About this property
Llanfair Caereinion 1 mile. A delightful detached cottage on the outskirts of the town of Llanfair Caereinion in Powys. Renovated from a former farmhouse, this stylish cottage offers a peaceful, rural retreat for friends and families to enjoy, with the benefit of a luxurious hot tub boasting breathtaking views across the valley. As soon as you enter the cottage, you will be impressed with the reception hallway which provides a snug seating area, open fire feature hearth and media TV centre with games console, which the children will want to make use of straight away. To the right of the hall you will find a spacious kitchen with quartz worktops and a dining area with feature fire and access onto the rear patio, as well as fabulous country views. The sitting room has double windows and a bi-fold door across the front to open the room to the outside, and when the evening gets cooler, you can settle into the leather sofas in front of the warming woodburner in the sandstone hearth. Four beautiful bedrooms, two sharing a Jack-and-Jill shower room, are on the first floor, along with a stylish family bathroom. The farmhouse garden is surrounded by sheep grazing, whilst the hot tub, which is located to the side of the cottage, will provide the perfect place to relax and soak away the aches of the day, perhaps with a glass of wine whilst stargazing into the unspoilt night sky. Alternatively, guests can relax on the patio which is south-facing and sheltered, a superb sunbathing area. The town of Llanfair Caereinion is easily accessed from the cottage and offers all you need for a holiday stay with a range of village shops, pubs and restaurants. Enjoy a trip on the Welshpool and Llanfair steam railway (there is a station in the village) or discover beautiful lakes Vyrnwy and Bala, the Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, or trips into beautiful Shropshire. Whatever the time of year, youre sure to have a memorable holiday at this superb cottage.
Llanfair Caereinion is built upon the site of an old Roman fort, in the valley of the river Banwy. It is a thriving town with several high street banks, a post office, and two supermarkets.

The house is amazing, the decor/all the fittings and fixtures were well designed and well thought out, creating a beautiful holiday home. The owners were incredibly helpful and extremely quick to respond to any questions we had. (Not that we had any problems!) One of the owners even met us to show us around the house when we checked it. The owners literally couldn't do enough for us and we even had a yummy locally made cake waiting for us upon arrival! The owners live very close to the accommodation, which was really nice, but they didn't intrude in any way, they even checked when we would be out, so that the lawn could be mowed. As a dog owner, I want to share how brilliant the house and surrounding area was for us. Our dog could be let off lead within the property grounds, which she loved! There was also a meadow/field directly behind the property with no livestock, and which we were allowed to take our dog... so we could let our dog off lead there with no issue. There are also fields immediately outside the house, which has cows, but as long as you have your dog on lead, there are some fantastic and beautiful walks straight out of the front door. (But often steep if you have mobility issues). The hottub was very well maintained and offered gorgeous views from inside it! The beds were super comfy! Our only regret is that we picked a rainy/stormy week, so we didn't get to make use of the amazing bifolding doors in the living room, leading out onto the front of the house....or the lovely outdoor space at the back that much, but the outdoor spaces and acess to them was perfect for a holiday..

Clean, spacious and Mark the host was fantastic, meets you on arrival to show around. The views from property are spectacular, local village has most of what you need. One of the best properties we have ever stayed in, hot tub is an additional bonus relaxing while watching views. House has more than enough facilities. If you want a quiet relaxing place to stay this is definitely up there with the best.

The house is beautiful with everything you need, whether it be a big family group like ours or a smaller group. You will not get bored of the views from the house, they are simply stunning. The peace and tranquility of the house was perfect. Youâre not over looked, we felt safe enough to let the younger kids have free rein to run around and while the owners lived just along the drive way there was no intrusion at all from them. They provided a lovely welcome, help when we needed it and the tastiest Victoria sponge cake on arrival. The house is about 5 minutes away from a very small village with a few amenities and about 20 minutes from Welshpool where this is a supermarket. I would suggest a good shop before you arrive so you donât need to leave this peaceful haven.
