Cynefin

Ein Cynefin, nr Soughton, Flintshire, Wales - Explore & Book

"Handsome Ein Cynefin stands majestically among rolling hills and meadows stretching to the English border near Chester. This Victorian manor house is the former home of sister-owners Angharad and Teleri, who have thoughtfully restored the house with a sympathetic nod to their Welsh heritage. Behind the building’s honey-coloured facade, original features blend with curated interiors sourced from local Welsh artisans to create a fresh take on a classic country retreat. You enter into a grand, double-height hall with a Bechstein baby grand piano in the corner, the first of many handpicked antiques that decorate the rooms of this beautiful home. The hall leads to a myriad of living spaces, all with sash windows and 20th-century Welsh art, one with a pretty window seat, another with a roaring log burner. A sweeping staircase ascends to five light-filled bedrooms (four doubles, one twin), each enormous and ensuite, with long, leafy views of the gardens (on all four sides of the house). These gardens are a dream for youngsters, who can play croquet or badminton, hide in the trees, or pick apples from the orchard. And when you’re not all playing lord of the manor, the Welsh countryside calls: climb the Clwydians (Moel Famau - Mother Mountain - is visible from the house), or head up to North Wales’ beautiful coastline. Fresh air, family fun, and the finer things in life, all just 40 minutes from both Liverpool and Manchester, what could be better? Highs An elegant family manor restored with love and an eye for design, and yet excellent value All five bedrooms are large and light-filled, and each has an ensuite boasting a bath with a view Set among stunning North Wales countryside just across the border from Chester, with rolling meadows, the Clwydian hills and the coast nearby The sprawling lawns are perfect for letting kids (and dogs) run free Warm, hospitable owners who can arrange extras from hot-tub hire to catered dinners Lows You’ll need a car – shops and restaurants are a short drive away, and there's not much to do within the immediate vicinity This is an old house, so expect the odd creaky floorboard The rural location means WiFi can be patchy in some rooms, particularly for streaming" - Handpicked by our hotel experts
