Probably the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in, couldn't fault it. Very quaint, cosy, super contained garden - very safe for both dogs & children. On the edge of a small village, so plenty of owls hooting at night and if you're lucky you might see a visiting fox/badger. Plenty of good walks & sights, Wepre Park, Loggerheads, Flint CastleRead more to name but a few. We can recommend The Pet Cemetery Tearooms just up the road - excellent food, lovely young staff, beautiful grounds to wander in. Hide
