Is Abbey Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Children love the games room with three-quarter size snooker table, table tennis, darts and table football. The first-floor playroom has books, games and a Wii console. The huge enclosed garden provides safe space for outdoor play. Denbigh Castle is a 10-minute walk for exploring. Nearby attractions include Welsh Mountain Zoo and Llandudno's pier and beaches.

For Couples

Abbey Cottage works better for groups than couples due to its size. The property sleeps 11 across five bedrooms making it impractical for two people. The historic setting with friary ruins and peaceful gardens offers atmosphere but the scale and layout suit families or larger parties rather than romantic getaways.

Pet Friendly

Dogs are very welcome at Abbey Cottage. The almost one-acre enclosed garden with secure boundaries provides excellent safe space for dogs to explore and run freely. Multiple guests praised the garden as perfect for their pets. The rural feel combined with proximity to walking routes in the Clwydian Range makes this an outstanding base for dog owners.

Gordon

This was a fabulous house and a great trip away for us. We absolutely loved the whole experience from the moment we got there. It was central to lots of places so we were out and about throughout our week and there were also lovely eating places nearly and plenty of supermarkets if you wanted to eat in. Would definitely recommend and we will certainly consider going back again. Thanks for having us.

Nicola

We had a great break. Very comfortable accommodation with everything you need. So much space. The dog loved the garden. Great location for exploring North Wales.

Charlotte

We have just returned from our second holiday at Abbey Cottage and it was just as amazing as we remembered! The property provided us with a fantastic base and hours of fun playing snooker, pool, darts, table tennis and basketball. The house had a good layout and felt very spacious even with a large group of people. The garden was massive and great to explore especially for the dog. We all enjoyed a BBQ, local takeaways and restaurants as recommended. Useful to have the EV charger at the property too. Communication was great with the owner before, during and after the holiday. We would love to return for a third time!

Anthony

As a family of four adults ,three children and two dogs we enjoyed the spaciousness and facilities at Abbey Cottage. The boys particularly enjoyed the pool table & table tennis table. There is also a play room which the youngest enjoyed. Abbey Cottage is well located for touring North Wales. Denbigh itself has a castle and the history of Abbey Cottage is fascinating. However, we feel that the photographs on the website need to be updated and the Sykes rating should be reviewed. The property left a lot to be desired in the standard of cleanliness. The property is in need of general TLC, Kitchen chairs need replacing, the large sofa in the family room is badly worn and dirty. We could only use two of the three bathrooms, due a shower not draining . If these things were addressed it would be an amazing property.

A great property for large family groups with plenty of games pool table a great feature. A unique quiet oasis in the town. For me, a major aspect was the EV charger essential as there is a sparsity of chargers in that part of Wales

Lovely old cottage in a beautiful location with interesting history close to the friary. Garden area was well kept and peaceful. The cottage has ample rooms for a large group which were clean and tidy. Beds were clean and comfy. Kitchen was well equipped for self catering. Large sittingliving room with plenty of sofas. Games room had a great pool table. Good location for exploring north wales. We had a fantastic weekend there and would definitely go again.

The bedding could do with an upgrade duvets and pillows not comfortable mattresses are fine though. A vanity unit in one of the bedrooms would be good to be able to sit down to do hair and makeup or at least a mirror in the main bathroom near the window. An additional downstairs cloakroom would be a real added bonus.

Fantastic property, we enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house all the facilities are great and for the age of house everything is in character. Ian the owner came to great us and explained how things work the grounds were very good and the old Abbey is great to see, shops and local amenities very close and easy to walk too.

Ian the owner of the cottage was more than helpful when we arrived, nothing was too much trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to anyone.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Abbey Cottage, it was clean, spacious and close to all the facilities Denbigh town has to offer. Ian was welcoming and kindly met us on arrival to show us around! We will definitely be back again next year!

Beverly

My family and I had a lovely stay at abbey cottage. I personally loved the thought of being only 5 minutes away from village and local amenities yet the feeling of being in the countryside. The grounds were lovely, cottage was comfortable and spacious enough that even though we were there together as a family we werent falling over each other.We will definitely stay again, also thought the hens eggs were a lovely welcoming start from the owner Mr Carpenter.

