Immerse yourself in Welsh culture and country life from this traditional cottage in the market town of Llanfair Caereinion. Sleeping four, it’s an attractive base for couples or a small family looking to explore Mid Wales and Montgomeryshire’s picturesque Banwy Valley. After days out, you’ll look forward to returning to this cosy hideaway to rest and recharge. Put the kettle on, cut yourself a slice of the Bara Brith you’ve picked up in town and savour every morsel in the garden or beside the glow of the wood burner. Absolute bliss.
The cottage is homely and welcoming, with exposed brickwork and pops of colour adding to its character. Stock up the farmhouse-style kitchen with tasty produce to make delicious breakfasts and suppers. Or fill bowls with snacks to enjoy out in the courtyard garden with a bottle of wine as you chat about the best bits of your holiday so far. On cosy nights indoors, light a fire and find a gripping movie on the TV that everyone will enjoy before heading upstairs to the two cottage-style double bedrooms for a comfortable night’s sleep.
Enjoy a heritage steam train ride on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, just half a mile from the property, travelling through the Banwy Valley to Welshpool. Here you can browse the shops, stroll alongside the canal or visit one of Europe’s largest sheep markets, held every Monday. Elsewhere, the mighty Powis Castle and Garden (11 miles) showcases a collection of South Asian artefacts and beautiful Italianate terraces. For moments of quiet contemplation, follow the riverside paths beside the Afon Banwy, which runs through Llanfair Caereinion, or pack a picnic and head to Lake Vyrnwy (17 miles) to tuck in surrounded by beautiful scenery.
