Woodpecker Cottage is a converted 19th-century barn in the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley National Landscape. This romantic retreat for two sits on the outskirts of Llangollen in North Wales. The property offers mountain views across the Dee Valley and welcomes one well-behaved dog.

The Vale of Llangollen provides access to Offa's Dyke Path and the River Dee. Llangollen Canal runs nearby. You can explore mountain biking trails at Llandegla or try whitewater rafting. The area sits less than an hour from Snowdonia National Park.

The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area with an electric fire and TV. Upstairs you'll find a king-size bedroom in the eaves with exposed beams and a Velux window. The en-suite bathroom has a freestanding bath with shower over. Off-road parking accommodates four cars. Outside there's a courtyard with furniture and access to a fenced paddock section.

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct World Heritage Site is 5 miles away (12 minutes). Visit Llangollen Railway (2 miles, 6 minutes), Castell Dinas Brân (2.5 miles, 8 minutes) or Chirk Castle (7 miles, 15 minutes).

Woodpecker Cottage suits couples wanting peaceful countryside accommodation with walking and outdoor activities on the doorstep.
