This charming Welsh cottage, full of refined details and natural light, offers a stylish retreat for up to four guests. Once a Blacksmith’s workshop for the Llangedwyn Estate, this single-storey listed property has been beautifully renovated to blend historic character with modern comforts, retaining original features such as wooden beams and its impressive blacksmith’s fireplace.

The open-plan living area is warm and welcoming, with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and plenty of natural light. The centrepiece is the reworked fireplace, now housing a wood burner - perfect for cosy evenings spent chatting, dining, and relaxing. The well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need to prepare delicious meals to enjoy in this inviting space. A few steps lead to the first of two bedrooms, a comfortable double. The second bedroom, on the opposite side of the property, boasts a four-poster double bed, a Smart TV, and French doors opening onto the patio with rural views. A stylishly tiled family bathroom with a rainfall shower over the bath completes the internal layout. The outdoor patio is a peaceful haven, featuring a table and chairs for al fresco dining and exceptional views of the estate’s walled garden. This pet-friendly cottage also offers access to a nearby enclosed field (when not used for livestock), providing plenty of space for your four-legged friend to explore. Ample private parking is available on the driveway, making your stay as convenient as it is comfortable.

Nestled within the grounds of a historic 17th-century estate, the property benefits from a tranquil setting surrounded by dramatic mountains alongside the gentle flow of the River Tanat. Step into the crisp countryside air and embark on endless hiking and cycling opportunities around Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant (4.5 miles) and Llanfyllin (5 miles).

The cottage itself is very nice. Two good sized bedrooms, a good living space and kitchen facilities and a good bathroom. The patio is a nice place to sit in the sun, read a bit, enjoy the view on the walled garden, etc. The equipment is generally good; we had all we needed. There are, however, also some downsides to the property. It is located neRead morext to a quite busy road, which one may or may not consider disturbing. And despite having all we needed, the welcoming was quite poor. It was a lot of see for yourself. There was no welcoming package and we found for example kitchen towels only after two days in the back of a drawer. More importantly, there was no information about wifi, local doctors, waste disposal, tv, etc. We managed to find out ourselves, but had to turn the router upside down for the wifi code. The most uncomfortable issue, however, was by far the very very thick duvet in the (poster bed) bed room. We had warm weather, but not extreme. But this duvet . Very uncomfortable for sleeping (slept under the sheets instead in the end). Despite these remarks, we did have a good stay and enjoyed our trips around. I would say: the downsides are easy fixes for the owners. If done, it would certainly be a five star property! Hide

The cottage is in a superb location - perhaps the only downside given the very hot weather, was hearing the traffic noise from the bedroom whose gable wall abuts the road. With the gable window AND French window open to keep cool, the traffic noise was somewhat disturbing. However, for dog owners, the ability to enjoy a dog proof patio as well asRead more access to the paddock for exercise was invaluable. You can also take the footpath opposite, which leads diagonally across the field to access the river Tanat - ideal for dogs to cool off in the hot weather. In case of bad weather, take your own books and games - the cottage didn't have a supply. Note that the directions on the website need updating I notified holidaycottages about this some time ago but they haven't yet changed the info - the Green Inn pub which is mentioned, is now the Green Cafe so wasn't open in the evenings. Check opening times before you go - it's walkable distance and there is a footway at the side of the road. The property lacks a Welcome Pack, but I have mentioned this to the owner so I hope there will soon be one - we didn't find the router in the bedroom immediately - and that's where the Wifi information can be found. Similarly, despite the very hot weather, the beds were provided with winter weight duvets!! Again, this has been notified to the owner so should be remedied soon. There's an excellent footpath up through the nearby warren which is found behind Llangedwyn Hall. There are no public footpath signs but it is marked on the relevant OS maps. Hide

A very nice restoration of an old Smithy, using high end products such as Corston switches and sockets, Neptune bathroom fittings, and beautiful fabrics. The bedroom with the four poster bed could benefit from double glazing as the noise from early morning trucks woke us up. Internet problems were not resolved and we also couldnt use the tv. HowevRead moreer, we did enjoy our week here, because of wall to wall sunshine and exploring the beautiful area. Wouldnt really recommend the nearest pub, but a trip into Oswestry to find decent ale was worth the effort. Hide

We were really delighted with the Smithy, loved the feel of it, very welcoming, warm and comfortable, we had a lovely time there, it was one of our favourite holiday properties. All the fixtures and fittings were top end quality, plus it had a safe enclosed space for the dogs too!
