Sleeping eight guests, it is ideal for an extended family, two families together or a group of friends eager to bring along a four-legged chum.

Call your waggy-tailed pal into the welcoming cottage and through to kitchen, which has a central island and breakfast bar. Let him enjoy his dinner while you prepare everyone else’s. There is a utility room here too with handy washing machine for doggy towels. Set the table in the conservatory for lively meals then settle down by the open fire in the library or the lounge, with your furry friend at your feet. There are Smart TVs in the lounge and playroom.

Stretch furry legs with long walks through the beautiful gardens then bask in the sunshine as the BBQ heats up. There is parking for four cars at the house.

Head up to the coast, 14 miles away, to let your pup bound free on certain sections of Pensarn Beach all year round. Pick up the Wales Coast Path here too and follow it with him for a spell.

What a cottage. Great surroundings with plenty of walks from the doorstep. Visited surrounding areas Conway, Llandudno and a stop of at Abergelee on the way home. The Lodge caters for large groups with a superb kitchen which is the heart of the Lodge. Two magnificent log fires to sit by and cosy up to on a chilly day. Five stars from the May family

This is a fabulous place to stay. The location is perfect; quiet, rural and beautiful for walks and relaxing. The Lodge is well equipped, with lots of basics provided for cooking, making that first night so easy. And the welcome hamper, fresh flowers and surprise cake in the fridge was such a lovely touch. We will definitely be going back!

What a lovely house in a lovely location. Walks from the door are great, and the river and wildlife it attracts is wonderful to see. It was too hot one day so we stayed at the cottage and it still felt as if we were on holiday as it is so spacious.

Far enough away from town to be peaceful yet close enough to Denbigh for a food shop or take away. Perfect! Hide

This "cottage" is one of the best my family and I have stayed at. Lovely bedrooms, bathrooms etc., fabulous view from the kitchen. Tranquil, just the place to switch off from everyday stresses and read a good book or two. Very thoughtful and delicious welcome basket.
