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, you’re sure to have a memorable holiday at this superb cottage.

The views are unbelievable and a real treat from the front of the house, whether youâre sat in the hot tub or preparing food in the kitchen. The house was everything and more than weâd hoped it would be. We were welcomed on arrival by Mark one of the owners with a bottle of fizz for New Year, he showed us around the property and told us how everything worked. The kitchen is fully equipped and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and bathrooms good. The house is really spacious and considering we had 4 children under 7, everyone had enough space. Thank you for being so welcoming and approachable. I would highly recommend a stay here, I bet itâs amazing in the summer with the doors open and the bbq on âï¸

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.
