About this property
The Old Stables is a detached, stone-built cottage resting down a quiet backstreet in Ruthin, 100 metres from the high street. Situated within driving distance of the Snowdonia National Park, the North Wales coast and the city of Chester, this charming cottage is an excellent touring base for families or couples. As you enter into the open-plan living area, you will sense the character of the cottage through the exposed beams and feature fireplace; here you can sink into the sofas and enjoy a family favourite film before the designated chef of the group rustles up a delicious feast within the amply-equipped kitchen. Make your way upstairs to reach the bedrooms, comprising two doubles and single, serviced by a smart bathroom with choice of bath and shower over. The small enclosed courtyard provides a private spot to enjoy your morning beverage whilst browsing the day’s paper. If you fancy a night off cooking, then a short stroll will bring you to a selection of pubs and restaurants, catering for a variety of tastes, as well as some quirky independent shops worth a browse. For a spot of history, spend an afternoon at Ruthin Castle where you can explore the lovely gardens, ruins and woodland and admire the famous peacocks. Walkers will be interested in exploring the long-distance Clwydian Way and the beautiful Loggerheads Country Park, both within a 20-minute drive. If you’re a lover of the coast, then the beaches at Abergele, Rhyl and Colwyn Bay are worth a visit, but if you’re willing to travel a little further, then the popular seaside resort of Llandudno is excellent for a day out. The Old Stables is the perfect base for an adventure in Wales
Ruthin has its origins in the 13th Century and was a popular market-town. Evidence of its long and illustrious history can be found in the beams and brickwork in buildings throughout the town. Pendref Chapel is Ruthin's oldest chapel, dating back to around 1827. The town is now home to a number of shops, restaurants and pubs to try. Ample walking opportunity can be enjoyed at Lake Brenig, Moel Famau Country Park and Snowdonia National Park.
