This large and luxurious holiday home sits between the Shropshire Hills and Snowdonia National Park, meaning that outdoor activities are never far from your doorstep. Ideally suited to groups of friends or family reuniting, this property is full of charm with exposed beams and an open fire helping everyone to feel instantly at home. For a car-free adventure, the River Bechan is less than half a mile away with picturesque views all around and plenty of places to stop off for a picnic.

Creating a social space for the whole group to gather, the living room is traditionally styled, sympathetic to the exposed beams, original wooden floors and open fire, with three large, sumptuous sofas and two deep armchairs. Next door is the grand dining room with a table seating 14, perfect for celebratory meals. By contrast, the kitchen has been finished to a high standard with modern updates seamlessly blending with the original features. Here, you’ll find ample space to prepare a feast, as well as a five-seater breakfast bar in the centre of the room. Six double bedrooms and two en-suite twin bedrooms make up the sleeping arrangements which are versatile for a wide range of guests. Each room has been tastefully styled in keeping with the property, furnished with ornate pieces of furniture and thoughtful touches. Outside, the peaceful patio is equipped with tables and chairs for summertime BBQs, as well as a fantastic hot tub. In addition, there is a shared courtyard area with a water feature and further outdoor areas for you to explore.

Those who fancy indulging in the local history should take a trip to Powys Castle and Gardens (11 miles) where well-kempt gardens and a medieval castle await atop a hill boasting blissful views in every direction. Snowdonia National Park is 21 miles away, offering an array of activities from iconic peak climbs to whimsical waterfall visits. Meanwhile, Stiperstones National Nature Reserve can be found in 20 miles with an array of landscapes to explore, from cliffs and crags to caves and densely wooded areas.

As a large group of friends with children this property worked well for us, we enjoyed the outdoor space and the proximity to the local pub. A couple of minor maintenance issues which the reception team were helpful with but all in all a great property which we'd consider returning to.
