About Branwen

Resting near the coast in Talacre, Flintshire, lies the wonderful, four-bedroom holiday home of Branwen. Featuring off-road parking for four cars on a private driveway, enclosed front and rear gardens, and superb location just a stone’s throw from the nearest shop, pub, and Talacre Beach, this charming abode makes a perfect base for a large family or a group of friends sharing seeking a relaxing, self-catered escape by the sea in North Wales.

Step into your lovely new home-from-home where you’ll discover a range of well-presented living spaces, including a fully-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances, a dining room with ample seating, and sitting room with plush seating and a wall-mounted TV, which serves as the social hub of the home. When it’s time to relax, head outside to the rear garden with a glass of your favourite tipple to take a seat on the outdoor seating, where you can raise a toast to your getaway.

When you’re ready, get into your bathing gear and indulge with a dip in the hot tub, and gaze up as the starry night begins to appear overhead. After the sun has set, head back indoors and refresh with a revitalising bath or shower before you eventually hunker down for a well-earned rest in one of the four inviting bedrooms, comprising three doubles and a twin.

If you can tear yourself from your fabulous new lodgings, head out on foot to discover what Talacre has to offer. A brief stroll into the village centre will bring you to the post office where you can stock up on essentials, the Lighthouse Inn that serves traditional pub fare, and the eateries of The Point Bar & Restaurant and The Battered Fish.

You’ll find an abundance of natural beauty in Talacre, whether that’s on a walk through the pristine RSPB Point of Ayr - Dee Estuary or a day spent on the lush sands of the popular Talacre Beach. If you fancy venturing further afield, jump in the car and head west along the coast where you’ll find the locations of Colwyn Bay, home to a beach and the Welsh Mountain Zoo, Penrhyn Bay and the adjacent Porth Dyniewaid Angel Bay hiking area, and the bustling town of Llandudno, where you can find the Llandudno Pier, Venue Cymru, and the awe-striking Great Orme Mines.

Branwen Reviews

Kate and Ruth
Great property and well equipped, ideal location for all ages with arcades nearby for children, great coastal dog walks on the doorstep, a few minutes walk to lots of amenities. The garden is great for dogs, very secure. Wonderful hot tub and outdoor area. Our second stay and would recommend.
Frederick Paul
We enjoyed our stay at Branwen it had every thing we needed. The house was nice and clean with a welcome pack of two bottles of wine a red and a white and dog treats to. Jayne who looks after the place was friendly and was helpful throughout are stay. The one thing that is needed is instructions for the hot tub. A lovely holiday.
We had a lovely stay at Branwen, which is nicely furnished and maintained. The hot tub is particularly good and well looked after. I think that it is important to know that although there are plenty of seating areas, it is difficult to seat a large group in the same room, which can be a disadvantage if your whole group wants to be together. I think the photographs made it look much bigger than it is. Great location though, walking distance to village and beach. Well equipped kitchen but freezer is out in the garden bar.
Having been let down at the last minute we managed to find Branwen. We were amazed how accommodating they were especially getting everything ready for our arrival. We didnt know what to expect as we didnt have time to research. We were more than happy on arrival the welcome basket was a nice touch. The hot tub and outside bar was an added bonus. There were plenty of games books dvds. A perfect family holiday home in an excellent location just a stones throw away from the beach
Jacqueline
Beautiful property. Close to amenities. Fantastic hot tub. Everything as perfectly described on your website. Would highly recommend.
What can I say? Staying here was an absolute treat. Jayne welcomed us with the most beautiful welcome basket and it even had dog treats for our lovely dog. The place was spotless! The rooms are so beautifully put together and it felt like we were at home from the moment we walked through the door. The enclosed garden and hot tub made our holiday even more special as my children and dog spent most of their time there. We were so close to local amenities including a great arcade, touristy shops, the beach and the most amazing tasting ice cream. Local is also a number of lovely cafesrestaurants which are also dog friendly. We will definitely be coming back to stay.
Lovely clean bungalow with everything we needed and more. There was even a hamper with wine and biscuits and dog treats The hot tub was lovely after our days out exploring north wales. The enclosed garden was ideal for our dogs. Thank you for a wonderful holiday Julie Dave and Boris and Fergie
An amazing property in a great location for the beach, amusements, walking and near extra activities and facilities in Prestatyn and Rhyl. We had a minor issue blocked toilet which was quickly resolved. Nice welcome hamper and Jayne was so helpful and friendly. The garden was great for the grandchildren Easter egg hunt and our 2 dogs and we all made full use of the fab hot tub. Outside shower and bar a bonus. The one thing we were concerned about was the bifold door between the 2 upstairs bedrooms as it came off the rail perhaps remove it altogether or replace with a curtain? We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this place to other families. Thank you!
The cottage had everything we needed we have had a nice relaxing time we would ... The cottage had everything we needed we have had a nice relaxing time we would book it again Jane is a lovely lady and very helpful it is a lovely area very quiet and peaceful

