The property

The Holywell is a characterful, ground-floor apartment situated in Holywell, Flintshire, offering a unique and indulgent escape exclusively for adults.

Accessed via a shared pathway beside its sister property, The Funky Flat, the apartment opens into a small communal courtyard with seating for two - an ideal spot for a peaceful morning coffee or evening drink.

Guests enter through a striking, studded medieval-style door into a long corridor adorned with eclectic artwork, setting the tone for a stay that blends sophistication with a playful twist.

The interiors draw inspiration from the refined atmosphere of an upmarket gentleman’s club, creating a bold and romantic setting for couples seeking something a little out of the ordinary.

The open-plan living space is well-appointed with a twin hob, fridge/freezer, pizza oven, and air fryer - perfect for relaxed evenings in.

A corner sofa, a Smart TV, and an electric fire provide a warm and inviting environment to unwind.

For added indulgence, a two-person sauna and a rotating dancer’s pole - mounted on a smooth bearing system - add a theatrical flourish to the experience.

The bedroom is a centrepiece in its own right, featuring a four-poster bed with silk ties on the posts and set at a comfortable kneeling height.

A curated selection of accessories, including cuffs, whips, and bondage straps, is tastefully displayed, while drawers are stocked with complimentary items such as lubricants and condoms.

The décor is bold yet elegant, with some artwork and artefacts carrying a cheeky, suggestive tone - never explicit, but always in keeping with the apartment’s playful character.

To enhance the romantic atmosphere, guests are welcomed with a specially curated hamper including champagne, chocolates, and a selection of Ann Summers products (valued at approximately £50), adding a flirtatious and fun element to your stay.

The sleek bathroom features a double-ended freestanding bath with a handheld shower, a heated towel rail, basin, and WC - offering a tranquil space to relax and refresh.

Ideally located for exploring the surrounding area, The Hollow is close to Greenfield Valley Heritage Park and the evocative ruins of Basingwerk Abbey.

The striking Duke of Lancaster ship is nearby, as are the scenic Rhaeadr Dyserth Waterfall and the golden sands of Barkby Beach and Ffrith Beach Arena Park.

For those wishing to venture further afield, the historic city of Chester is just a short drive away, offering a wealth of attractions including Chester Cathedral, Eastgate Clock, the Roman Amphitheatre, and the Grosvenor Museum.

Whether you're marking a special occasion or simply seeking a romantic escape with a twist, The Hollow offers a memorable and stylish base.

Please note: due to the distinctive adult-themed styling, guests are encouraged to review the property details carefully before booking.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

HOLYWELL

Mold 9 miles; Prestatyn 10 miles; Chester 18 miles.

The market town of Holywell in North Wales takes its name from the town’s most famous attraction, the 7th century St Winefride’s Well, one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. Holywell boasts over 60 listed buildings, with a variety of late Georgian and Victorian buildings on offer, along with a pedestrianised shopping centre, pubs, restaurants and an open-air market every Thursday. Just one mile away are the 12th century ruins of Basingwerk Abbey within the grounds of the Greenfield Valley Heritage Park, with its museum. There are many lovely walking routes in the area, including the open common area at Halkyn Mountain, Pennant Way, Offa’s Dyke and The Welsh Coastal Path. Within driving distance is the pretty Market town of Mold, which holds an outdoor market on a Wednesday and Saturday. The historic city of Chester, with its famous Rows, Roman Walls, racecourse, zoo, shops and restaurants is just over the border in England. The beautiful Welsh Coast is easily reached with the little seaside village and beach of Talacre only a short drive away. Prestatyn, Rhyl, and of course Llandudno are also easily accessible, together with the majestic mountains of Snowdonia. There are also some beautiful gardens to visit, Ness on the Wirral, and Bodnant Gardens in Snowdonia to name just two.
