About this property

Resting in Llanfair Caereinion, Powys is this charming three-bedroom cottage, Tan Y Ddol. With open-plan living, close access to amenities and splendidly characterful interior, this is a fantastic base for four guests to explore Mid Wales. Step into the gorgeous open-plan living space which has been lovingly decorated with farmhouse furnishings and delightful décor; the spacious, well-equipped kitchen area is every chef’s dream with everything you need for a self-catered stay. Set the table for a feast before snuggling up on the plush seating by the warmth of a woodburning stove; utilise the Smart TV for some light entertainment or, on warmer evenings, experience alfresco dining with use of the outdoor furniture and barbecue. Upstairs, you’ll find three elegant bedrooms complete with ample storage for all your personal belongings; the airy and spacious shower room is the idyllic spot for relaxing or freshening up before your day begins. Within the local village, there are plenty of well-stocked shops for picking up essentials, as well as Deri Woods and 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. Be sure to pay a visit to the nearby Mid Wales Alpacas Trek and Experience Farm, where you can meet and learn more about the alpacas, embark on a unique experience with alpaca treks through the rural countryside, there is a separate mini trail for the little ones and a meet and greet on offer for those unable to do the full trek, and end your day with a picture of you and your fluffy companion! Travel further to Welshpool and be impressed by the extraordinary Powys Castle and Gardens or try your hand at Golf at the Welshpool Golf Club; for nature lovers Llyn Coed y Dinas Nature Reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife including birds, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, and damselflies. Further afield, there is the magnificent Lake Vyrnwy, a hidden gem nestled on the edge of The Snowdonia National Park where you can walk, cycle, sail, paddle and birdwatch, ideal for the whole family. For a memorable getaway to Powys, choose Tan Y Ddol.

In the valley of the river Banwy, the town of Llanfair Caereinion was constructed on the remains of a former Roman fort. With a Post Office, two supermarkets, and a choice of three different pubs, it is a vibrant town centred on The Church of St. Mary. Locals love the yearly Llanfair Caereinion Carnival, which passes through the town with a full parade of floats and dancing groups to recreate the carnival atmosphere of Rio. Before travelling back in time and boarding the start of the narrow-gauge vintage steam railway that goes 8.5 miles west to Welshpool, there is a river walk along the banks of the Banwy that leads to an arboretum with over 25 distinct varieties of British trees. Welshpool is tucked away in the upper slopes of the lovely Severn Valley, not far from the Welsh-English border. This thriving market town is surrounded by rich, unspoiled farmland and rolling hills. Along with the rebuilt cock fighting pit and intriguing Heritage Trail in the town centre, there is a distinctive mix of stores selling arts and crafts, fashion and leisure, fresh produce, and great pubs and restaurants. Visit the famed Dingle Gardens and the well-known Powys Castle from the 13th century. Take advantage of beautiful walks and bike rides along National walking trails and the Offa's Dyke Pathway or take a summertime boat down the Montgomery Canal.

    Such a beautifull cottage,everything needed was ther,lovely friendly peacefull locations,neighbours were a big help in providing information on places to visit

  • Catherine

    It has been refurbished very tastefully and has a strong sense of place. Items of antique furniture stand side by side with modern ones and a lot of thought has clearly gone into the decor. All appliances and finishes are of high quality and exceed expectations of a holiday let. The wood-burner was wonderful!

  • Ian

    It is conveniently placed for access to the surrounding area and the village is beautiful, although it was never designed for the volume of modern day traffic. Colin was very welcoming, friendly and helpful, explaining the layout of the house, and his assistance was appreciated. This is a recommended base for a holiday in North-east Wales.