Owners had gone above and beyond to ensure there was everything In this cottage that was needed, by far the most beautiful and relaxing place I have ever stayed in. Beautiful welcome basket, my dog loved it. The kids loved it, I loved it. Hot tub spotless and very relaxing. Lovely times spent on the beach walking the dog. Jayne was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We will be back. I loved it
Kate and Ruth
Lovely holiday home in a great location, close to the beach, great walks and plenty of amenities. Lots of room for all the family with two ground floor doubles and upstairs another double room accessed via the twin. Tastefully decorated throughout and excellent welcome hamper. Great garden that is very secure for dogs. Hot tub was lovely and clean, great garden area with outside bar.
Our group had the most wonderful time at Branwen. The home is absolutely beautiful with top facilities, you could not ask for more. Beds were comfy, the WiFi was great, its a shame its almost winter because the garden is also brilliant and I can imagine it would be lovely to sit in the summer! Jayne was really amazing too, cant thank her enough for what she did for us. If youre looking for a brilliant holiday in Wales, with the bonus of a hot tub, look no further. Wed be back in a heartbeat!
Just back from a 4 night stay at Branwen, Talacre. Were a family of 5 17, 16 and 11 year olds. Weve had a great time, our host was lovely, friendly and knowledgeable, the cottage was really clean, had everything you could imagine provided for and was really comfortable. The location of the cottage is fantastic, its a 3 minute walk to the most wonderful unspoilt beach. The hot tub a proper one! was a real win. All in all a fab time, cottage and location. Thanks you very much
Louise
Steve, Louise & Ralph We stayed at this cottage 2923 for a week and didnt want to leave. Was welcomed by Jayne who gave us lots of information about the place and showed us around the cottage. Welcome basket on arrival with wine & biscuits and dog treats was a lovely touch. The cottage was spotless and the kitchen had everything you needed in it. The garden was was well kept and fully enclosed for our dog to have a wander around. Added bonus of the hot tub and outside bar and the shower and toilet was great. This was the best cottage we have stayed in and Talacre had everything we needed and the beach only a five min walk from the cottage. We will definitely be returning as much as we can.
Robert
Great place to stay, an ideal location to explore the area. Jayne was helpful and checked in with us to ensure all was okay. There is plenty of space, whether a family or two families holidaying together. The outside hot tub and bar area are so well executed and really do offer great additional outside space to enjoy. Thank you
We were a party of 7, 4 adults and 3 kids staying monday to friday. The property was as described and was spotless and fresh. It was a good size for everyone with plenty of space. The garden, hottub and bar were a great addition. The garden was well enclosed for the dog and the outdoor shower roomtoilet was useful with 7 people. Jayne and her husband Chris were a great help with a few issues we had but nothing was too much trouble. Jayne was there to meet us on arrival and offered suggestions of place to eat and visit. Communication was excellent and the property was very clean and well presented throughout. Talacre was a great base with a beautiful beach and easy access to all north Wales had to offer. Would definitely recommend and would love to return one day. Karen
