Cwtch is a delightful retreat situated in the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley National Landscape, in the charming village of Cilcain, Flintshire. With breath-taking mountain views, a toasty woodburning stove, partial ground-floor living, and convenient roadside parking, this family-friendly haven welcomes one well-behaved dog, making it perfect for families, two couples or groups of friends seeking a serene escape. Step through the double French doors and into a striking open-plan living space, where a double-height ceiling and exposed beams immediately set the tone for a stay steeped in character. A sculptural impact light shade draws the eye upward, while a playful post box feature adds a touch of whimsy to the room. The kitchen, tucked neatly to one side, invites you to prepare hearty breakfasts or leisurely suppers, with everything you need close at hand. Meals become moments at the intimate dining table, perfect for two, where the nearby picture window frames the changing light and landscape beyond. The plush, vibrant blue sofas and armchair beckon you to sink in and unwind. As evening falls, the woodburning stove crackles to life, casting a warm glow across the room—ideal for film nights or quiet conversation. The ground floor is also home to a sleek shower room, with a walk-in enclosure, basin and WC—perfect for refreshing after a day in the hills or before settling in for the evening. Painted floorboards lead the way up the central staircase to the mezzanine double bedroom, a peaceful perch under the beams and a soft landing after days spent exploring the surrounding countryside. Downstairs, the king-size bedroom offers a sanctuary of calm, framed by a second double-height ceiling and adorned with pictures that echo the natural beauty outside. Outside, the enclosed garden invites you to greet the morning with coffee on the lawn or linger into the evening as the barbecue sizzles on the gravel area. Whether you’re dining alfresco or losing yourself in a good book, the gentle rustle of leaves and distant birdsong create a tranquil backdrop to your stay. Beyond the doors of Cwtch, the natural beauty of Cilcain presents ample opportunities for leisure activities; commence your explorations at Loggerheads Country Park, a hub of vast woodland, towering cliffs, and trickling rivers which make for a picturesque afternoon outdoors. Venture further afield to Chester Zoo, an excellent day out for animal lovers of all ages boasting an array of fascinating species, from cheeky chimps to gargantuan giraffes, ensuring hours of family fun. Finally, step back in time aboard the heritage Llangollen Railway, where you can savour the sights of the Dee Valley as the steam train chugs along the tracks. After satisfactorily satiating your appetite for adventure, retreat back to the warmth and ease of Cwtch, creating unforgettable memories of your time in Flintshire.
