About this property
Chateau Petit is a one-bedroom lodge positioned in an idyllic setting in the pretty village of Trefeglwys, Powys. Set on one level with a large, attractive garden and picnic furniture, this romantic bolthole is a wonderful escape for a couple looking to spend a weekend away in Mid Wales. Step inside and discover the kitchen/living area with a small dining area which is perfect for creating a romantic meal for two. Take a seat in front of the TV or pour a glass of wine and sit on the beautiful terrace, all whilst your pooch safely roams the enclosed garden or take them out to the paddock for a run around. When stars appear above, retire to the double bedroom and dream about the adventures to come. Explore your surroundings - if you don’t feel like cooking, treat your partner to a well-deserved meal and local ales at Arthur’s, or if you can tear yourself away, the Red Lion which rests nearby. Within the village of Trefeglwys there is also a well-stocked convenience store for picking up any essentials. Venture onto Llanidloes, where you can test out your swing at the excellent St Idloes Golf Club or dine at the popular Whistling Badger. If you’re seeking an outdoor adventure, there are stunning views and superb walking and cycling opportunities throughout the Shropshire Hills AONB, where you can expect incomparable views and charming villages along the way. Consider taking a ride on the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway, where you can relax on a historic train and take in your extraordinary surroundings; a truly one-of-a-kind way to explore the sights. However you choose to spend your time, a break at Chateau Petit promises a well-deserved rest or romantic retreat, whatever time of year.
A very attractive village with a shop and pub, surrounded by superb countryside - perfect for walking, cycling, fishing, bird watching, kite feeding and clay pigeon shooting. Just six miles away is the historic town of Llanidloes, built on the banks of the River Severn. It boasts a variety of architecture, including timber-framed black and white houses, with the impressive old market hall being its finest example. There is a good choice of amenities in the town, including antique shops, pubs, restaurants and scenic riverside walks. The renowned beauty spots of Llyn Clywedog with its 236ft dam and Hafren Forest offering watersports and fabulous scenery, are both close by.
