This traditional farmhouse accommodation in an idyllic setting comes with big views across green fields to hills and mountains beyond. Stylish, bright and smart, it sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms – two doubles and one room with bunk beds.

If you’re hankering after a remote and totally private location, this beautiful holiday cottage could be the perfect match for you. Erw-Dinmael is a lovely Welsh farmhouse which occupies a central North Wales location and is perfectly placed for day trips to Llangollen, Bala, Betws y Coed, and Llandegla.

The cottage is nestled in the foothills of the Berwyn mountains, which run from Llangollen in the north, across to Bala in the west and Oswestry in the south. This is a quiet but beautiful corner of North Wales, ideal if you are looking for a relaxing holiday getaway that is slightly off the beaten track.

There are superb walking, cycling and wildlife watching opportunities straight from the front door. The surrounding landscapes are quite inspiring – if you are in anyway artistically inclined, pack your notebook, sketchbook, pencils and pens.

Open the front door into this traditional farmhouse accommodation in an idyllic setting and you’ll find a small hallway which is ideal for casting off boots, wellies and coats. From there, step left into the dining room with a handsome oak dining table and a cupboard nook with hatch pass into the kitchen. There is a stable style back door which opens into the garden.

The kitchen is bright and modern. Recently renovated, it comes with gas hob and electric oven, a dishwasher, large fridge freezer and microwave, plus plenty of pots, pans, utensils and storage space. The far-reaching views from the kitchen windows are superb.

The living room comes with original beamed ceiling, and a huge oak lintel over the fireplace. A large, inviting, and very comfortable ‘L’ shaped sofa is arranged around the toasty log fire. We love the winged leather armchair and deep recessed windows. The perfect spot to get cosy with a good book and a glass of something delicious.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, one double with en suite shower room, a second double which has a zip and link bed so it can be seperated into two single beds upon request, and a bunk bedroom, ideal if you are bringing children or grandchildren. The bedrooms are beautifully presented and very restful. There is a shared family bathroom with a bath and shower.

Outside of this traditional farmhouse accommodation in an idyllic setting is an enclosed garden, and a patio with dining table and chairs. A little piece of rural paradise, it is surrounded by rolling green fields dotted with grazing sheep. The Berwyn mountains lie beyond.

Location

 

If you love big countryside views with a remote and totally private location, this traditional farmhouse accommodation in an idyllic setting could be the perfect match for you. Erw-Dinmael occupies a central North Wales location and is perfectly placed for day trips to Llangollen, Betws y Coed, Bala, and Llandegla.

The Berwyn mountains – which run from Llangollen in the north, down to Bala in the west and Oswestry in the south – stretch out before it. The views from the cottage are quite inspiring – if you are in any way artistically inclined, pack your notebook, sketchbook, pencils and pens.

The cottage is a 20-minute drive to Bala, or 40 minutes to Llangollen. The market town of Corwen, ancestral home of Owain Glyndwr, the last native-born prince of Wales, is just a 20-minute drive – check into Corwen’s small museum to find out more about Wales’s national hero. Just outside Corwen, you’ll find the Rhug Estate Organic Farm Shop and bistro – well worth a visit if you want to stock up with some of the region’s best local produce.

Bala is home to the largest natural lake in Wales, and a whole host of water sports including white water rafting, sailing, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. There is a wonderful steam train which huffs and puffs passengers up and down the lakeside. And the town’s high street is well worth a visit too – if you like to sample local brews on your holidays, head to Stori Beers & Wines for an impressive selection of Welsh ales and gins.

Llangollen is a thriving town which is home to plenty of interesting shops, cafés and restaurants. One of our favourites haunts has to be the Corn Mill gastro pub in the centre of town – in suitable weather it’s well worth sitting out on the pub’s terrace which stands on stilts over the River Dee. The magnificent Pontcysyllte aqueduct is a short drive from Llangollen, as is the Valle Crucis Abbey. Or if you’re feeling energetic, walk up to the town’s atmospheric castle ruins, Dinas Brân.

