The property

Circus Circus is a truly unique retreat, tucked away in the Flintshire market town of Hollywell. This single-storey abode is a fun-filled extravaganza of a property, combining the home comforts you’d expect from a self-catering stay, Smart TV and Alexa, with a playful décor with an abundance of attention to detail. Perfect for a couple and their four-legged friends, Circus Circus invites a happy and memorable holiday in beautiful North Wales. Centrally located but offering ample off-road parking, unloading your bags and setting off to explore on foot will be a breeze (that’s if you can tear yourself away!). Step through the ‘show curtains’ (french doors) and into your elaborate home-from-home. The studio-style layout combines living, cooking and sleeping areas, providing all you need in this mesmerising space. The walls are adorned with bright circus stripes and animals, paying homage to the inspiration, and there are even authentic touches, including a Dodgems sign, and not to miss the circus-tent ceiling, which really completes the feel. With a mixture of patterns and textures throughout, your eyes won’t know where to land, and the detail continues into the kitchen space, which is equally as pleasing to the eyes as it is functional for your favourite home-cooked meals. Outside furniture, so there is space to relax, dine, and unwind in the fresh air too. When you manage to peel yourself away from this inviting retreat, explore the local attractions Holywell has to offer. Wander the historic Greenfield Valley Heritage Park filled with fascinating museums and beautiful walking trails. Take a trip to the National Catholic Shrine of St Winefride, a place of worship and pilgrimage followed by a visit to the nearby ruins of Basingwerk Abbey for a dose of local history. Don't miss the chance to see the striking Duke of Lancaster ship, an iconic piece of the local landscape and perfect for a photo opportunity. For nature lovers, a trek to Bettisfield Beacon offers magnificent views and photo opportunities galore. Any avid golfers will want to visit Holywell Golf Club for a lovely round under the sun! Top off the day with a delicious meal at The Stamford Gate Hotel, known for its warm hospitality and delightful food. Give yourself a unique and fun-filled holiday at Circus Circus.
