    “Everything about this property is five star including the owners Pam and Matt.”

    Ideal base for exploring the area we thoroughly enjoyed visiting Rhos on sea very pretty seaside town and only a short drive away and then returning to sink into the very large hot tub with lovely views over the countryside. Superb accommodation on every level could not have asked for more.

    Thanks so much for your fabulous review! We are delighted that you enjoyed yourselves, in spite of some rainy days during your stay. Glad you enjoyed The Lodge’s location - and of course the hot tub! It was really lovely to meet you both and it goes without saying it would be great to welcome you back sometime. Property Owner

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.
