“We had a lovely stay and the cottage was fantastic.”

Clean and well equipped with everything we needed including a welcome box of different treats, and delicious eggs which were layed by the owners chickens. Yummy! It was nice to see the friendly dogs running around. We would highly recommend this cottage.

“It was a lovely cottage.”

It had everything we needed. Well equipped kitchen. Gwenda was very friendly. Unfortunately the weather proved to be very windy, heavy rain and cold from Sunday to Thursday. (The weather wasn't anything like the forecast that was given). We even had hailstones. Gwenda willingly provided us with an extra duvet as the temperature dropped in the night to 7c. It was a perfect place to stay, very quiet and peaceful. (I had just lost my brother so needed the holiday to come to terms with my loss). Gwenda recommended local restaurants. These restaurants provided lovely meals. Great place.

“Perfect place to enjoy a relaxing, quiet, out of the way break near the Welsh north coast.”

The cottage was spotless and had everything you needed (bar a veg peeler!!), nice well equipt kitchen, comfy lounge with a big TV, outside patio and seating area, big bath and shower and plentiful hot water, large comfy bed and plenty of storage. The hosts (Gwenda and Phil) were lovely too, helping out with information and providing a welcome hamper full of local goodies. They even helped me arrange some flowers to be delivered and booked a table at the local (15 mins walk) pub and their daughter made us some yummy cakes for our anniversary (Thank you again..) so, all in all a lovely relaxing week and highly recommended

“We've had an absolutely lovely week in Ash Cottage.”

It was spacious, clean and had everything you'd need for a weeks stay. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and their adorable dogs and there was a lovely tray of treats waiting for us. There was also freshmilk in the fridge. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage to our friends and family and we'll probably be back ourselves at some point. Thank you

“My stay at Ash Farm Cottage was an excellent stay.”

The Owners and of the Cottage are very kind and do their utmost to make your stay perfect. Their dogs are lovely, friendly and gentle. The Cottage is in a beautiful and quiet location and yet not far from Holywell and other near-by villages. There is also good parking space within the gated space in front of the cottage. It was so very welcoming to find two boxes filled with bread, coffee and chocolate sachets, jam, biscuits and, of course, fresh eggs from Ash Farm's own hens, on my arrival. I certainly recommend a stay at Ash Farm Cottage. It is suitable not only for two persons but also for solo visitors.

“Ash Farm Cottage was an absolute joy to stay in.”

Everything, and more, you required for a comfortable stay was catered for. We were greeted with a superb welcome pack, milk, welsh biscuits, eggs and a great deal more. We would have no hesitation in booking again, and would certainly recommend a stay to anyone who would like a quiet, but convenient rural retreat.

“A beautiful clean, well equipped cottage.”

The Welcome Pack was really appreciated. Our only disappointment was that, due to poor weather, we were not able to make useful of the excellent outside facilities and fully appreciate the locality.

“Ash Farm cottage is a credit to its owners.”

A lovely place to stay, very clean and beautifully presented. All that you need for your stay and a bonus welcome pack on arrival was a real plus point The owners were lovely, very approachable and knowledgeable. We used the cottage as a base for exploring North Wales and would highly recommend staying as this beautiful cottage. Secure off street parking and If you are dog lovers there is a bonus of some very friendly and docile dogs that were never a problem. We really enjoyed our stay at Ash Farm cottage and would definitely return again when we are able too Tim and Gill

“A lovely warm welcome from Gwenda and the best behaved dogs we have ever met.”

The cottage is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. You can see a great deal of thought has been given into equipping the cottage and it has worked. 10 out of 10 is not a high enough score. Walk in, unpack and enjoy, we did. Already planning to return next year. Thank you Gwenda, Phil and Tara. Sylvia & Alan

Katherine August 2020

“We had a great stay at Ash Farm cottage.”

The cottage is clean, modern and cosy inside. We were greeted with a welcome hamper on arrival which was much appreciated. Phil and Gwenda were very welcoming and shared some tips on local walks and places to eat. It's a great location because you have complete peace and quiet at the cottage but are within easy access of the Clwydian hills, north Wales, Chester and Snowdonia. We'd definitely recommend staying here.

The property

Caerwys 3.4 miles / Holywell 3.5 miles / Mold 9 miles.

Ash Farm Cottage is an attractive annexe situated in the rural village of Lixwm in the lovely county of Flintshire, Wales.

With its picture-perfect surroundings and a delightful interior with charming exposed beams, this dwelling is the perfect place to escape on a romantic retreat to the luscious green countryside of Wales.

Enter through the front door and into the handy utility room where you can kick off your boots after an exhilarating walk and put on a quick load of washing, so you won't have to worry about chores upon your return home.

Here, you will also find a handy cloakroom with hand basin and WC.

Make your way into the kitted-out kitchen and let the kettle boil as you prepare a tasty sandwich on the pretty granite worktops, before taking a seat at the dining table and flicking on the TV for some background noise as you map out your adventures for the days to come.

Retire to the sitting room and snuggle on the sofa whilst your other half starts up the electric fire and finds a captivating movie for the both of you to enjoy on the flat-screen TV; the sitting room is home to a corner sofa doubling up as a sofa bed for flexible sleeping arrangements.

Spend the evening laughing with one another as you play board games and work as a team in the kitchen to whip up a meal for two, whilst cracking open a bottle of wine and toasting to precious moments spent together.

Climb the staircase to the first floor to discover a tranquil bathroom to freshen up with a shower or while away the hour with a soak in the corner bath.

Wander through to the double bedroom to select an outfit from the spacious fitted wardrobes, before sitting at the dressing table and taking your time to get ready for a wonderful evening of wining and dining in one of the local village pubs.

Make the most of the shared garden space on warmer days or light up the barbecue and dine alfresco on your private patio.

Close to the border of the English county of Cheshire, there are many luscious walks for you to embark on during your stay.

Take a leisurely stroll along Offas Dyke or Climb Moel Arthur Hill Fort, admiring the outstanding scenery along the way.

Hop in the car for a short drive to one of the many neighbouring towns to explore before grabbing a bite to eat in one of the local eateries.

You could then head on to Greenfield to view the medieval remains of Basingwerk Abbey and the stunning Greenfield Valley Heritage Park, before heading back to the annexe for a cosy night indoors.

For an unforgettable break with a loved one, stay at Ash Farm Cottage.
