About this property

Guilsfield 3 miles. Positioned in the quaint village of Pentrebeirdd near Guilsfield in Powys is The Marshes, a stone-fronted, single-storey cottage. Enjoying far-reaching, countryside views towards Welshpool, and an enclosed rear garden with a sweeping lawn, The Marshes offers six guests the ideal base for a rural escape, also featuring flexible sleeping arrangements and a homely interior. Travel down the gated driveway, arriving to ample private parking, before entering the property, firstly reaching the sitting room, adorning plush seating, a Smart TV, and a gas fire, where you can kick back and relax after a day of adventure. Venture through to the kitchen/diner, also complete with a well-equipped utility, where you can fulfil your self-catering needs; if you'd prefer to enjoy breat-taking vistas whilst dining and socialising, head outdoors to the enclosed rear garden. Catch some rest in one of three well-appointed bedrooms, including a double with en-suite shower room, a further double, and a twin (zip/link), all serviced by a bathroom. Awaken to a coffee upon the patio before grabbing your walking boots for a day of exploration, starting off at the Meifod Valley Alpacas, a favourite for families, before travelling into Welshpool, home to a local golf club, the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway Preservation, offering immersive tours of the town, the magnificent grounds of Powis Castle and Garden, and Llyn Coed y Dinas Nature Reserve, ideal for birdwatching and hiking.