The cottage is a half hour drive from Betws y Coed, also known as the gateway to the Snowdonia National Park. Again, Betws is a thriving town with plenty to do and see, from galleries and bistros to outdoor gear shops. Betws is surrounded by the Gwydir forest which is home to family-friendly cycle trails, as well as the big climbs and descents of the Gwydir Mawr a Bach / the Marin Trail – a must-do for any serious mountain bike fan. Slightly closer to the cottage, you’ll find superb trails to cycle at One Planet Adventure at Llandegla.

There are superb walking and wildlife watching opportunities straight from the front door. There’s a lovely short circular up the Pen y Pigyn hillside at Corwen, or try the North Berwyn Way, which climbs the wild mountains between Corwen and Llangollen, for a bit more of a challenge.

Nearby family-friendly attractions to this gorgeous stone cottage at the foot of the Berwyn mountains include Zip World Fforest with its forest zip safari and tree top nets (25 minutes), and Bounce Below, Llechwedd Slate Caverns and Zip World Titan (45 minutes).

We picked this house for its remote location to escape the fireworks as our dog is petrified of them and it was perfectly located.
The beds were comfy, well equipped kitchen and the log burner was easy to light and was lovely on the cooler nights.
Unfortunately we had to complain about the cleanliness of the accommodation. Dioni were quick to respond . The owner offered to clean the house during our stay but as our personal items were now unpacked we didn’t want them covered in the dust and cobwebs from a deep clean.
The owner did come to the property to meet us once she had received our photos of the mess and presented us with a bottle of champagne and her apologies .

A fabulous week!
Views offered from the property are panoramic, optimised by the wall to wall sunshine we experienced!
We absolutely loved the ‘ sound of silence’ at 1100 feet , as did our chow bears ( they too were mesmerised by the whole experience!)
Witnessing the starlit skies and the presence of the local buzzard family soaring the skies was absolutely stunning!
An amazing week- highly recommended!

What a fantastic place! We are always looking for peaceful and remote places to stay…this was both. Felt like we were away from everything. We only had 2 nights here….wish I’d had 2 weeks. Lovely welcome pack and pleasant, comfortable cottage. Views are amazing and perfect for stargazing on a clear night, our 6 year old saw his first shooting star!

This is a beautifully restored farmhouse, with very tasteful interior decoration. It is well equipped for a group to spend a week there. We unfortunately arrived during the wettest July, but still enjoyed the views. My one reservation personally is the distance from the road and the farm gates and cattle grids, but that didn’t detract from having a lovely week. The house is situated close to many attractions, Bala Lake, Portmeirion my personal favourite and in better weather the west coast beaches.

We had a great week in this cottage. For peace seekers a great place fully equipped. A parasol and easy chairs for outside would make this cottage even better as we were here when it was very hot.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful and peaceful setting. The cottage has everything you need to help you unwind . A lovely few days, and will be back for a longer stay next time .

A lovely cottage, well equipped, nicely decorated and furnished. Beds were comfy; we all slept well. We enjoyed the rural location with only cows and sheep for neighbours. The first half of our week was sunny; a parasol for the outside table would have been an advantage. The garden is fenced all round but not secure; some sheep found their way in under a fence, so our dog would definitely have escaped if we’d let her loose; but the dog was tired after log walks each day so happy to rest indoors rather than run around outside!

Great cottage in a fantastic location. Well equiped and nicely furnished, with very comfortable beds. Lovely spacious patio area with great views of the countryside. Would highly reccomend for somebody looking for a secluded peaceful getaway.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Erw-Dinmael. We loved how remote it was and it was a real treat having no neighbours other than the sheep and gorgeous little lambs! The house was beautiful and extremely well equipped, we made use of the log fire which was very cosy. We chose this area because we were already booked in at Zip World and the Forest Rollercoaster on the first day and then headed to the coast for a great day at Barmouth, fish and chips from Mermaids are the best! We would love to come back in the summer to enjoy more time out on the patio in the warm weather. My only comment would be to echo others regarding perhaps having a more secure area to let the dog out on the grass so as not to worry about upsetting the sheep but it certainly wouldn’t stop us returning at all. We hope to visit again and thank you to the hosts for their welcome gifts.
