A Historic Holiday Cottage in the Heart of the Vale of Clwyd

Hengoed Farm offers a unique and characterful holiday cottage set in idyllic countryside, just 2 miles from the historic medieval market town of Ruthin, North Wales.

Overlooking the Vale of Clwyd, the property enjoys panoramic views of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (now proposed as the next Welsh National Park). Hengoed Farm has been continuously occupied since at least the early 14th century, making it a truly special place to stay.

At the heart of the farmstead is a Grade II* listed early 15th-century Medieval Cruck Hall House*, now used as a barn and considered one of the oldest surviving examples in Wales. Remarkably, the timber used in its construction was already around 500 years old when felled, meaning it was growing on Hengoed Farm as early as the 10th century – the oldest structural timbers found in any building in the British Isles.
