Ardwyn Bach
Ardwyn Bach (pronounced ar-dwin bahkh) sits at the top of town on a hill — which is exactly what the name describes. Derived from Ar Fryn, meaning on a mound or hill, and bach, meaning small, it's the smaller part of Clare's own home, Ardwyn. Same views, same spot on the hill — just a little more tucked away.
A beautifully restored historic house in the centre of Ruthin, with spectacular Clwydian Range views.
Ardwyn Bach offers every comfort, and is designed for guests to relax and enjoy. Tastefully decorated with eye-catching details, it boasts three large guest bedrooms, with individual private bathroom or en-suite facilities, a large living/dining space and cottage style kitchen, leading out on its private courtyard garden. Guests can also enjoy the shared large landscaped, private garden with its stunning views.
Whether you are hosting a leadership retreat, a creative workshop, a private gathering, or simply a memorable stay with people you care about, Plas Tirion provides the setting.
