“Ideal for a quiet time away in nature.”

So many walks in the immediate vicinity.

So many walks in the immediate vicinity.

Paul February 2025

“This was the third time stopping here so I think that says it all really.”

Fantastic location to wake up to everyday. Although it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere ( which we love) there are lots of shops 5-10 mins car ride away .

- Paul, February 2025
Judy November 2024

“We had a wonderful couple of weeks in the old barn.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We were warm and cosy. The area is beautiful with walks pretty much from the doorstep. The Druid inn is an easy walk serves great food and is dog friendly . We couldn’t have asked for more the owners are lovely and whilst they live next door are definitely not intrusive.

- Judy, November 2024
Rosemary September 2024

“We loved the little cottage which had all the appliances and utensils you could wish for.”

We were well looked after by our hosts and nothing was too much trouble. A welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar, milk and lovely cake was waiting for us. There were also biscuits for the dog. It was set in a lovely central location and plenty of parking for the car. We had some lovely days out and would recommend Chirk Castle, Erddig Castle, Llangollen Aquaduct, Attingham Estate and Greenfield Valley Heritage Park.

- Rosemary, September 2024
David July 2024

“Beautiful cottage, beautiful surroundings and location.”

Owners Dave and Trish were really friendly and welcoming, providing us with milk on arrival together with treats for our Rottie and a fantastic fruitcake. All in all a really enjoyable break.

- David, July 2024
Melanie July 2024

“The Old Barn was a beautiful property in a beautiful setting.”

The property was well equipped with a great range of cookware for self catering. There were high quality bed linens and towels. The local walks from the door were spectacular as were the views from the garden over the valley. The hosts were welcoming but not intrusive and we loved the welcome pack with homemade cake. Our dogs were also made very welcome too.

- Melanie, July 2024
Dale July 2024

“The Old Barn is a great place to stay.”

This was a return visit for us having stayed a week the year before. Very nice accommodation with great views and walks nearby.

- Dale, July 2024
V June 2024

“This was a clean, comfortable and cosy cottage in a great location; particularly important as the weather was very chilly for the time of year!”

All very good! Thanks to Dave for lovely welcome and tasty cake etc. We had no complaints at all. We were, however, disappointed with the Sykes description of the outdoor space. It is indeed stated that this is shared with the nextdoor property, but we would strongly disagree that the outdoor seating area is private. Yes, each cottage has a small separate table and chairs place; but the whole area is shared, so dogs are free to wander all around. It's only fair to make others aware of this. We might have found it a bit annoying had it been warm enough to sit outside.

- V, June 2024
Margaret June 2024

“The Old Barn is situated in breathtaking scenery.”

It is charming, well furnished and very comfortable The owners were helpful but not in any way intrusive.The walks start almost from the Barn so for dog owners it’s a real bonus.I had a great holiday,so many attractions nearby and I would love to return

- Margaret, June 2024
Edyta May 2024

“We had a really nice stay @ the Barn.”

The cottage is located in perfect location for walks, 2mins from the place there is a "hidden" path, so you can start your walks away from cars etc. We have spend hours exploring surrounding areas with beautiful views. I would highly recommend this place, BUT please bare in mind something that we weren't aware of- that the "garden" isn't private, even though it states it is. There is another property that shares the spaces. So if your dog is good, as long as he is with people he knows, but reactive to unknown people, you will have to keep them on leash (unless obviously you are unconcerned about safety or others).

- Edyta, May 2024
Jenny May 2024

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful location great walks right from your doorstep.”

First stay at The old barn but certainly not the last owners Dave & Trish were very welcoming nothing was too much trouble. Thankyou for the home made cake and our Norfolk terrier said thankyou for his biscuits. Jenny & Chris

“Wonderful little cottage, really cosy and quiet, gave us a good peaceful break - owners were really lovely and welcoming.”

- Ben, May 2024
Pam April 2024

“Only one discomfort is the small club chair, it maybe improved with the addition of a foot stool.”

A mention their is stone flooring will trigger guests to fetch their slippers. Everything else was great

- Pam, April 2024
Robert March 2024

“The Old Barn is an excellent property.”

We were warmly welcomed by the owner, and even had homemade fruit cake waiting for us. It’s well equipped and handy for both Chester and Wrexham, and also not too far from the coast. There are some great walks nearby, and with it being dog friendly, was perfect for us. Local pubs are dog friendly, and offer wonderful food. This is a property we would return to again.

- Robert, March 2024
Terry February 2024

“Lovely peaceful well cared for cottage in a very beautiful location.”

