Friendly and obliging hosts. Easy access to the nearby town of Mold, and all major supermarkets and stores. Our little Staffy was most welcome & had plenty of grassy space (on her lead) to walk around and enjoy the country smells. Pretty surrounding countryside. Ideal location for travelling around North Wales, Chester, Liverpool & Manchester. Highly recommended.
