TY COSY
A Home from Home
We want to make sure our cosy guest house has everything you need for your self catering break, so you can just get on and enjoy yourself.
Bedroom
A double bed with 4 soft pillows and a king-size duvet so you don't need to argue over who has the covers (again!) . Bedding is provided at no extra cost. Just off the bedroom is an en-suite shower room, with all the essentials, toilet paper, soap, and your towels.
Kitchen
The kitchen has everything you need for your stay, cutlery, crockery, pots and pans. We provide tea, coffee, milk and sugar, and some basics as well such as oil for you to cook your full English and salt and pepper too. There is an oven, hob, microwave and fridge and with 2 local supermarkets within walking distance, if you do want a cosy night in, there is plenty of choice from a quick micro meal to full roast.
Living / Dining
A two seater sofa to snuggle up on, TV with free view, and free wifi for your stay. There is also a breakfast bar so you can sit and enjoy the views when you are eating. For those of you who have to work, we have fibre broadband and the breakfast bar can double up as your work space with charging plugs to keep you going, (although you may have to shut those curtains or you could find yourself drifting off with those beautiful views!) For the business trip you'll find an iron and ironing board to spruce up your shirt.
Outside
At Ty Cosy you have your own garden space which is accessed by a gate and is fenced off. This area is quiet and has shrubs around it to give you some privacy. It has a patio area with a table and 4 chairs where you can enjoy your breakfast or just relax in the sun, and take in the views listening to the trickle of the pond, tweeting of the birds and occasional sheep noise (well come on that's what we are known for!)
Explore the area:
Holywell is a small market town with everything you need.
Now we are sure you don't want to come to North Wales to go shopping, but for your essentials there are two supermarkets (Lidl and Tesco) in the town, butchers, bakers but no candle stick makers, although there is a gift shop selling candles in the Well! There are cafe's, restaurants, pubs and takeaways, and Maggie's chip shop has got to be the best we've ever tasted!
Places of Interest -
St Winefred's Well,l known as "The Lourdes Of Wales": Take a walk around the well and observe the discarded crutches from people who claim to have been cured by the Holy water. Learn about how the well became famous by the scorned Prince who cut of the head of Winefred!
Greenfield Valley and ruins: Walk or park in one of the three car parks nearby to explore the Mill ruins, the lakes, the woods and the ancient Abbey ruins.
The Pen-Y-Ball monument: this hill is not for the faint hearted, however for those of you brave enough you will not be disappointed by the stunning views at the top by the monument. (you can cheat and drive up!)
Walking : fabulous walks right on the doorstep. Go up the Hill to the Pen Y Ball, down the hill to the Well and Greenfield Valley. The Watts Dyke path is located near the Abbey Ruins in Greenfield.
The Coastal pathway, lovely flat walk and lots to see on the way.

Holywell is close to the border of Cheshire so the road networks are great, the A55 is the main road into North Wales which links to all the major motorway networks in England. Ty Cosy is just 5 minutes off the A55.
Holywell has a small bus station with bus routes to all the other major towns across North Wales and over the border into Cheshire. Look out for daily and weekly traveller deals so you can explore lots of different towns for not a lot of money.
Railway - Flint is the nearest train station which links to Chester in around 15 mins, Liverpool and Manchester are around an hour. (it is cheaper to go by train to Liverpool than to drive and no parking!) Parking in Flint is free. You can also get all over the coastal areas of North Wales in a relatively short space of time too.
