Catherine, Michael & daughter Katie invite you to stay and enjoy our renovated family home which dates back to 1832. The B&B has been offering four star Visit Wales Bed and Breakfast accommodation since 2009 and is set in beautiful rolling countryside near the picturesque town of Ruthin, North Wales.

The annexe has also undergone a refurbishment during 2015 and we are now able to offer guests the option of a self-catering cottage which adjoins the main house.

Cedar Cottage is lovely, very much home from home. Catherine is friendly and on hand if you need any guidance. We have stayed before in the B&B which we also enjoyed.

I can't remember how many times I've stayed with Catherine and Mike. It is simply home away from home.
Clipper fair trade hot chocolate in my room is a good place to start!
Opening my window in the morning, winter sun - just - on the hill opposite, the only sound, the stream outside.
Homemade bread, a host who clearly cares about their guests - simple things make this place special.
Thank you again.
