Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 8 - Lloc, Flintshire

Perfectly striking a balance between sophisticated and stylish, this contemporary cottage on the North Wales coastline is an exceptional choice for a restful break. Family-friendly with four fantastically presented bedrooms, one an accessible king-size with a shower room next door, this property hosts up to eight guests and ticks all kinds of boxes for larger group stays. It's also pet-friendly and offers an endless selection of engaging dog walks from its doorstep, including in the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape which is around 5 miles away.

Natural features including stable doors, oak floorboards and antique-style furnishings add to the traditional charm of this otherwise modern cottage. Pass by the pool table in the entranceway on your way into the property, making yourselves comfortable in the lovely lounge or the well-equipped kitchen. Any meals prepped in here can be enjoyed either in the designated dining room or out in the garden.

The gated garden is an appealing, enclosed space with mature flora all around it, complete with an outdoor dining set and a BBQ for the summer. Back indoors, pass the downstairs bedroom and bathroom as you make your way up to find the rest of the facilities. Three bedrooms complete the first floor, alongside one en-suite and one luxurious bathroom with a slipper bath.

Day trips can be enjoyed on both sides of the border, with the Welsh towns of Wrexham (23 miles) and Mold (11.5 miles) just as easily reached as Chester (20 miles) and Liverpool (27 miles). Moving towards the coastline, find numerous seaside delights in the neighbouring towns of Prestatyn (7 miles) and Rhyl (9.5 miles). Both offer beautiful beaches and family-ready attractions including a water park, a miniature railway and a local cinema and arts centre.
