With it being located at  Woodlands Hall Holiday Park,  you get access to all the amenities available on the park, including; tennis courts, bar & restaurant, outdoor play area, football field and a dog walking field.

The cottage offers breathtaking views as it is nestled amongst the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You can enjoy these spectacular views right from your hot tub.

Within just a 10 minute drive is the ancient town of Ruthin which is embroiled in a rich history, evident from its grand buildings and nostalgic layout.  There is also plenty of country walking to do with Moel Famau and Logger Heads Country Park just a stones throw away.

Fall in love with the finest hotel in Ruthin

Situated in the quaint town of Ruthin at the heart of the Clwydian Range is our 19th century Woodlands Hall Hotel. Dating back to 1870 when it was first built, this building, like many of the buildings in Ruthin boasts a rich history, with elegant wood carvings throughout and a delightful black-and-white revival facade on the exterior. The former country club has been revamped to it’s former glory and now offers 6 luxurious rooms to stay in as you take in the picturesque views amidst this area of outstanding natural beauty.

Reservations are recommended to ensure availability.

Light Switch On's and Christmas Markets

There’s plenty of choice when it comes to Christmas Markets and light switch on’s in North Wales and Cumbria. If you’re in Manor House then we’d recommend the Ambleside light switch on which features fireworks and a lantern parade as well as plenty of Christmas stalls. The Hawkshead Christmas Fayre are also a must visit! 


If you’re in North Wales then there’s plenty of Christmas Markets and Light switch on’s you can enjoy here too. The Rhyl Christmas light switch on is a great day out if you’re staying in Lido Beach. And there are some fantastic Christmas markets locally too. We’d recommend the Beaumaris Victorian Christmas at Beaumaris Castle which is an eerie step back in time to how Christmas used to be. There is also the very much hailed Llandudno Christmas markets if you’re staying at Lido Beach, or if you’re at Caerelwan or Moelfre View then the Port Meirion Christmas event is well worth a visit!

Charming winter walks

If it’s not the charming Cumbrian countryside, it’s the wonderous Welsh hills. We’re blessed that our parks are situated in some of the most breath-taking locations in the whole UK.  Whether you’re a seasoned hiker, or just looking for a scenic location to take your four legged friend, there are paths and routes to suit any hiking ability. 

If you’re looking to catch some beautiful snow topped tree’s we’d recommend Grizedale Forest, perfect if you’re staying at our Lake District caravan park; Manor House. On the other hand, if you’d like to take in the hills of Wales, we have plenty on offer too. Woodlands Hall is located right at the foot of the Clwydian Range, an area of outstanding beauty, with fantastic places to see such as Moel Famau and Loggerheads.
