About this property

Llangollen 3.1 miles. Bryn Howell Stables is a gorgeous, detached barn conversion near Llangollen Canal in Trevor, Wrexham. This pet-friendly property boasts a woodburning stove, enclosed garden, and off-road parking for two cars, making it well-suited to families or groups of friends with their four-legged friend, on a peaceful, rural retreat in the luscious North Wales countryside. This 19th-century property has been lovingly renovated to create welcoming accommodation with character furnishings, whilst sympathetically retaining the original wooden beams to bring a touch of charm. Make your way down a country lane, open the wooden gate and step into Bryn Howell Stables, where countryside calm meets homely warmth.

A country cottage-style kitchen/diner comes fully equipped with all that you will need to cook and enjoy those deliciously hearty meals. Wooden fixtures, tiled flooring, and artwork on the walls add to the rustic charm. Gather around the circular table with views of greenery from the window, perfect for sharing stories after a day outdoors. Toss your plates to the dishwasher and relax in the sitting room, a bright and homely space adorned with pictures, a patterned rug, and your choice of armchair or one of the inviting sofas. Flick on the Smart TV and throw a log on the woodburning stove, set within a striking black and red fireplace, to toast your well-trekked toes.

Three bedrooms rest on the first floor of Bryn Howell Stables; a king-size with an en-suite shower room, twin (zip/link, can be king-size on request), and twin - each wrapped in luxury bed linen - making the perfect sleeping arrangements for a family getaway. The king-size room features exposed beams and Velux windows, inviting in natural light and framing views of the sky. The en-suite shower room also benefits from a Velux window, adding to the fresh and airy feel. To add to your comfort, every room boasts a stunning view of Dinas Bran. A fresh, neutrally coloured family bathroom concludes the accommodation with charm - choose to rinse off the day in a walk-in shower or soak and sink into the evening in a luscious bath.

Enjoy dining alfresco in the enclosed garden which offers beautiful views over the countryside and the Castell Dinas Bran ruin. Step out onto the patio and pull out a chair to take in the lovely rural views, perfect for morning coffee or evening meals. Store your bikes in the secure bike storage after a scenic cycle through the roaring hills and past National Trust properties, waiting to be explored from your doorstep. Pack some doggy treats and walking boots—there’s a wealth of walking routes right from the doorstep. Wander up to the dramatic ruins of Castell Dinas Bran, follow peaceful woodland trails, or take a short stroll to the nearby canal tow path, which offers a scenic walk into the heart of Llangollen.

Whether you're seeking panoramic hilltop views, riverside rambles, or quiet countryside lanes, there's a walk to suit every pace and mood. Llangollen itself is a fabulous town with plenty of quality amenities to make the most of, as well as popular attractions such as its museum and railway station both offering memorable days out. Enjoy day trips to Snowdonia, historic Chester, or Lakes Bala and Vyrnwy with ease from this splendid countryside cottage. For a peaceful and relaxing getaway in Wrexham, book a stay at Bryn Howell Stables.

Set on the boulder-strewn River Dee and with a wonderful mountainous backdrop, the pretty town of Llangollen offers a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, and is home to the internationally famous musical Eisteddfod, held annually. There is so much to do - take a horse-drawn boat trip down the canal, or tackle the walking or cycling routes up the Castell Dinas Bran, then enjoy the view from the top. For a more sedate day trip, head to the National Trust properties of Chirk Castle or Erddig.

  • Kay

    Ideally situated for a walking holiday into mid and North Wales without always having to drive to the starting point. The owners were very hospitable and friendly, even suggesting we could use their home grown produce from the garden whenever we wanted. An ideal place to relax and unwind.

  • Lucy

    We really appreciated the peace and tranquility of sitting out on the patio with stunning views. The location was perfect for shady dog walks along the neighbouring canal and easily accessible to local amenities. We had such a warm welcome from our hosts and would love to return for another relaxing break.

  • Paul

    The cottage is in such a lovely location with easy access to the canal for excellent walks along the towpath. It is so peaceful and relaxing. The cottage has everything you need to enjoy a nice break. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The homemade cake left as a welcome was delicious. We hope to return next year. Highly recommended.
