4- and 5-star hotels in Denbigh
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels and self-catering stays in Denbigh, from a 5-star B&B by the castle to converted farmhouses and cottages in the surrounding villages. It is for visitors who want a base in or within a short drive of this north-east Wales town.
Staying in Denbigh
In town, Castle House B&B sits on Plas Castell and Abbey Cottage on Abbey Road, while The Old Workshop on Mold Road and the The Golden Lion Inn at Llangynhafal lie just outside the centre. The rest are rural: Cefn Berain Uchaf and Delfryn at Llannefydd, Hendre Denbigh at Llanynys, Tall Trees and Glyn Arthur Lodge at Llandyrnog, Pennant at Henllan, Bryn Boda at Nantglyn and Beech Cottage in Denbigh itself. The split shapes who each stay suits. Couples and short-break visitors tend to want the town addresses or the inn at Llangynhafal, where The Golden Lion Inn adds a restaurant, bar and room service to 4-star rooms. Families and longer stays are better served by the cottages and houses with kitchens and gardens, and by Tall Trees with its swimming pool and playground. Business travellers should note that the larger inn is the only property here with conference halls, lifts and 24-hour cover.
