Horseshoe Pass Holiday Lets

Horseshoe Pass Holiday Lets are a collection of characterful barn-conversion holiday lets in a spectacular mountain setting on the famous Horseshoe Pass, near Llangollen. Set high in the hills of the Dee Valley and welcoming dogs, they make a peaceful and dramatic base for exploring one of the most scenic corners of North East Wales.

Characterful barn lets in a mountain setting

Converted from traditional stone barns, the lets are full of character, with oak beams throughout and a comfortable, homely feel. Some have roll-top baths, and many enjoy a private balcony or garden where you can sit out and take in the sweeping hillside views. There is a stone-built barbecue in the shared outdoor area, and direct access to the mountains straight from the grounds — walkers and cyclists can set off right from the door.

Comfortable and well equipped

Each let comes with a Freesat flat-screen TV and DVD player, and between them the lets can sleep a good-sized group when booked together, making them flexible for couples, families and larger gatherings alike. The combination of period character and a genuinely remarkable setting is the real draw here.

Things to do nearby

Llangollen, on the River Dee, is a wonderful base for days out. The heritage Llangollen Railway runs steam trains along the valley, and the UNESCO World Heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries the canal high above the river — you can cross it on foot or by narrowboat. The romantic hilltop ruins of Castell Dinas Brân look down over the town, while the medieval Valle Crucis Abbey sits just below the pass. Add in marked footpaths straight from the grounds and the drama of the Horseshoe Pass itself, and there is plenty to fill a week.

Who it suits

With their mountain setting, walking access and welcome for dogs, the Horseshoe Pass Holiday Lets suit walkers, cyclists, couples and families who want peace, fresh air and big views. Booking more than one let together also makes them a good choice for larger groups and family get-togethers in a truly memorable location.

Good to know

This is an upland, rural setting, so it rewards guests who come ready to enjoy the outdoors and the quiet. The position high on the pass means wonderful views and dark skies, with Llangollen close by for shops, pubs and restaurants whenever you fancy heading into town. Walking boots and warm layers are worth packing, as the weather in the hills can change quickly and the scenery is best enjoyed on foot.
