About this cottage:

• There is lots to discover in the dramatic, unspoilt countryside which surrounds this Welsh country cottage near the Elan Valley.
• Get away from it all to this Welsh country cottage built in the 1700's 1200' above sea level in a valley surrounded by hills and farmland.
• Original exposed stonework, beamed ceilings, log burning stove, charming Victorian fireplaces, and a Rayburn to welcome you in the kitchen.
• The delightful sitting room has exposed beams, open hearth with log burning stove and a charming dresser full of pretty china.
• A farmhouse style kitchen with pine cupboards, butler sink and Rayburn shares its generous space with a honey coloured table and chairs on a traditional quarry tile floor.

• A secluded picturesque garden is wonderful to relax in, either by the pond, look out for kingfishers & woodpeckers, or on the old bench beneath the wisteria with delightful unspoilt views down the valley and over the countryside. Watch the Red Kites & Buzzards soar above.

• A perfect base for walkers, nature lovers, birdwatchers, cyclists and fisherfolk - there are several coarse and trout fishing lakes within easy reach by car and horse riding is available locally.

• Llanbadarn Fynydd is 5 miles away with community shop, cafe, fuel station and a newly re-opened pub, The New Inn, serving highly recommended food.
• More extensive amenities can be found in the bustling market town of Newtown 12 miles away including banks, post office, supermarkets, chemist, doctors, vet, filling station, cinema, Oriel gallery, museum, sports centre, theatre, night club and interesting independent shops.Weekly markets held outdoors on Tuesdays and indoors on Tuesdays and Saturdays sell a tempting array of fresh fish, meats, breads, fruit and vegetables.

• Mid Wales' only ten pin bowling centre with four state of the art lanes, provision for young children, a licensed bar and dining area. Great fun for the whole family.

• Red Kites are fed daily 3pm in summer and 2pm in winter. Watch their spectacular aerial acrobatics as they swoop and dive to snatch their prey.

• The Elan Valley, a short drive away, has 80 miles of rights of way including the Elan Valley Trail which follows the route of the old Elan Valley Railway – ideal for walkers, horse riders, cyclists, pushchairs and wheelchairs.
