About this property
Set at Forge Farm in the village of Bodfari, The Studio Cottage is a characterful, dog-friendly retreat offering countryside views and a welcoming base for exploring North Wales. Sleeping four guests in two bedrooms, it is ideal for couples, families or friends looking to enjoy countryside walks, historic towns and days by the coast.
With Offa’s Dyke Path on your doorstep, the cottage is particularly well placed for walkers. Discover the beautiful Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape, formerly known as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its rolling hills, scenic trails and far-reaching views.
Inside, exposed stonework gives the sitting room its distinctive character, creating a comfortable place to unwind after a day exploring. Enjoy a relaxed evening with the cottage’s two smart TVs, or stay connected using the fast Wi-Fi. Oil-fired central heating makes this a cosy retreat throughout the year.
The kitchen and dining area provides everything needed for a self-catering stay, including a gas range cooker, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, with space to gather over breakfast or an evening meal.
The two bedrooms comprise a king-size room and a twin room, comfortably accommodating up to four guests. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, with bed linen and towels included.
Outside, guests have access to the owners’ neighbouring field for enjoying the countryside and exercising their dog. One well-behaved dog is welcome, and off-road parking is available for two cars. The owners live in the neighbouring farmhouse and are on hand if you need assistance or local advice, while respecting your privacy.
The nearby Dinorben Arms in Bodfari is a lovely option for a meal out. Caerwys, Denbigh and Ruthin offer further opportunities to explore local shops, historic streets and places to eat, with Denbigh Castle and Ruthin’s heritage attractions making enjoyable days out.
Convenient access to the A55 also makes the cottage a useful base for exploring further afield. Enjoy a coastal outing to Conwy and its marina, visit Llandudno, or discover the beaches and seaside towns along the North Wales coast before returning to your countryside retreat.
Whether you are planning a walking holiday, a family break or a relaxing escape with your dog, The Studio Cottage combines rural character with a convenient location for discovering North Wales.
The small village of Bodfari is peacefully located in the lovely Vale of Clwyd, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, beneath the imposing Clwydian Hill Range. Steeped in history, the village has taken on many roles, such as a Celtic camp in 500 BC and a Roman encampment, while the original Church of St Stephen pre-dates the Norman Conquest. Today, this pleasant village is home to a pottery gallery, whilst the surrounding area boasts a range of good country pubs and eateries. The Offa's Dyke Pathway is easily accessible and the ancient market town of Denbigh, with its celebrated 13th century castle and pretty streets littered with shops, pubs and restaurants, is just 4 miles away. Endless, beautiful countryside surrounds this lovely area, which offers excellent walking, cycling, fishing, and nature and bird watching opportunities. This is a wonderful base from which to explore the whole of North Wales and the Roman City of Chester.
