    “Our party had a wonderful time at Larch House.”

    The accommodation was stunning and the setting was so peaceful. We had a great time on the lake in the boat and on the paddleboard. The sunken bath was a real hit too. Fans might be a useful addition as it was really hot when we were there, but we had our own. The owners were super helpful when we contacted them. Property is a short drive into the village and there are nice places to eat. The property was clean, modern, well equipped and safe. We will definitely be back.

Each room is thoughtfully designed for comfort and restful nights. The main bathroom is a sanctuary, complete with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, surfboard-shaped basin, and WC.

A light-up mirror and wooden panels add a touch of elegance to your daily routine. Step outside to a front veranda with decking and comfortable furniture—perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks as loved ones enjoy the plunge pool.

About the location

FARNDON

Chester 10 miles; Llangollen 19 miles.

The village of Farndon nestles quietly near the River Dee, approximately 7 miles south of Chester. The village was an important place historically and has been a site of conflict and cultural exchange since the Angles settled in the area in the 8th century. The border moved numerous times during the following centuries, placing Farndon alternately in Wales and England. Today visitors will find splendid little shops, as well as welcoming pubs, ideal for relaxing in with friends and family. Why not visit the Roman city of Chester with its famous 'Rows', excellent shopping and celebrated zoo? For those who like walking and outdoor activities, Snowdonia National Park is only a couple of hours drive away and is ideal for days out. Farndon is the perfect base from which to enjoy this beautiful and exciting region.

Note: No children under the age of seven allowed. Note: This property has two ponds and the property is also close to the banks of the River Dee, children and pets to be minded at all times.
