About this property
Set in the waterfall village of Dyserth, a charming settlement resting on the outskirts of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley in North Wales, lies the lovely, two-bedroom holiday home of Aster Cottage. Featuring off-road parking for one car, well-appointed interiors, and an enclosed garden with seating and glass balustrade enjoying views of Anglesey, the Orme in Llandudno, as well as the historic sites of Gwrych and Rhuddlan Castle, this delightful property welcomes a family or group of three friends seeking a relaxing, self-catered escape to Denbighshire. Park up, unpack, and make yourself at home in your wonderful new dwelling, wherein you’ll find a fully-equipped kitchen complete with all the appliances you’ll need to rustle up a tasty, home-cooked meal. Savour your dinners either at the breakfast bar or dining table, before you settle down in the living/dining room to enjoy a film on the wall-mounted Smart TV as the day rolls into night. When sleep calls, head upstairs to rejuvenate with a soak in the bath, on your way to hunkering down for a much-needed rest in either a plush double or single bed. If you can tear yourself from your tranquil base, head out to explore what your local area has to offer. A brief walk into the centre of Dyserth will bring you to two convenience stores selling homely essentials, the award-winning Dyserth Butchers, Frankies Farm Shop where you can enjoy a spot of tea, several pubs including The New Inn, The Red, and Y Bodunig Inn, as well as the breath-taking Rhaeadr Dyserth Waterfall where you and your loved ones can grab an ice cream as you watch the waves cascade. You can also access the woods from the street, a perfect excursion for you and your canine companion. Further afield, jump in the car and head to the nearby sites of Moel Hiraddug, Twthill or the Rhuddlan Nature Reserve before you spend an afternoon exploring the many delights of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, home to Loggerheads Country Park, Vivod Mountain, Llangollen Museum, and the National Trust spot of Chirk Castle. During your stay, be sure to also stop by the beautiful location of Bodnant Garden on your journey into the breath-taking Eryri National Park, a stunning region home to iconic attractions such as Zip World Llechwedd, the Bala Lake Railway, and the awe-striking Aber Falls. All of this and more is yours to enjoy when you book Aster Cottage.
Dyserth is close to the lovely North Wales coast, four miles from the seaside town of Prestatyn. This pretty little village was mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086 and has ancient castle ruins, a stunning waterfall with quaint tea rooms next to it, two pubs both serving food and the Parish church of St Bridget with superb stained glass windows. There is easy access to lovely local walks including Offa’s Dyke Path, Gop Hill, Allt Y Craig and Golden Grove, where you can enjoy the fantastic scenery and vistas of the local area. Prestatyn, whose Blue Flag beach provides miles of golden sand, is ideal for bathing, water sports and fishing. The perfect base for touring the beautiful Snowdonia National Park, the Clwydian Hill Range, Victorian Llandudno, the Welsh Mountain Zoo or historic Chester with its wonderful shops and architecture. A fantastic area from which to explore the local countryside and amenities on offer along this North Wales coastline.

Perfect for a quiet relaxing break and perfect for our dogs, the view from the front decking is worth going for on its own. The cottage has been brilliantly refurbished, kitchen has everything, and the bath is fabulous. The view from the bedroom is stunning too. The neighbours are nice too, I would rather not recommend this property as I want to keep it for ourselves! 10/10.

The cottage was ideal for my dog as he could just watch the world pass by from the secure balcony. Just a couple of improvements for comfort would be to change the bed and mattress, the sofa probably needs repadding and the metal frame at the bottom of the stairs to the cottage tightening up. I would definitely go back there and stay.
