Is The Old Barn Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

The Old Barn offers plenty of space for children to play across three floors. The large grounds provide outdoor exploration opportunities. Kids can enjoy the sauna under supervision. The weak Wi-Fi actually encourages children to engage in traditional play rather than screens. The property's layout means adults and children can spread out comfortably. Nearby Loggerheads Country Park offers family walks and nature activities just 8 miles away.

For Couples

While The Old Barn sleeps 12, couples seeking a romantic retreat might find the property too large for just two people. The hot tub and sauna create relaxing moments together. The conservatory offers stunning countryside views perfect for quiet evenings. The woodburning stove adds atmosphere to cosy nights in. However, smaller couples would likely prefer more intimate accommodation. This property works best when shared with other couples or family groups.

Pet Friendly

The property information provided does not confirm whether The Old Barn accepts pets. You must contact the owners directly before booking if you plan to bring your dog.

The Old Barn Reviews

Claire

The cottage was beautiful and the views were stunning. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the travel cot which was provided. The garden could do with a little fence at the bottom just to stop balls or kids wandering onto the drive. The neighbours did drive by very fast and gave us a bit of a surprise when we were playing with our toddler and dogs. Didn't stop us playing but we were careful. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars was the main bedroom being in the basement far away from the other bedrooms. As we wanted to be closer to our toddler we couldn't use it. The stairs to the basement are open and it would be nicer if this felt more like part of the house. The other thing to note was phone reception and internet was poor. So it was tricky to plan days and book restaurants etc. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend. We really enjoyed a trip on the stream train and a visit to chirk castle. Food at the White Horse was delicious! Recommend booking a table.

Nicola

Great stay at the Old Barn. Stunning views, perfect spot if you want a quiet break, in a beautiful area, with lots of walks. There are a fair few places to go for a coffee, meal, a beer, all within a few minutes drive. Just a 30 minute drive and there are lots of villagetowns to visit, our favourite was Llangollan. The house was lovely, comfortable beds, spacious, plenty of space for all us 8 and a dog. Great to have the hot tub and the sauna, they were both used. Thank you for letting us rent The Old Barn.

Large versatile property spread out over three floors. Sat on a slight hill, there are lovely farreaching views from the eating area and conservatory. The kitchen Rayburn plus modern cooking facilities made this a warm property in the living areas, especially with the woodburner, which made our Winter booking more pleasurable. The main bathroom and downstairs appear new and super clean, thank you. Beds and sheets are top quality. Clean, maintained hot tub a fave. A few of us tried the new sauna. We had previous arrival concern over wifi from previous comments, but between six adult scrollers & the telly managed fine. Excellent communication from owners. Thank for extended Family memories.

Adrian

Fabulous hone away from home for Christmas! Lots of room for both adults and children to play, gather and eat. Beautifully decorated, lovely bedrooms and extremely wellstocked kitchen! The hot tub and sauna are a bonus after long country walks and the views to die for! Excellent communication from Leanne and Claire would definitely book again!

Ashleigh

An absolutely beautiful property, a few niggles r. E facilities that I've already relayed to the owners but nothing major. Would definitely stay again!

Christopher

Amazing house in a beautiful location. Our only slight niggle was the poor Internet connection but theres probably not much to be done about that really!

Absolutley beautiful bungalow, spotlessly clean with everything well thought out,fresh clean bedding and towels, the beds were so very comfortable sublime breathtaking views all around, a magnificant gem for relaxation, fantastic Sauna and Hot Tub again spotlessly clean. The owners Leanne and Claire are wonderful so very helpful and thoughtful, you can tell they have put alot of love and care into their holiday home. This is one not to be missed and you will not be disapointed... we will be going back for sure. Thank you to Sykes and Thank you to the Girls. Nina Smith 5

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house with our family of 12. The stunning scenery took our breath away, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The beds were incredibly comfy, ensuring everyone had a restful nights sleep. I would definitely recommend the Old Barn for a family getaway theres ample space for everyone to relax. The house had delightful amenities like a sauna and hot tub, and we appreciated the thoughtful gesture of Welsh bread and cakes left for us as a welcome treat. The only minor downsides were the dishwasher, which was a bit finicky, and the oven, which was on the smaller side. Nonetheless, we successfully prepared a roast dinner for all 12 of us and enjoyed it together around the large dining table, thanks to the wellequipped kitchen. While the WiFi signal was weak, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the kids actually engaged in play instead of being glued to their phones. Overall, a memorable experience!

Amazing place with great views around. Cannot fault anything and having a hot tub and Sauna made our stay more enjoyable and an extra advantage. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a top notch accommodation in Ruthin area. Would visit again in future.
