“If Carlsberg did Cabins.”
...
Absolutely amazing getaway! We (a young couple with a pooch) decided to go away last minute for Xmas and wanted somewhere very isolated, peaceful and with a nice view to wake up to. This place definitely didn't disappoint! The description of the cabin and surroundings are spot on. We have been to a lot of cottages, air bnb's etc and I can honestly say this is by far the best.
I took a lot of kitchen items with me as we've been to a lot of places with bare minimum, however, I only needed a couple of them which I have listed as it was fully equipped with pretty much everything, even cocktail making stuff.
Kitchen Items to take - Scales, Tongs, Potato masher, whisk, Kitchen Roll and big bin bags (they only provide very small ones which you end up emptying 3 times a day (especially at Xmas)
As it was Xmas I took baking stuff such as a Rolling pin, electric mixer, cake tins, pastry brush, cooling rack.. so if you want to bake I do suggest taking your own things for this just incase.
They decorated the cabin for Xmas and had a real Xmas tree so that was a really nice touch. Plenty of games available to play for all the family and Netflix and Amazon Prime to watch on the Smart TV. Wifi was good.
The log burner was great (not dual fuel) Our pooch loved it and the wood fried hot tub was lovely! We took a lot of our own wood as we've found some starter packs can be quite small, however the starter pack here was great and would see you out till the next day! We took 4x 30 litre bags with us and some chopped wood from a friend. This lasted us with nothing to spare at the end.
The outside area for the pooch was a great size, however if your pooch does like to explore then be careful as the top fence is not fully secure as its long strips of wood with a big gap at the bottom, however there is a wired fenced at the bottom of the hill by the stream which by the way was lovely to listen to whilst sitting in the hot tub which had plenty of jets and nice lights.
There is a quiet footpath down the hill as you walk out the cabin gates which runs along the river and eventually comes out to a little village with a nice pub called the Drovers Arms. We then took the longer route back along the top of the woods and caught some lovely scenery.
We tried to book it again for next Xmas but seems its already been booked! Gutted but we will certainly return at some point.
Many thanks for your lovely feedback Roanna, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay so much. Thank you for the suggestions. We have ordered some larger bins and extra kitchen utensils and would love to see you again at Lady Bagots Cabin in the future.

The hilltop town of Ruthin lies to the north of Llangollen via the breathtaking Horseshoe Pass. The town is picturesque with attractive half-timbered buildings, mainly clustered around St Peter’s Square. There are many interesting shops and buildings, whilst the Nant Clwyd House (the oldest timber frame in Wales), Ruthin Gaol and Ruthin Craft Centre, which houses work by internationally recognised artists and craftspeople, are also worth a visit. Beautiful countryside is on Ruthin’s doorstep with Lake Brenig, Moel Famau Country Park and Clocaenog Forest close by. Further afield, but still within easy touring distance, are the coast, Snowdonia National Park and historic Chester.
