Lambourne House, Chirk

A Luxury 4-Bedroom Country House near Chirk, with Hot Tub

Lambourne House is an imposing detached country house set on a working farm in the rolling countryside near Chirk, in the south-east corner of North Wales close to the Wrexham border. Sleeping up to eight in four individually-styled en-suite bedrooms, it pairs period character — exposed beams and a wood-burning fire — with thoroughly modern comforts including underfloor heating, a private hot tub and its own stretch of river. With Llangollen, the Dee Valley and the border town of Oswestry all close by, it makes a genuinely special base for a family gathering or a get-together of friends.

The house

The accommodation is spread over a generous, characterful house. At its heart is a large, well-equipped kitchen with twin ovens and dishwashers, a dining area that opens out onto the patio, and a comfortable lounge with a log-burning fire for cooler evenings. Upstairs, a library landing leads to four bedrooms, each individually decorated and each with its own en-suite bathroom — so there’s no queuing in the morning. Outside there’s a private garden and patio, a hot tub to unwind in, parking for five or more cars, and access to the farm’s own river, known for its salmon and game fishing. For larger parties, the neighbouring Ceiriog Hot Tub Hideaway can be booked alongside to sleep up to ten in total.

Exploring the Dee Valley & the Welsh borders — an insider’s guide

Chirk sits right on the border between Wales and Shropshire, which makes Lambourne House a brilliant launch pad in either direction. Here’s how to make the most of it:

• Two great houses on the doorstep — National Trust Chirk Castle, a medieval fortress with beautiful gardens, is just up the road, while the restored mansion and gardens of Erddig near Wrexham make another easy day out.
• The “stream in the sky” — the UNESCO World Heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is close by; walk or take a narrowboat across Thomas Telford’s astonishing aqueduct, 38 metres above the River Dee.
• A day in Llangollen — ride the Llangollen Heritage Railway steam train, take a horse-drawn canal boat, or simply browse the riverside town’s cafés and independent shops.
• Walking and the outdoors — the long-distance Offa’s Dyke Path passes nearby, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB offers everything from gentle riverside strolls to bigger hill walks; the more adventurous can try white-water rafting on the Dee at Llangollen.
• Over the border — the handsome market town of Oswestry, with its golf course and independent shops, is a short drive into Shropshire.
