Maerdy Uchaf in Ruthin, North Wales | Must-See Denbighshire Hot Tub Cottage

About Maerdy Uchaf

Maerdy Uchaf is a spacious Welsh farmhouse tucked away in the rolling hills near Ruthin, North Wales. This 17th-century property sits on a working farm with stunning countryside views and zero light pollution - perfect for stargazing. The isolation means total peace without disturbing anyone or being disturbed. Who doesn't want to escape other humans occasionally?

Set in farmland with sheep, cows and pheasants roaming nearby, you'll feel properly disconnected from the rat race. Endless walking trails surround the property, including routes around the Horseshoe Pass. The owners are incredibly helpful - they've been known to drive guests to the highest viewpoint in their pickup truck when legs aren't up to the climb!

The accommodation sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms: one super-king zip-link (convertible to twins), one king-size, one double and one twin. There's a bathroom with bath/shower/WC plus a downstairs wet room. Two separate lounges feature wood burners and the large kitchen becomes the natural gathering spot. The games room offers pool, table tennis and darts.

Nearby attractions include Llangollen (15 miles) with its heritage railway, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Ruthin (10 miles) and Corwen (8 miles). The closest pub is 3 miles away and shops 5 miles distant.

Maerdy Uchaf is ideal for families or friends seeking rural seclusion. The hot tub is a massive hit - perfect for evening drinks under those star-filled skies after a day of exploring. Superior quality beds guarantee a proper night's kip too!

Jess

We just got back after a 5-night stay with six of us celebrating an 18th birthdayand honestly, we're already missing it! The house was spotless, super warmand felt really cosy. The owners were brilliant-really helpful both in person and via text, always there if we needed anything. They've thought of every little detail to make the stay stress-free and fun. We're definitely planning to come back soon. Thanks a lot!

Alex Morgan

We recently enjoyed a peaceful getaway at this remote farmstead, surrounded by breathtaking views and plenty of space to relax. Our group included elderly parents, two teenagers, ourselvesand a little dachshundand everyone had a fantastic time reconnecting with nature. The evenings under the stars, some relaxing dips in the hot tub with a gin in handand the overall sense of calm made it a really special family break. The beds and linens were comfyand the hot water and heating worked perfectly, which was appreciated. The downstairs wet room and the games room were a hit with the teens, while the two lounges and a piano added a cosy touch. The huge kitchen was the hub of our indoor time, where we cooked, paintedand admired the old beams from 1664. The owners are lovely - they even took us up to the highest point in their pickup, which was a real treat for my parents, who can't walk far anymore. We loved every moment and highly recommend exploring those hills; cows, sheep, pheasantsand birdlife aboundand the farmer on his quad was a nice sight to see!
