in the village, eat at one of the village pubs and perhaps hear the award-winning Northop Silver Band rehearsing in the nearby band hall. With excellent access to both Chester and the North Wales coast on the A55, just 2 miles drive to the renowned Theatr Clwyd, fantastic country walks and cycling routes and several excellent golf courses in the area, Northop is an ideal base for exploring the many delights on offer in the region.
