Head to the village of Llanfair Caereinion and discover a range of shops for picking up the essentials, along with a choice of pubs serving food, perfect for when you fancy a night off cooking. Head on a scenic stroll through Deri Woods or climb on board the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway, a popular tourist spot and exciting ride as it passes a viaduct and river bridge, climbs the notorious Golfa Bank and steams serenely through the beautiful Welsh countryside. Ten miles away lies Welsh, an interesting market town home to a bustling high street full of traditional shops, boutiques and markets or be stunned by the extraordinary Powys Castle and Gardens. Lake Vyrnwy and the Snowdonia National Park are further afield, offering beautiful walking routes and birdwatching opportunities. Choose Ty Gwyn for a wonderful base in this region of Wales.
The town of Llanfair Caereinion is built upon the site of an old Roman fort, in the valley of the River Banwy. It is a thriving town built around The Church of St Mary, with a Post Office, two supermarkets, and a selection of three different pubs. The annual Llanfair Caereinion Carnival is very popular with locals, and proceeds through the town with a full parade of floats and dancing troupes, providing a Rio carnival atmosphere. There is a river walk along the banks of the Banwy leading to an Arboretum, containing over 25 different species of British trees, an ideal place to explore before stepping back in time and jumping on the start of the narrow gauge heritage steam railway that runs 8.5 miles west to Welshpool. Welshpool nestles into the upper reaches of the picturesque Severn Valley near the border between Wales and England. This bustling market town is surrounded by rolling hills and glorious unspoilt countryside. There's a unique blend of shops offering arts & crafts, fashion & leisure, fresh produce, and quality pubs and restaurants, as well as the town centre’s restored cock fighting pit and interesting Heritage Trail. Visit the famous 13th Century Powis Castle, and the renowned Dingle Gardens.

There wasn't anything that hadn't been thought of. The property was clean throughout, with outstanding views. The bed was comfortable, the sofa and chairs were great, and the place felt like home, so much so, that we didn't want to leave. We hope to return soon. Thank you for a perfect holiday

A lovely cozy cottage for a relaxing week away. The hottub & log fire were great to get warm & cozy on those colder evenings. Having a huge field right outside was perfect to take our dog around & throw his ball. Our 2 year old loved the place too & said he wanted to stay here forever. Very happy with our stay & would highly recommend. Thanks