The owners were very friendly and helpful making sure we had everything we needed. The area around the cottage is absolutely beautiful and the views just 2 minutes down the road are undoubtedly some of the best in Wales when cresting the hill they really take your breath away. There are 2 properties on site and we have stayed in both and would highly recommend either. Happy holidays. Terry.

- Terry, February 2024

“We had a great stay at the old barn.”

It is a lovely cosy barn and was vey clean with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Our hosts left us a tasty cake, tea, coffee, sugar and milk which was a really nice touch. Oh, and Millie our little dog enjoyed the treats left for her too……thank you! Would definitely recommend.

- Barbara, October 2023
Nicholas October 2023

“A beautifully modernised little cottage, full of home comforts and ideally situated for walks to country parks and attractive little towns like Ruthin and Mold.”

Also within easy range are the beaches of North Wales and the wonderful gardens at Ness on the Wirral.

- Nicholas, October 2023
Darren October 2023

“Lovely owners.”

Great quite get away cottage

- Darren, October 2023
Sharon September 2023

“Very well equipped property.”

Comfortable and quiet with plenty of parking space. The property is fully fenced so this is only an advisory if you have a small dog and because my cavalier managed to squeeze through it on the last day, the gap between the gate and post is big enough to get through but there are plenty of things around to use to block it off while you are in. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here last week.

- Sharon, September 2023
Dale September 2023

“Great cottage in a lovely setting with wonderful views.”

Lovely friendly hosts who made us welcome with milk, homemade cake and biscuits for our dog. We liked it so much we booked again it for next year.

Sylvia June 2023

“Lovely cottage well equipped everything you need nice and peaceful furniture in living room very uncomfortable but apart from that enjoyed our stay trish made us lovely apple cake on arrival and left us a card and bottle of wine for our anniversary thanks for a lovely stay .”

- Sylvia, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback regarding the Old Barn. We were very disappointed that you found the furniture in the living room to be uncomfortable. We go to great lengths to try to ensure that everything is nice for our guests and as we, ourselves, would wish it to be. Unfortunately, the comfort of living room furniture depends very much on how it "fits" an individual and what is good for one person is not necessarily good for another. We are sorry that, on this occasion, we weren't able to precisely meet your needs but were glad to note that you enjoyed your holiday overall. Property Owner
Robert June 2023

“Fabulous property, everything you need for a wonderful stay at The Old Barn and nicely situated for touring the lovely sights of North Wales.”

Trish & Dave are extremely accommodating and on hand if needed, nice welcoming touch of milk, cake and dog treats, completely secure for our two dogs to wander freely. Very comfortable bed, nice shower and towels provided, TV with Humax box so loads of chanels as well as a load of DVD’s and great WiFi. Perfect for a couple who want peace and quiet in a beautiful location. Thank you Trish & Dave for a wonderful stay Robert, Freda, Bella & Betsy

- Robert, June 2023
Susan June 2023

“We have just come back from our Honeymoon at the old barn, it was the perfect romantic getaway and our two dogs loved it too!”

Absolutely lovely welcome pack including a home baked apple cake from owner Trish which we have taken the recipe home to try and recreate! Loved every minute there so many lovely walks and pubs to dine at near by. We will be back! Xx

- Susan, June 2023
Barry May 2023

“Wonderful cottage for a peaceful retreat .”

Well equipped and very clean and comfortable.The cake was not only a pleasant surprise but totally delicious. We were constantly entertained by the family of yellow wagtails that reside in the patio area. Would highly recommend the cottage to anyone wanting a nice quiet peaceful retreat.

My Eddie standard poodle loved it and grounds are enclosed so he could wander around. Beautiful views and lots of lovely walks.

The cottage itself was cosy and beautifully clean, with some really thoughtful touches,like an excellent book and dvd selection.

A real oasis of calm during a troubled time for us. Thank you so much. Chris and Wendy Barnett

Denise November 2022

“As the cottage said dog friendly,and also enclosed garden,this in my opinion isn’t true.”

I found the staircase in the cottage dangerous,it needed a safety gate at the bottom,to stop the dog going up ,as the steps had gaps,which were quite dangerous.Also it said enclosed garden,that wasn’t .A dog could easily get out. Last. The grounds were extremely dark at night,they have lights but they go off after about 30 seconds.The lighting should be on for a set period of time. I have to give a frank an honest review.

