Timber frames, exposed stonework, and slate flooring are just some of the features that set this magnificent property apart – an exceptional Mid Wales escape for larger groups. Nestled deep within the Tanat Valley, you’re surrounded by outstanding walking opportunities, breathtaking scenery, and excellent cycle routes throughout your stay. Walk the 1.5-mile route down to Pen-y-Bont-Fawr, the tranquil local village, and embark on a tour of the steep hills and stunning valley views. Admire the impressive Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall (8.5 miles) and the limestone hill of Bwrdd Arthur (10.5 miles), both offering outdoor adventures nearby. A little further afield, cross into the Snowdonia National Park and explore Bala (14.5 miles) with its famous lake. Another nearby gem is Lake Vyrnwy (8 miles), best explored via the Giants of Vyrnwy Trail, which is dotted with picturesque waterfalls and breathtaking views.

Charming with age and brimming with character, this remarkable property is filled with natural light and offers double-height ceilings throughout. Underfloor heating on the ground floor welcomes you after long walks in chilly weather, and you can leave your boots and coats behind before settling in. The kitchen/diner serves as the social hub of family life, fully equipped to cater to all your needs, with a large dining table perfect for gathering around. Upstairs there is a separate utility room, complete with laundry facilities and extra storage space. Discover the lounge upstairs – an impressive space with large windows, comfortable sofas, and a wood burner. Walk through to the TV snug which features a large Smart TV. When it’s time to rest, explore the six beautifully furnished bedrooms spread throughout the property. The largest is a studio-style room with two double beds. Another spacious room is a super-king-size with a feature window and incredible views. Accessible from the lounge, a king-size bedroom includes a bath feature, perfect for soaking. Back downstairs, a south-facing king-size and a twin bedroom complete the offering. There’s plenty of space for freshening up across four bathrooms – two en-suites, one family bathroom, and a separate shower room.

The garden offers ample space for relaxation, games, and outdoor fun. Boasting panoramic valley views, the beautiful outdoor space has plenty of seating options for you to sit and enjoy the scenery.

A beautiful cottage in very scenic surroundings. The property is great but getting to is was a challenge! We weren't aware until receiving the arrival instructions about the track to the property not being suitable for low suspension vehicles and feel this should be stated before booking. Luckily one of our party had a 4x4 and had to taxi the rest Read moreof us from the village as there is no parking nearby if you can't get up the track. Hide

Beautiful location for large groups and family gatherings. Well appointed barn with plenty of space for all ages. Lovely walks nearby, very quiet location, and plenty to see and visit within a few miles. The hot tub was great fun and just what we needed to relax in. Friendly neighbours as well. To make it extra special we even had snow!

Absolutely fabulous property for get togethers. Beautiful quiet location, plenty of parking, loads of crockery/cooking equipment in the kitchen, bedrooms nicely spaced out, lots of room, house is very warm. Few things just need touching up e.g stiff doors but very homely. Clear instructions and helpful info about the property. WiFi is very temperamRead moreental but was even worse than portrayed in the listing (we only wanted to watch films/use their speaker system which we couldn't do) Would come back!
