Ruthin has its origins in the 13th Century and was a popular market-town. Evidence of its long and illustrious history can be found in the beams and brickwork in buildings throughout the town. Pendref Chapel is Ruthin's oldest chapel, dating back to around 1827. Other impressive medieval buildings include Maen Huail, where, according to legend, Huail was beheaded for trying to scupper King Arthur's quest for true love. In addition to sites of historical interest, many of the pubs and inns in Ruthin have their own tales to tell, such as the 16th Century Myddleton Arms; the site of many cock-fights and having an unusual window arrangement known locally as ‘the eyes of Ruthin'. Other attractions near to Ruthin include the striking ruins of Denbigh Castle and Valle Crucis Abbey, which dates back to the 13th Century.
Reviews
"We regularly stay in cottages for short breaks and recently stayed at Distyl for the first time. We chose this place as pet friendly and on the doorstep of Ruthin which is a charming little place. Cottage was immaculately clean and very well laid out and warm!! The owners were very friendly and welcoming, made you feel at home. We had snow and ice so made use of Sky movies and sports when we weren't reading. There is a 40 min circular walk from the cottage (map in cottage) which was ideal for a quick dog walk. Lots formal walks nearby too inc Llyn Brenig and Loggerheads. Only negatives are the WiFi which is very weak and intermittent (weak signal and only in living room) and is advertised as having a washing machine but this is actually in owners own house. Looking forward to going again. "
"We only had 2 nights in the cottage but we loved it. On arrival the owners were warm, friendly and relaxed and we felt at home right away. The cottage is really well appointed and the bed is large and comfortable. Our dogs loved it too, with the woods just a 2 minute walk up the lane - follow the maps that Bev will explain!! Ruthin is a nice old town to have a wander round and on the very clear night we had you could see an amazing star scape across the sky. We relaxed, we just stopped for a while after a very hectic few weeks and months and we would definitely return."
"This cottage is absolutely wonderful. Every room was tastefully furnished and so very comfortable. There were so many extra little touches that made our stay so enjoyable. Daisy my brown Labrador especially enjoyed the tray of dog biscuits waiting for her! We relaxed from the moment we arrived Bev and Phil the owners were so very helpful and their beautiful dog Annie and cats Will and Flossy were a joy. Not forgetting the sheep waiting for you at the bottom of the garden! (Behind a fence). It is such a relaxing location and so close to great dog walks where you are more then likely going to be the only ones there. We did not want to leave and will most certainly return. The place is so beautiful and I look forward to returning in the Spring or Summer. Do not hesitate in booking this cottage, it really is outstanding."
"This was the nicest cottage we have ever stayed in, The accommodation was second to none, everything we needed was there,and perfect for us and our two dogs, great walks right from the door.The owners Bev and Phil where brilliant from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we will defiantly be going back."

"A very comfortable, spotlessly clean and cosy cottage with an interesting history. The owners were extremely welcoming and friendly. Including their dog Annie who would often welcome us back from a days outing. Excellent location. A week wasn't long enough! Would definitely recommend this cottage.Even thinking about going back next year."
"Had an amazing week in this beautifully decorated superbly appointed accommodation. The location was so pretty and quiet. Bev, Phil and Annie the dog gave such a warm welcome with a bottle of wine and sweeties. They provided all the little extras that made the holiday perfect. Beautiful walks nearby and many pubs that serve good food. Can't wait to go back!"
"The owners Bev & Phil are the most welcoming hosts we have met, nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of dog walks in the adjacent woods and a dog friendly beach at Talacre, which is quite rare these days.The property is very high spec with no expense spared. We really enjoyed our stay and the guest book confirms other visitors did too. The privacy of the property also enhances its location. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again and recommend it fully."
"Absolutely lovely property in stunning surroundings. Dog walkers and explorers paradise. A lovely romantic get away. Would strongly recommend for couples with or without pets. Facilities were excellent, will definitely be returning in the future."
"One of the best equipped holiday cottages we have stayed in.The accommodation was excellent and fitted out to a very high standard, the garden was beautiful with a lovely weeping willow and a stream.The owners Bev and Phil who live on the site made us very welcome and thier sheep dog Anne came to greet you when you came back from your days out. Ruthin is a very quaint little country town not far from Chester 25 miles, Llangollen 15 miles, Llandudno 35 miles . The Old Cross Keys at the end of the lane about 10 mins walk serves very good food, it is advisable to book we missed the steak night on the tuesday because they were fully booked"
"cottage done to a really high standard - owners are also on site and nothing is too much trouble. Lovely quiet location, but only a short drive from shops/pubs/etc. totally recommend thia as a place to stay, would happily visit again"