- Denise, November 2022

Dear Guest We were very disappointed to hear that you were unhappy with the Old Barn. The great majority of our guests visit the Barn with dogs (some large some very small) and most make a point of saying how happy they are with the accommodation. If I could address your comments in turn: 1.you state that you found the staircase in the cottage dangerous. The staircase has open tread stairs, which might be a little disconcerting for someone who has never used this type of staircase before. However, I'd like to reassure you that the stairs are every bit as safe as any other type of staircase and are fully Building Regulations compliant. 2. We do not leave a safety gate in the cottage as this would be in the way for guests who do not want to use it and safety gates can prove difficult to step over and a trip hazard. We do however have one available for guests who wish to avail themselves of it. 3. The area surrounding the cottage (and it's neighbour the Little White Cottage) can be shut off by closing the gate. Once the gate is closed the area is dog-tight. 4. The grounds are dark at night but we have outside security lights which react to movement so if you are walking your dog around you should not be in a very dark area at all. We will, however, check again to ensure there are no dark areas we've missed. Additionally we provide torches for guests to use during their stay. It's a shame that you didn't discuss your concerns with us in the limited time you were here. We live onsite and, as we mention to all guests, we're only too happy to help with any issues if we possibly can. Property Owner

“Highly recommended, lovely character property with caring personal touches.”

Milk and home baked cake were very much appreciated. The owners were available for any problems but we didn't have any ! Very dog friendly and ideal location for walks or travelling to visitor attractions, feels like you are in the middle of nowhere but less than a mile from the main road. We will hopefully be back soon.

Jayne August 2022

“An absolute gem of a cottage, in a beautiful setting, overlooking the valley and hills.”

It is perfect for a lazy few days relaxing or as a base to adventure further. Loads of nearby walking, it was too hot to move when we stayed but we have no complaints. Trish and Dave were perfect hosts, there if we needed anything, friendly but not intrusive. The cottage had everything we could wish for. We hope to go back so we can enjoy the walks. We were left a welcome package which included cake and treats for our dog. So thoughtful. 100% recommended this property.

Julian July 2022

“Trish and Dave have genuinely thought of everything, all the way from must-have's to so many delightful little touches.”

John May 2022

“We had a lovely week staying at the Old Barn.”

The weather wasn’t great, so we walked less than we’d hoped, but there are some great routes including Moel Famau. Fantastic hosts, Dave and Tricia, made us so welcome and live in an adjacent property but pottered around the garden with discretion so we never felt spied-on. Tricia made us a fantastic cake (which I devoured as we drank tea and played cards outside when the sun did shine). The barn conversion itself is perfect for two people. The bed is very comfy, the en suite and kitchen are both clean and contemporary and the whole building is very well equipped with a plethora of plug sockets! The addition of the little conservatory on the back of the barn really does extend the available space; it’s a lovely place to sit (eat cake and play cards!). Highly recommended.

- John, May 2022
Pat May 2022

“We had a friendly informative welcome from Dave and a delicious cake left from Tricia.”

The Barn ticked all of the boxes...spotlessly clean, well equipped, tasteful decor, powerful shower, comfortable bed with good linen and is in a beautiful spot. Would love to return and be very happy to recommend.

- Pat, May 2022

“We have not booked through Sykes before and found the website very good, plenty of choice and easy to book our chosen property.”

All follow up emails were useful and helpful. Our holiday cottage exceeded our expectations. Beautifully renovated, warm, clean and very comfortable. We had a warm welcome from our hosts who quickly explained all we needed to know. The cottage, complete with festive tree, was perfect for our Winter break, both as somewhere to relax and its great location for going out and about. Our hosts certainly thought of everything to make it homely and ready for visitors to settle in quickly. I would highly recommend this for any time of year.

“Great location for numerous walks from the doorstep including Moel Fermau,the highest hill in the Clwydian range.”

Cottage very cosy with DVDs, books and jigsaws to occupy your time in the evenings. Not far to Mold with shops, eateries and a market. A great cafe at Loggerheads country park with cakes it die for. For dog owners the cottage is ideally situated for long walks, it has a secure garden and the friendly owners also dog owners provide everything you may need to wash and dry their paws after walks and treats to spoil them.

- James, September 2021
Carole July 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Barn Cottage.”

It had everything we needed, bed very comfy, the conservatory was a welcome additional space. We were fortunate to be able to sit out at the garden table and take in the beautiful view. The cottage is in a very peaceful setting yet only minutes by car from the local shop and pubs with good food. We can recommend The Druid Inn in Llangferres and the Loggerheads Inn at Loggerheads plus a bit further away The 3 Pigeons has a lovely outdoor setting. All of these places are dog friendly, booking advisable. Great dog walks nearby. Dave was a great host, always happy to help with any queries yet not intrusive. We would love to return to The Old Barn.

The owners were on hand close to the Old Barn, they were very welcoming but not intrusive. The fact that we could bring our beloved chihuahua was an added bonus. Would recommend it. We would love to return as there is so much to see and do on the area.

It was in a peaceful location in a beautiful setting with terrific dog walks nearby. The owners made us most welcome from the minute we arrived and were very helpful throughout our stay.

About the location

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.
