    “Cartref is a really lovely cottage.”

    A little tucked away but not too remote. Some traffic noise from A55 but you got used to it. Nice interiors and very tidy and clean. Comfortable beds. Lovely appliances. Good location, close to coast and historic sites. We loved the horses and sheep surrounding us. Good communication from the owner. Nice to have the two sitting room areas and two bathrooms and the Three TV's. We just had a few things we could have done with, we couldn't find a can opener, lids for the larger pans were missing, ...

    A little tucked away but not too remote. Some traffic noise from A55 but you got used to it. Nice interiors and very tidy and clean. Comfortable beds. Lovely appliances. Good location, close to coast and historic sites. We loved the horses and sheep surrounding us. Good communication from the owner. Nice to have the two sitting room areas and two bathrooms and the Three TV's. We just had a few things we could have done with, we couldn't find a can opener, lids for the larger pans were missing, no tea towels, a few more mugs would be good, a mirror in the downstairs bedrooms would have been handy and lastly the outdoor space could do with a little tidy up and attention. Random bits of paving and edges jutting out made it a bit tricky to manoeuvre our car on the already small space. Having said that there was a nice patio and outdoor chairs were very comfortable. All in all we had a really nice holiday, and would love to return to the area and Cartref cottage. For future visitors, we really liked Basingwerk abbey, Rhuddlan castle, the Talacre beach and light house and Dyserth waterfall. The Dukes of Lancaster ship was a curious and fascinating visit too, just outside Holywell. Thank you for a lovely time.

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.
