Cae Adar Farm

A characterful four-bedroom farmhouse for eight near Wrexham, with woodburning stoves and a games room

Set on the edge of Bwlchgwyn above Coedpoeth, Cae Adar Farm is a former working farmhouse that has been carefully brought up to date without losing an ounce of its country charm. Thick stone walls, low beamed ceilings, flagged floors and an inglenook fireplace sit alongside smart green kitchens, velvet sofas and a bright garden room, making it a genuinely relaxing base for a larger family or two households sharing. It lies roughly four miles west of Wrexham, on the doorstep of the Clwydian hills, so you get open countryside on the doorstep and a lively town a short drive away.

Sleeping up to eight across four bedrooms, and with two well-behaved dogs welcome, it suits multi-generational trips, walking groups and family celebrations where everyone wants their own space but still room to gather.

Inside the farmhouse

The heart of the house is its run of living spaces. A sitting room centres on a grand stone inglenook with a woodburning stove, while a second, more contemporary lounge has a further woodburner, a deep corner sofa and a smart TV — handy when the family wants two separate spaces of an evening. A snug with a chesterfield sofa gives a quieter corner for reading, and a light-filled summer room looks straight out over the enclosed garden.

Cooking is a pleasure in the farmhouse kitchen-diner, fitted with sage-green cabinetry, a range-style cooker, dishwasher and a solid wooden table that seats the whole party. There is a separate utility for muddy boots and dog towels. Characterful touches run throughout, from an antique dresser lined with blue-and-white china to a stone archway between rooms.

The four bedrooms are made up as two king-size doubles and two twins, so the layout flexes easily between couples, children and friends. Bathrooms are generous for a group of this size — a family bathroom plus a ground-floor bathroom and a separate ground-floor shower room, which also makes the house more workable for anyone who would rather avoid the stairs.

Walking country on the doorstep

Bwlchgwyn sits high on the western edge of Wrexham county, where the farmland gives way to the moors and limestone of the Clwydian Range. Footpaths lead almost from the gate, and within a short drive you can walk the wooded gorge at Nant y Ffrith, wander the dramatic valley at World’s End above Llangollen, or follow the trails at Loggerheads Country Park and the Minera limeworks. Ospreys, red kites and buzzards are a regular sight overhead.

For a day out with more to see, Wrexham town is only a few miles away, with its independent shops, the acclaimed Tŷ Pawb market and arts venue, and the football ground whose recent story has drawn visitors from around the world. Nearby you will also find Erddig, a much-loved National Trust hall and gardens, the medieval Chirk Castle, and the soaring Pontcysyllte Aqueduct — a UNESCO World Heritage Site you can walk or cruise across. Chester, Snowdonia and the Llangollen steam railway are all within comfortable reach for longer excursions. You will find more ideas on our Wrexham accommodation pages.

Good to know

The enclosed garden is a real bonus for families and dog owners, and the games room in the outbuilding keeps younger guests entertained on wet afternoons. Bed linen, towels, and heating fuel are all included, so there is little to bring beyond your bags and your boots.