Charlotte

We had an amazing holiday staying at Abbey Cottage. We were a party of 6 adults, 2 children and a dog. The house was very spacious and we all felt like we had our own private spaces as well as having the lounge, dining table and games room as places to gather together. We spent lots of time playing pool, snooker, darts and table tennis which kept us all entertained. We also made use of the free starter pack and enjoyed a lovely barbecue out in the garden. As one of us have an electric car, we found having the charger at the house really useful. The house is in a great location and we had some lovely days out. We enjoyed a meal out at the Dinorben Arms as recommended and it was fantastic! The local takeaways were good too. We would definitely recommend and would love to return one day. Thank you!

We had an amazing week at Abbey Cottage. The house is beautiful and in a perfect location to explore North Wales. Mr Carpenter met us on arrival to go through some things which was very helpful especially given how much more advanced they are in Wales with recycling! The toilet flushing situation upstairs and the regular smell of the septic tank was a bit off putting but understandable in such an old house. The garden is massive and beautiful but we felt that a bit more maintenance was needed there were nettles everywhere and with young children that was a problem. The ponds were also cause for concern with young children and dogs. Overall we had a fabulous week we would definitely recommend the cottage for large groups celebrating special occasions or just wanting to get to know North Wales.

A beautiful house with a beautiful garden. We are an extended family of 11 we all fitted comfortably in the house. The kitchen is well equipped. With various pots pans and crockery. The garden reminded me of the story the secret garden. There are two small ponds but we were just extra careful with the smaller children in our party. We had a little issue with the TV and I messaged the owner it was fixed within 2 hours as he respected our privacy and waited until we had gone out for lunch A brilliant peaceful family break.

Excellent property for a group stay. Fantastic private garden with lots of space. The cottage gives you room for different people to have their own space. Kitchen facilities are very good. Having a Friary within the grounds is so unique. The owner gave a friendly welcome explaining where everything is. My family all enjoyed their stay. You have the lovely town of Denbigh within walking distance and beautiful North Wales all around you if you can tear yourself away from just enjoying the beautiful Cottage and gardens

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Abbey Cottage. The interior space is fantastic but would benefit from some new furniture and bed linen to give more comfort. Overall, the house and gardens are a perfect space for a large family.

Joanne

A really enjoyable stay. A couple of hiccups. Instructions to heating the water not detailed enough. The first showers were cold. Host was quick to send further instructions. No instructions for the microwave ideally putting the instructions on the shelf above the microwave would have been useful.

We had a great stay at Abbey cottage. Absolutely would not hesitate to book again and could not recommend highly enough.

Enjoyed a mini break at Abbey Cottage with the family. Beautiful building and history. Easy location and great for using as a base if you want to explore North Wales. The darts, table tennis, snooker table etc were a great hit with adults and children, especially on the rainy mornings! Unfortunately didn't make much use of the garden due to the weather but it looked lovely. It's previously been a clearly loved home so maybe some updates would be nice, but everything we needed was provided and Ian was great at handing over when we arrived. Managed to fit in a Denbigh castle visit and dinner stop at the Copper Pot before leaving on the Thursday

We booked Abbey Cottage for a 60th birthday family get together. Adults and children alike had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend using the facilities on offer.

Christine

We had a delightful stay. Grandchildren particularly enjoyed playing Hide and Seek and the playroom. We all slept and ate well. Husband appreciated ground floor ensuite bedroom no stairs to climb and easy access to the garden for the dogs. Thank you.

Siobhan

Beautiful old house with real character. Very comfy and spacious. Games room was great. Handy for town and shops. Lovely Italian restaurant 5 minutes walk away. Only downstairs toilet is an en suite which is not ideal.

Tracey

We had a lovely family stay at Abbey Cottage for my father in laws 70th birthday. The house was lovely and unique with lots of space for a family of 10. The garden was amazing and great for our 2 dogs as fully enclosed and safe. I delt with a gentleman named Ian who was friendly and helpful. The one issue we had was a bed broke. This was down to it being a childs bed I think and an 5ft 8inch adult sleeping in it. The room with the 3 single beds either need to be advertised as a childs room or more substantial single beds need putting in. This however wasnt an issue and Ian was more than happy to help. We would highly recommend this cottage, we had a great time and definitely would return

Arlene

Abbey Cottage is a beautiful old building full of character and history. Although large and spacious with stunning features the cottage is warm and cosy with a relaxing, friendly feel to it. We had a wonderful stay and made to feel extremely welcome. Cottage is close to all amenities but down a quiet lane so feels very secluded and picturesque with the amazing friary ruins in front garden and beautiful gardens at the rear. We will definitely be returning.

