Follow the cobbled path up to the porch area, where you can discard any coats and boots after your journey. Be welcomed into the large living/dining room, where you can look forward to relaxing on the plush sofas as you recount the days adventures in front of the crackling woodburning stove. Move through to the fully-equipped kitchen, featuring a beautiful wooodburning stove for cooler evenings, where the chef of the group will have all they need to create a delicious feast, ready to enjoy at the dining table over bottles of celebratory fizz to toast to your unique setting. On warmer days, why not dine alfresco out in the vast gardens, where you can soak up the sunshine and appreciate the stunning countryside views as your canine companions run and play? Completing the ground floor is a study, where those who want to check in on work can do so thanks to the super-fast WiFi. Make your way up to the first floor, where you can unwind with a soak in the gorgeous freestanding bath, or freshen up in the large walk-in shower, perfect after a day of exploring your surroundings. On this floor, you will find three character-filled rooms, a king-size, a family room with king-size and single, and a child’s bunk, all with traditional wooden flooring, feature fireplaces and exposed beams at every turn.

Pontblyddyn is a small, picturesque village located between Mold and Wrexham, not far from Leeswood. Plas Teg, a Grade I listed building from 1610 and one of the most haunted houses in Wales, is located in a nearby village that has become known for its association with this historic landmark. Additionally, there are shops and a pub (The Bridge Inn) in the village for those nights when you just don't feel like cooking. Mold Castle and numerous cafes, restaurants, and bars, such as The Fat Boar and the Queens Head Inn, can be found in the nearby town of Mold, which is easily accessible by car from the village. Wrexham is also worth visiting because it is home to the National Trust's Erddig, a vast 18th-century manor with a tourable, ornamental 12,000-acre garden; the Ty Pawb art gallery; and the Eagles Meadow shopping centre, which features many well-known retailers.
