Ty Bont, Overton-On-Dee

Ty Bont is a spacious four-bedroom holiday lodge in Erbistock, North Wales. This Welsh beauty sits on the banks of the River Dee with 3 acres of private grounds and enough room for eight people to spread out.

The River Dee flows right past the garden. Fish jump. Birds sing. Trees rustle. It's proper countryside stuff. The games room with pool table and table tennis keeps everyone entertained when Welsh weather does its thing. Walks start right from your door. The local pub is just 0.3 miles away .

The accommodation includes four bedrooms: one king-size with en-suite bathroom featuring bath and walk-in shower, another king-size room, plus two doubles that can be set up as twins. There's a family bathroom with bath and a separate WC. The kitchen is fully equipped and the sitting room has an open fire for cosy nights.

Chester Zoo is within easy reach for a family day out. Llangollen is just 9 miles away with its steam railway and canal boat trips. Ellesmere's lakes offer peaceful walks. The River Dee provides opportunities for kayaking and fishing (though not directly from the garden).

Ty Bont ticks every box for family gatherings or friend reunions. The 8-person hot tub is perfect for late-night stargazing with a glass of fizz. Who needs fancy hotels when you've got all this?