I spent ages searching for the right accomodation for our family gathering and this one definitely lived up to expectations. A beautiful spacious property which worked well for all ages from 5 months to 85 years. I loved the fact it was a peaceful location and felt rural at the end of the long driveway but essentials were nearby as it was only 5 minutes walk away to the nearest shop, takeaway and pub!

Jonathan

We had a great stay the house and grounds were amazing full of character. Would love to visit again one day

Stephen

Fantastic family property plenty of room and facilities. Had a fantastic birthday party for my sons 30th and daughters 24th. My other son and all partners there with grandkids and dog. Still plenty of room to lose yourself. Secluded location but close to all amenities, very friendly owner who met us on the day Mr Carpenter great holiday.

I would like to congratulate your photographer because this house looked really ... I would like to congratulate your photographer because this house looked really good online This could be such an amazing quirky house but so many small details let it down Hygiene was really not good carpets were filthy bedding was stained and could do with replacing paint work was dirty and shabby Bedrooms were very dusty Broken plug socket dangerous to the young children in our party there is a long hole between wall and ceiling in the kitchen The house was so well equipped with books, games, beautiful Denby pottery loads of kitchen equipment

Pauline

A lovelyrustic property, very spacious but some things basic, plumbing loud and strange, probably due to adapting a quirky old property. We had a lovely visit, billiards and games great fun, garden very peaceful, would happily return. Italian restaurant is excellent and only 250 yards away!

All 3 generations enjoyed this cottage. So private and yet so near shops, cafes and lovely scenery. As the weather was mixed, we enjoyed the games room and the second sitting room for down time. The only minor problem was a mirror in the downstairs ensuite as it was far too high for any of us to use. Apart from that everything was wonderful.

Gaynor

Great communication and was there to do a show round on arrival. Also fixed broken curtain rail quickly.

Lorraine

Lovely family home suitable for all ages with lots to do. Comfy beds for good nights sleep, enough bathrooms and the table tennis and pool snooker where very popular across all ages

Graham

This property was just amazing. ..we loved everything about it. It had everything and more. The added games...snooker, darts etc was a cut above. The outside space is stunning and the history with the friary...fantastic

Me and my family had an amazing stay here at Abbey cottage, we would highly recommend. It is so beautiful and spacious with the most amazing garden. We loved sitting out at tea time while the children played. Theirs also an children's play room which our children were so excited about, they loved having a little room to play in just for them. So overall we have a lovely stay and will be telling our family and friends about this. Thanks for having us x

Robert

Brilliant property for me and my family, we all had a wonderful long weekend and would defo return. Perfect for large group with lots of games and activities provided for slightly rainy days! Beautiful big garden too, highly recommend!

Alison

House was beautiful and really well situated in the lovely town of Denbigh. Shops were a short walk and also a short walk to Denbigh castle which was great to visit. House had everything you could want, we visited with extended family and two dogs. The kids and adults loved the snooker table, table football, table tennis and darts, kept us entertained all weekend. The dogs adored the garden, what a fabulous enclosed space especially as the weather was so fantastic. It was amazing to sit in the house and look out at the ruins of a 13th century priory. The owners were great, communication via email and text. Very welcoming, even brought us cake, tea and coffee on arrival. In summary a perfect weekend spent with family in a beautiful house, would definitely recommend and hopefully return again for a family get together.

Sharon

Amazing property for a large family, owner very friendly. Accommodation was welll kept beautiful gardens. We all loved the games room and took full advantage of it

William

Our party consisted of eight adults, one toddler and two dogs. We all enjoyed the facilities. The toddler enjoyed the playroom. Adults enjoyed the games room in the evening. Lots of pleasant walks in the surrounding areas. lovely to sit out in the garden sunny late afternoons. Ian the owner very helpful. Seems everyone would like to return next year if possible.
