About this property
Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant 2.8 miles. Mynydd Y Glyn Lodge is a stunning, two-bedroom holiday retreat resting on the outskirts of Llanfyllin, near Llanrhaeadr-Ym-Mochnant, in Powys.

Surrounded by the most beautiful views, this place was the perfect spot for a much needed peaceful week away. The lodge itself was immaculate and beautifully designed, with a very cosy feel. The fully equipped kitchen was ideal for preparing meals & the beds were very comfy! We enjoyed sitting at the breakfast bar in the morning & looking out at the snowy landscape which we were so very lucky to experience. The hot tub is also a standout feature & very relaxing of an evening. The location was more than ideal for us & plenty of space to let our dog roam; it was nice to know she was safe and secure. Carole & Ian were incredibly welcoming, providing detailed instructions for the lodge and thoughtful touches like a basket of local goodies, including Welsh cakes, bread, milk & tea on arrival. There was also a welcome basket for our dog, which came very handy! Itâs clear they take great pride in offering guests an unforgettable experience. We loved every minute of our stay & hope to return back some time in the future!
