Tafarn Y Waen

Why stay here ...

Tafarn y Waen is a former 18th-century inn, restored and renovated to provide not only a home but also to offer a cosy and traditional retreat for guests. Set within the rolling hills of the Clwydian range, it is easily accessed from Junction 28 of the A55 taking the road towards Trefnant. We are located just 1 mile along that road. We have a large car park in front of our main building and our landscaped paddock with a gravelled track, semi-hard-standing pitches and electric hook-ups are located at the bottom of the car park. Turn into our car park via our large gateway and we’ll get you sorted.

The Waen is a rural and farmland locality (including the hamlet of Waen Goleugoed) on the outskirts of St Asaph (Britain’s 2nd smallest city). The city itself is home to a beautiful Cathedral, and there are lovely walks along the River Elwy. There is a Co-Op and a Londis for provisions, as well as pubs, take-aways and cafes. The nearest supermarket is Aldi, just 8 minutes with Sainsbury’s just a little further on. The larger towns of Abergele, Rhyl and Prestatyn with retail parks and supermarkets are about a 10-15 minutes’ drive. Llandudno seaside town is a 20-25 minutes’ drive but the nearest beach is less than 15 minutes’ drive.

We are located at the edge of the villages Tremerchion and Rhuallt, areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (Clwydian Range AONB). Within easy reach of Snowdonia but only half an hour’s drive from the historic walled city of Chester. Closer still, the Welsh towns of Ruthin (25 minutes) and Denbigh (15 minutes). The quaint village of Dyserth with its’ waterfall is less than a 10-minute drive.

Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, surrounded by fields and farmland. In the middle of nowhere but a stone’s throw from the road to everywhere, including a local pub/restaurant just 2 two-minute drive.

Our location provides an ideal base for your holiday or break. We are on a cycle route to the historic town of Ruthin. The public footpaths of the 'Pilgrims Way' and the 'Clwydian Way' pass by our front door. The renowned 'walkers' path of the 'Offas Dyke' is within easy reach (as are the village of Bodfari and the small town of Caerwys).

Our CL Site is an ideal base, central to many things North Wales has to offer. The World Heritage site of Conwy. The lovely Isle of Anglesey. The amazing Snowdonia National Park, and the beautiful North Wales coast. Drive in the opposite direction on the A55 expressway, for less than half an hour, and you will reach the ancient Roman city of Chester with its black and white shopping rows and the famous Chester Zoo (There is even the UK's largest designer shopping outlet, nearby).

Robert and Ann Marie look forward to meeting you soon.
