Resting rurally in Llandyrnog near Trefnant, Denbighshire, is Forge Cottage, a contemporary, two-bedroom barn conversion. Enjoying far-reaching countryside views, near the Clwydian Range And Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Forge Cottage offers a well-equipped, stylish base for a family of four, whilst a short journey away from the coastal delights of North Wales.
Travel down the rural track and park up on the private driveway, before stepping indoors, to be welcomed by a utility room, where you can store your muddy boots and coats. Be welcomed into the open-plan living space, where you can prepare and enjoy delectable meals, with a host of state-of-the-art appliances, before cosying up on the corner sofa with the woodburning fire alight.
On sunny days, dine alfresco upon the patio area, before retreating to the covered area, where you'll spot an indulgent hot tub, ideal for a late-night soak. Catch some rest from one of two twin bedrooms on offer, both with zip/link features, and serviced by a ground-floor, sleek bathroom.
Complete your morning routine before head to Trefnant for your nearest hub of amenities, whilst outdoor enthusiasts will relish in a hike across either Penycloddiau Hill Fort or Moel Arthur Hill Fort. Travel north to explore the breath-taking landscape of Rhaeadr Dyserth Waterfall, along with a trek up Gop Hill Cairn, before reaching Denbigh and its history-rich attractions, including Denbigh Castle/ Castell Dinbych, The Carriageworks, and the Denbigh Masonic Buildings.
Round off your break near the coast, with both Prestatyn Beach and Rhyl Beach reachable by car, before returning home for sundowners. Escape to rural Wales at Forge Cottage.
