This stylish bolthole for two humans and one waggy-tailed chum is tucked away in the attic of a beautiful, 17th-century property in Ruthin. The ancient town sits on the edge of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape, meaning you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to scenic dog walks. Nearby paw-friendly attractions include Ruthin Castle and Ruthin Gaol (both within 0.5 miles).
This top-floor retreat is set in a characterful, Grade II-listed property and has a luxurious feel, with rich tones and an array of super-sleek furniture and accessories. Enter the property via a shared entrance and two flights of stairs, and into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This bright attic space features a beamed ceiling and mountain views. Unwind here, after a long dog walk, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, sharing meals at the bar stools by the window, or snuggling up on the velvet sofa. When it’s time for bed, retire to the elegant, king-size bedroom. There is a gorgeous vanity area with a sink here, and you’ll also have a separate wet room with a fabulous rainfall shower. There is a small patio area to the front of the property, and you’re also just 100 metres from the woof-friendly, Italian gardens of Ruthin Castle.
Grab the dog lead and head out for a stroll around the town to admire the fascinating Tudor architecture, amble along the river, or admire the local talent along the popular art trail. The town has a great range of independent shops and eateries, and you’ll find further opportunities for retail therapy and eating out in Mold (10 miles). The area is a paradise for walkers and four-pawed explorers, from peaceful routes through the colourful floral displays at Ruthin Park (0.5 miles) to exhilarating hikes at Moel Famau (9.5 miles).
