About this property
Just off the Denbigh Moors with Denbigh 4 miles away. Nestled down a quiet country lane, wrapped in sweeping green fields and rolling pastures of the idyllic North Wales countryside, is this traditional, detached and totally private cottage, tucked away near the thriving town of Denbigh. This charming 1824 stone-built cottage is simply perfect for those seeking a healthy break away with family and friends in a peaceful, rural location. There are gorgeous views across the hills, and a beautiful interior oozing character with a modernised finish.You will be delighted by the cosy setup from the moment you step through the door. Inside, guests will find two wonderful sitting rooms, one positioned on the first floor with access to a balcony, and one on the ground floor with a delightful woodburner in the Inglenook. Both sitting rooms are uplifted by large L-shaped sofas and bright refreshing colour schemes. A country cottage theme flows elegantly throughout. Make your way to the kitchen, designed for guests to gather together at the grand dining table to enjoy a fabulous set of integrated appliances and contemporary-style units. You will be impressed at the selection of flexible sleeping arrangements laid out in the five bedrooms. One is upstairs, four are downstairs, one being en-suite, served by a wonderfully modern bathroom with a tub, a large shower and quality, tiled finish. The town nearby offers a varied assortment of shops, bars, restaurants and pubs.The local is one of the oldest pubs in Wales, featuring its own in-house ghost, while the highest pub in Wales is also very close on the moors.In the town there are also the fascinating remains of a 13th century castle, commanding fabulous views out over picturesque landscapes including the Hiraethog mountains. If you fancy a day out at the seaside, Prestatyn and Llandudno are within easy reach. A day of shopping and exploring can be had in the historic city of Chester with its Roman Amphitheatre, charming Grosvenor Park, and the most visited zoo in the UK. For those who love walking and being outdoors there are many footpaths and bridleways in the immediate vicinity while Betws-y-Coed and Snowdonia National Park are an easy drive away. Right on the doorstep are the Denbigh Moors with the Llyn Brenig Activity Centre, and the beautiful Vale of Clwyd. This tremendous retreat makes an excellent base for touring North Wales and the North West.

Surely Garth Cottage has to be the perfect location for exploring the
region that, in 2017, Lonely Planet Traveller magazine deemed to be the
fourth best region in the whole world to visit
Denbigh is a busy little town, with a variety of shops and pubs, and a number of events including walking festivals, beer festivals, the Denbigh and Flint Annual Show, the Denbigh Plum Festival, and a monthly People's market.

Definitely has a homely country feel to it! The rural, secluded location is a hidden Welsh Gem! The views make you want to melt! Off a single lane farm track. (Minimal traffic) we saw 4 vehicles the whole time we were there 1 being the postie! So don't worry too much about the lane! There is a local town- say 9 mins by car. Where we collected fish and chips the first evening we stayed. (10/10) ( We popped into Rhyl while we waited for our 4pm check in time.) We ventured to Conwyn Castle the following day- then did a stop by stop on the way home passing through llandudno, Rhos on sea, Colwyn bay (old and new) Pensarns then back to Garth. Absolutely fantastic places-all well worth a day out each at, or a few hours at each! I really loved how the house was set out. A large entrance hall with a dinning table. This lead off to a large kitchen seating 11/12 easily as pictured. Every utensil you may need available. Amble storage for fresh/frozen and cupboard items. There were a good array of condiments left at the property. Salt pepper oil ect. This may not always be able but was there at least for us. (Good if you forget your own). Large seating area to the left of entrance hall with large, extremely comfortable corner sofa. To the right of the entrance hall is all the bedrooms. One is upstairs 2 singles 1 bulk bed. Along with a second seating area and larger corner sofa than the one downstairs with a larger t.v and sound system. All beds were excellent. The mattress luxurious. Bed sheets beautiful. Small touches elegant. Making it very welcoming. The welcome basket was as always- so so welcome! Amazing quality items! Lovely touch! We had a Internet issue-which was sorted immediately by Mick the owner via email, and calls. You seriously can not fault his handling of this issue-even being in the USA at time of fault occurring! Although not a huge drama for us as we were away and there to spend time with 3 generations of family! So talking and playing took up the need for any tech! There were fabulous games inside and outside. The kids had a cracking time on the large green, over looked by the resident sheep! There were a couple of cobwebs about but in My opinion this serves a purpose should any stray flies make it into the property-so no trouble at all for us seeing them or having them present! (Just wouldn't want anyone ridiculing the home for this reason! So forewarning- for anyone who is slightly precious about this sort of thing!) It's a home from home! Mick was amazing and a fabulous owner! Thank you both so much for having us. We wish you every success for the future and hope everyone who visits in future enjoys your property as much as we did. As mentioned in other reviews sat nav stops at wrong property (ou Mick find out WHAT3WORDS is for your property! That will certainly help future guests!) I forget to get them when I was there. Google may have the answer! ;) 1 lady and her dog- aka Claudia and family.

Everything was thought of for the guests, even the 'welcome pack' on the kitchen table Ideal for families that enjoy the countryside. We took the mountain bikes to Llyn Brenig and Llyn Alwen as they were only a 15-minute drive away from the cottage. Plenty of room in the fridge and the freezer and the kitchen was very stocked with equipment. All of the cottage bedrooms are good sized with plenty of wardrobe space and even had an upstairs TV and lounge for teenagers. Thankyou Marian and Mick for your hello email ! Forgot to say beautiful views over the valley.

The attention to detail with everything was just beautiful, so many extra touches that made us feel so welcome and gave great home comforts. Beds were all really comfy, shower in the main bathroom was good and sofas nice and comfortable too. We were a large family group ranging from 3 to 72 and everyone was really pleased with everything. Mick and Marian are wonderfully thoughtful hosts and we're already planning out next visit. Extremely well stocked kitchen made breakfast for 11 a breeze, the entire house was beautifully decorated for Christmas and felt extra special for the children with letter to Santa writing kits left out for them. Can't fault a thing, loved every minute.
