A luxury one bedroom holiday cottage in a converted 19th century barn which is a perfect country hideaway for couples or solo travellers. Only a short distance away from Llangollen, the cottage offers the perfect mix of peaceful countryside and access to the amenities of the popular tourist town.
Downstairs, the cottage has a large open plan living/dining area with a comfy sofa and chair, an oak fireplace and underfloor heating. There is also a TV and free WiFi. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essential required for a self-catering stay. There is an oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, fridge freezer and washing machine.
The bedroom with king-sized bed is located upstairs and enjoys exposed oak beams, and stunning views of Castell Dinas Bran, the Dee Valley and the surrounding mountains with stunning sunrises and sunsets over the valley. The bedroom can also take a small cot (not provided), making the cottage suitable for families with a small infant. Roll out type stairgates are fitted to the top & bottom of the staircase. Off the bedroom is the en-suite bathroom with feature double end roll top bath and an over-bath shower.
Outside there is an enclosed, paved courtyard with garden furniture and steps leading up to the private parking area for the cottage.
Towels and bed linen are provided at no extra charge. We also provide a complimentary welcome pack for all our guests which contains some locally sourced luxuries.
The cottage accepts one well-behaved dog. (Dogs are not permitted upstairs & are not to be left in the property alone).
As the barn is situated in a rural area surrounded by working farms, we politely ask that guests keep to lanes and public footpaths and that dogs are kept on a lead when exploring the local area. The cottage is equipped with plenty of local maps, guides and suggested routes to help you enjoy this stunning corner of Wales.

Cosy Cottage
Spacious accommodation especially the bedroom with a lovely bathroom. Kitchen well equipped with a nice big fridge/freezer. Quiet and peaceful location. The owner Martin is very helpful and he left us milk, welsh cakes on our arrival plus a fantastic selection of teas and coffee.
Broadband intermittent, you really need to use own 4G.

Wunderschönes Cottage bei Llangollen
Das Cottage liegt in den Bergen mit wundervollem Blick auf Llangollen. Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig, zu hören sind nur die Schafe. Das Cottage ist geräumig, sauber und liebevoll eingerostet. Der Vermieter Martin ist sehr freundlich und immer zu einem Gespräch bereit.

We were attending a wedding in Llangollen and Woodpecker Cottage was perfect for our stay
The location was perfect, very quiet and peaceful. The cottage was absolutely charming. Home from home. Could have stayed longer.
There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. It was perfect for us.
