About Ty'r Stocmon

NEW. Explore the grounds of a 700 year-old castle when you stay in this traditional Welsh cottage.

Nestling in the lush grounds of a medieval castle, you’ll love the special setting of this cottage. With out-of-hours access straight into the castle grounds, you can stroll the award-winning gardens and extensive parkland, right from the cottage’s front door.

Ty’r Stocmon, located only a few hundred yards from Chirk Castle, literally means ‘the home of the stockman’ in Welsh and was the home of the estate’s stockman who looked after livestock on the estate. Now, this newly-renovated cottage is ideal for small families or groups of up to four friends. Inside, you’ll discover two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, and downstairs there’s a log burner in the sitting room for warming tired limbs. Then there’s direct access from the kitchen to a large open patio and seating area. It’s the perfect space for alfresco relaxing after a day immersing yourself in tales of Welsh border history (or just running around wagging your tail – the cottage welcomes up to two dogs).

Walking trails all around the cottage will lead you through the Ceiriog Valley on the Welsh-English border and along dramatic Offa’s Dyke. The medieval fortress of Chirk Castle and its glorious gardens are literally on your doorstep. There’s also 480 acres of parkland beyond to explore (or even Segway your way round) filled with wild ponies, sheep and ancient trees, so you’ll be spoiled with outdoor adventures of all kinds.

Close to the cottage,  you’ll find the pretty, historic towns of Llangollen, Oswestry and Welshpool. Chirk is the nearest town with local shops and restaurants, and an 18 hole golf course if you fancy a game. Don’t miss the incredible Chirk Aqueduct either – it’s a jaw dropping sight.

Heading further afield, you can hop across to the eastern fringes of Snowdonia National Park (less than an hour by car) where we’re helping to maintain 2.5 miles of critically-eroded footpaths. When you come to stay, the funds from your holiday go towards essential conservation work like this at the places we look after.

About the Acorn rating

Back to top

We have applied a 1-5 Acorn rating to each cottage to be used only as a guide that covers location, style of interior and facilities you may be looking for. The range runs from 1 Acorn at a more basic level through to 5 Acorns at the highest level. Cottage pricing is not judged on the Acorn rating alone and as all our cottages are of an individual nature we recommend that all factors are considered when making your choice.

1 Acorn: simple living accommodation with basic furniture and fixtures fit for purpose, safe and clean. Running water and a WC are provided. There could be some limitations to heating and washing facilities (details of these will be stated clearly on the cottage's webpage). Bedding, linen and towels are supplied (with a few exceptions, which is again clearly stated). Facilities for basic catering and living are provided. Generally a 1 acorn cottage does not have wifi. Examples of a 1 acorn offer include Cartref, Wales and Rosedene, Worcestershire.

2 Acorn: a mid-quality range of furniture and fittings. Bathroom facilities are basic or there may be a high sleeps to bathroom ratio depending on the size of the cottage. Very few 2 acorn cottages have wifi and, similar to a 1 Acorn cottage, the kitchen white goods and washing facilities are basic in their offer. All 2 (and higher) Acorn cottages supply bedding, linen and towels. Examples of a 2 acorn offer include Engine Cottage, Cornwall and High Hallgarth, Cumbria.

3 Acorn: a good, standard offer. Generally it is correctly proportioned for the number of guests but could have a few compromises, for example a small sized kitchen, or a lower bathroom to guest ratio. The variety of white goods available will be better than a 2 Acorn cottage. Examples of a 3 acorn cottage include the Mustard Pot Cottage, Norfolk and Rose Cottage, Isle of Wight.

4 Acorn: these cottage have more premium furniture, fittings and lighting. Additionally it is likely to have added comfort extras. The ratio of bathrooms to guests will be higher, and the bathrooms would be more likely to have separate and spacious showers as opposed to over bath showers. Examples of a 4 Acorn offer include Portland House, Dorset and Stepper View, Cornwall.

5 Acorn: a luxury accommodation offer with very few limiting factors. It is well-equipped and has spacious facilities throughout the cottage. This is the highest offer available. The furniture is of high standard, and has real comfort for modern living. Examples of a 5 Acorn cottage include The Old Rectory, South Wales and West Gate Lodge, Yorkshire.
