Stunning House Overlooking the River in Llangollen | Bwthyn-Dyfrdwy

A real gem of a property, this stunning house overlooking the river in Llangollen is deceptively spacious and makes the ideal base for a family holiday. Whether you’re looking for a quiet break filled with leisurely strolls, cafe breakfasts and window shopping, or you’re looking to explore the great outdoors, Llangollen has something for everyone. The town is packed with cafes, bars, restaurants and a fabulous range of independent shops, while the surrounding area offers a wealth of activities from rafting and canoeing to picturesque walks ranging from gentle family wanders to challenging hikes.

The appropriately named Bwthyn Dyfrdwy (also known as Dee Bank Cottage) sits in prime position in the heart of Llangollen, on the banks of the River Dee. From the first floor balcony you can enjoy unparalleled views across the river to The Corn Mill, and beyond to Llangollen’s famous Riverside Park and Victorian Promenade. Watch as canoeists navigate the tumbling waters below and enjoy the nostalgic sound of the steam train as it chugs into Llangollen Station, just a stone’s throw from the cottage.

Sleeping up to seven guests (plus an infant) in three bedrooms, Bwthyn Dyfrdwy is set over three floors. On the ground floor is a traditional style kitchen with a stable door opening onto a small terraced area at the front of the property, a lovely space to enjoy an evening BBQ while taking in the sights and sounds of life in Llangollen. The light and airy kitchen is beautifully styled with classic country style units, wooden worktop and a butler’s sink, and well equipped with a range style oven, dishwasher, microwave, and a breakfast bar which offers a social spot to sit and chat while dinner is prepared. Off the kitchen a snug with a projector screen and small bar area is the perfect perfect space to enjoy movie night; light a fire in the log burner and snuggle up for a cosy night in.

Stairs lead from the snug up to the first floor where you’ll find a dining room leading into a pleasant living room, also with an electric log burner, and a large L-shaped sofa, perfect for relaxing after a fun-filled day. Doors open from both the living and dining areas onto a small decked balcony with a bar-style table and high stools, arguably the best seats in the house! This sunny spot is the ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee or relax after a day of adventure with a well-earned G&T; enjoy people watching and fantastic riverside views.

Also on this floor is a quirky toilet, inspired by station waiting rooms of days gone by and a reminder of the property’s proximity to the world famous Llangollen Railway, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time as you step into this characterful little loo.

On the second floor are three bedrooms; a spacious double with a superking bed and ample room for a cot, a twin, and a triple bunk room with sturdy custom-made bunks ideal for siblings or friends sharing. Also on this floor is the family bathroom, with a bath and separate shower, and a landing study area for those guests who just can’t leave their work at home!

This stunning house overlooking the river in Llangollen is beautifully and thoughtfully presented with a clever mix of contemporary and character decor and ticks all the boxes for a great family holiday.
