Our farmhouse near Llanfair Talhaiarn sleeps 16, surrounded by 40 acres of peaceful, private North Wales countryside. It's a place for family holidays, catching up with friends and long, unhurried days together.
Over the past five years, we've been letting the land return to nature after years of grazing, and watching it come back to life has been a joy. Newly built paths lead through the fields, up the hill and into the woods. Take the dogs out before breakfast, wander with the children or head off on your own for a little peace and quiet. You can have a good walk without ever getting in the car.
Back at the house, the large open plan kitchen and dining space has room for everyone around the table. There are two generous living spaces, too: a cosy TV and cinema room for settling into a film, and a large, comfortable conservatory for a book, a conversation or an evening that carries on into the small hours.
We've put thought into making the house easier for different generations to share. The downstairs living spaces have no internal steps, and there's a ground-floor bedroom and walk-in shower. Several doorways have also been widened. If you have particular access needs, please get in touch so we can talk through the layout with you.
We've recently renovated the farmhouse to help make your stay more environmentally friendly, replacing fossil fuel heating with a ground source heat pump and generating electricity from solar panels on site. We also installed two EV charging stations. Alongside rewilding the land, it's part of our commitment to looking after this beautiful corner of North Wales.
Dogs are very much part of the holiday here. Four are welcome as standard, and additional dogs can join you for a small extra charge. With walks from the doorstep and so much countryside to explore, they'll sleep well too.
Outside, the large furnished patio is a lovely spot for a barbecue, a drink in the evening sun or a few more stories around the fire. Children have swings, monkey bars and a big tractor-tyre sandpit to keep them busy, as well as the woods to explore. Table tennis and table football tend to bring out a competitive streak in the grown-ups as well.
When you feel like venturing further, there's plenty to fill a day: beaches along the North Wales coast, walks in Eryri (Snowdonia), a wander around Conwy and its castle, or a seaside afternoon in Llandudno. Zip World, Manorafon Farm Park and Gwrych Castle offer more options for days out together.
But you might find your favourite days are the ones spent here: a walk, a meal together, the dogs dozing and some quality time with your favourite people.
