Cheshire Vacation Rental cottage

A gorgeous Grade II listed detached cottage, located in an idyllic canalside position close to the magnificent Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which carries the Llangollen Canal over the River Dee. Lovingly renovated by the current owners, it offers every modern comfort, whilst retaining many original features such as beams in the upstairs rooms. There are 3 bedrooms: 2 x double (one with colour TV with Sky and DVD), 1 x twin (gives access to 2nd double and has no natural light). Modern bathroom with bath (shower over), washbasin and WC. Spacious fitted kitchen with dining area. Delightful sitting room with feature coal effect gas fire and views of canal. Note: The stairs to the first floor are steep. The cottage is over 200 years old and has a fascinating history, it used to be the original pay office for the canal toll. Barges can be hired closeby (daily hire available) for a memorable voyage across the aqueduct or through the Vale of Llangollen to the town itself. About the area: The pretty Vale of Llangollen, with its mountain backdrop and boulder-strewn River Dee, is the setting for this lovely tourist town, internationally famous for its Musical Eisteddfod.
