A great location for couples and hounds this first floor apartment overlooks a large pond, ideal for fishing and perfect for your wet-nosed companion to play fetch in, there’s plenty of outdoor space to ensure everyone has a good dose of fresh air. Situated near the North Wales coast and within easy reach of Chester for popular high street shops, café culture and iconic attractions such as the zoo and Chester Racecourse. Closer to home you can enjoy walkies to the local pub, the village of Hawarden (1.8 miles) or onto Mold, a historical market village just 2 miles away and home to the Theatre Clywd.

External steps lead the way up into this petite retreat, a self-contained apartment which opens into a well-equipped kitchen that offers plenty of space to prepare meals and also tidy away coats, shoes, dog leads and toys. The welcoming lounge provides comfy seating for cosy nights in front of the TV and there is also a dining table with seating for two, so you can enjoy meals in a homely setting. During cooler months, let sleeping dogs lie in front of the electric wood burner effect fire. The property also boasts a restful double bedroom and contemporary style bathroom. Outside, go mutts over the spectacular views of the pond and rolling countryside beyond from your private deck where you can also dine out and cook up a storm on the BBQ. Directly under the apartment and accessed via the external steps, sits the utility area with room to store fishing equipment and bikes.

Set in a semi-rural location, just 1.8 miles from the village of Hawarden, which is famed for its castle and rich history and 2 miles from Mold, another historic town, there are plenty of great walking routes to sniff out during your stay. Just 6 miles away is the walled city of Chester, with its famous landmarks such the racecourse, Chester Zoo, its Roman Amphitheatre and the mass of beautiful Tudor buildings it is so synonymous with. Enjoy walkies along the river Dee or unleash bigger adventures and embark on a trip to Moel Famau, which sits less than 30 miles from the property.

Owners are a.lovely friendly couple not that we saw much of them. Weather wasn't kind to us this week but still enjoyed. Enjoyed the fishing. Also saw the Baluga aeroplane going over most days. Thanks for the holiday Jenny & iIeuan. See you again ( just got to say if you are not very good on your legs it is quite a steep stairway to the apartment )

Although i was staying mostly for work, the cottage was a pleasure, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Quite rural location and the added bonus of the fishing pond for a few hours to unwind at the end of the day. A lovely experience and I would gladly stay here again.

Our two day break at Fishermans Catch was great. The accommodation was immaculate and we had everything we needed for a relaxing break. We fished all day and caught beautiful healthy carp.

We had a really lovely week at Fisherman's catch. Jenny and the family made us feel very welcome and everything was super easy. The accommodation itself was perfect for us and ideally located. We stayed in August when there had been hardly any rain but the fishing did not disappoint, despite lower than normal water levels. We caught around 30 carp Read moreover 3 sessions, ranging from 1 - 6lb. On the hottest day Jenny thoughtfully provided an additional fan. Would definitely return! Hide

Absolutely loved our stay. The apartment was spotlessly clean, warm and furnished well.

What a lovely clean comfortable flat in a beautiful location. The fishing was good enhanced by watching the families of ducks and moorhens. The owners Jenny and Ieuan were so kind and welcoming, and the boys Tom and Owen are happy to sell you eggs from the chickens they care for. What a pleasure it has been to stay here. Thank you
