“Wild Garlic and Walks” This is one of many stays at Knolton Mill for us now as a "mature" couple and before as a family. We have never stayed in June and I suggest it is simply even more beautiful in this abundant and verdant month. The scent of wild garlic wafts in through the car as you drive down the bumpy track. The ferns are just uncoiling, the stream babbles, and there are so many wild flowers.The dogs yelp with excitement from the back seat, I'm sure they remember where we are heading. The first things they do is to dive into the stream and rush around barking. They do eventually calm down! The cottage is welcoming and oozes stories of old and those in the making. Once you have explored the extensive grounds, said hello to the Green Man, and had a cup of tea, and a sleep, an adventure into the woods is a must, and for a good hours' energetic walk, follow the river Dee, through meadow, and woodland, ( more dog swims along the way) and by the wier, to the Cross Foxes at Overton. Sleep is deep at Knolton Mill, and dreams are vivid as your mind surrenders and stops controlling. We curl up by the log burner in the evening and read and eat interesting Welsh local goods purchased from Stans' independent supermarket. (Stans is astonishingly good.) On warm evenings we ate superb meat bought from a lovely butcher in Llangollen cooked on a home built wood fire in a designated area in the garden. During this recent stay we ventured out far to climb Snowdon ( 1.5 hours drive away), that was tough but well worth it, and a day in Chester, and to the Berwyn Hills. We also like to visit the amazing aqueduct at Trefor near Llangollen. A final evening meal at The Cross Foxes was delish. Today at work my thoughts were still in the hills.

“Lovely Cottage in a Beautiful Location” It is a lovely cottage which feel like home from the moment we arrived. It has a very well equipped kitchen and lots of books and games. The outdoor space is amazing! There is sheltered space as well as open space which is useful with the English weather. We spent most evenings outside listening to the stream with the beautiful smell of lavender. Definately a great place to stay.

“What a Beautiful Place” It is not very often that you arrive somewhere and feel completely at home - in fact having Knolton MIll Cottage as your home would be fantastic! What a gorgeous cottage that oozes charming from every corner. The grounds are superb and I can not find any words to fault the place. It has everything you need and more. We feel very lucky to have found this place and we will look forward to our return there, some day soon. Many thanks for letting us stay.

“Superb cottage in secluded location” Knolton Mill cottage is a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle yet it is only a short drive to all of the shops and amenities you could possibly need. The location is beautiful and the accommodation is very comfortable, warm and well equipped. There is no wireless, phone reception or tv, so it is very much a place to go when you want/need to remove yourself from modern life. There are lots of books and board games as well as a radio (so you aren't totally disconnected from the world). I highly recommend the cottage!

“Heaven away from it all for a week” Totally remote in its own woodlands, but 10 mins drive to a massive supermarket. 2 of the best pubs in the world an hours walk away. Everything about the cottage is perfect. We're starting to model our house on Knolton MIll, and fully intended to squat there after our week away. How does the woodburner heat the whole house all night on 3 big logs? How could you improve this place? Impossible. We will be back. Loved it.

“QUALITY TIME IN A QUALITY PLACE, SIMPLY MAGICAL” Wow, what a place to spend New Year, so different from the usual hustle and bustle of my regular New Year. The peace and tranquility of the place is unbelievable. We enjoyed uninterupted walks through the woodland, and my youngest son (2 years) had a fantastic time splashing in the stream and stamping on mole hills, that's the kind of stuff kids should be doing!! It really makes you appreciate the simple things in life and allows you to spend the quality time needed with your family, that is so difficult to get at home. The cottage itself is wonderful and oozes history from every corner. Everything you could ever need is provided, and the log burner creates a wonderful cosy evening for chats and games together. We can't wait to go back and do it all again.

“Getting off the treadmill” Knolton Mill is very special. As I drive down the little track to the cottage and hear the gentle rush of the stream, the breeze in the woodland trees, and finally the signal goes on my mobile phone, I know I am at peace and going to have a holiday. And I mean a true holiday, a holy period of time, a rare time these days ,where I really can get off the 'life bus' the relentless treadmill of being in touch, having to 'be' , having to 'do'. The cottage has all the comforts I need in order to sleep well, eat well, keep warm, and go for endless walks or just sit in the woodland, by the steam, or go and have a chat and a ponder with the Greenman. If you have a desparate urge to keep up with your emails on your various connected gadgets, forget it. If you need the nonsensical babble of tripe televison, forget it. If you want to clear your head, and write, read, draw, or just sit and be nothing, do nothing, then Knotlon Mill is indeed a very special place.

“The perfect rural getaway!” Beautiful 18th century cottage set in fantastic grounds. A perfect base for exploring the wonderful surrounding countryside. The secluded nature of this cottage gives you an amazing sense of... more

“Magical!” My family and I have now had 2 holidays at Knolton Mill and we will return. The setting is fabulously secluded and peaceful with lovely grounds and seating areas. No mobile phone coverage was a welcome change! The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and relaxing - even with two collies. A wonderful retreat in the woods for people who love a taste of the countryside and the stream on the cottage boundary is great for cooling down on a hot day! Lovely walks through the woods straight from the cottage. Good pubs in the local area. Chester 25 minutes away. Wrexham 20 minutes. All in all Knolton Mill has a very special magic. Don't miss it!
