    “We had a fabulous time at this property, which exceeded our expectations in terms of facilities and location.”

    Good use was made of the lake with swimming and fishing (a few small ones caught and released!), and of course the hot tub. The view from the terrace is lovely and it's in full sun for the afternoon/evening. The lake and grounds surrounding the house are enclosed and completely private. Good quality beds and bed linen and a well equipped kitchen. Plenty of bathrooms over the 3 floors (we had one floor per family, which worked really well. Everyone could be seated comfortably around the dining ...

    Good use was made of the lake with swimming and fishing (a few small ones caught and released!), and of course the hot tub. The view from the terrace is lovely and it's in full sun for the afternoon/evening. The lake and grounds surrounding the house are enclosed and completely private. Good quality beds and bed linen and a well equipped kitchen. Plenty of bathrooms over the 3 floors (we had one floor per family, which worked really well. Everyone could be seated comfortably around the dining table and there was room outside too. Extra parking in the village car park was easy and no problem. Things that we found to do are: 1. walk from the village across the fields and back along the forest track (about 3 miles) - suggested by the owner - really nice 2. walk from the village past the chapel (Ann Griffiths walk) uphill - you can get to the top of the hill and on to the next village (need walking boots). 3. Roomination - Escape rooms - about 7 miles away in Llanfyllin (20 min drive) There is one room, takes up to 6 people - very good. 4. Llanfyllin Workhouse - there is a history centre - this is in the same place as the Escape rooms. 5. Lake Vyrnwy - 25 mins drive. There's a car park(free) at the top end of the lake and a 2 mile easy work to a fantastic waterfall. You can also park at the main car park (charge) and do other walks - the Dam walk, and there's an Artisans cafe where you can buy ice cream. 6. Powis Castle (National Trust). 25 mins drive Lovely day out, but not suitable of the less abled - you walk up from the car park and then down to the gardens. Also consider Chirk Castle (one hours drive) 7. Llanfair light railway - you have to buy a return ticket, which is expensive. It's a good 1/2 mile from the station in Welshpool into the town, and not enough time anyway. There's a pub (the Raven) by the station in Welshpool which is open all day every day. 8. Gregynog Gardens & walks - 30 mins drive - £3 to park and then can do forest walks, but they are not well marked. There's a cafe there as well and a hall (not for visiting). Thank you and we have booked to return next year!

About the location

MEIFOD, POWYS

Llanfair Caereinion 6 miles; Llanfyllin 6 miles; Welshpool 7 miles; Lake Vrnwy 11 miles; Shrewsbury 27 miles

Meifod is a sunny little, stone-built village by the River Vyrnwy with a local pub and convenience store with a post office, enveloped by rolling hills and woodland, with attractive houses. Situated about 7 miles north-west of Welshpool, this pretty village also offers tennis courts (day tickets can be purchased cheaply from the village shop), its own ruby and football teams and a historic church where there is said to be the royal tombs of 2 former princes of Powys. Fishing permits for the River Vyrnwy and Banwy can also be purchased from the village shop. Lake Vyrnwy with its RSPB reserve and Pistyll Rhaeader (Llanrhader waterfall) a 240ft waterfall in 3 stages, which is counted as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales, are only a short drive away. Both are sites of scientific interest. Gwyndu Cottage is about an hours drive away from 5 of the best places to ride mountain bikes in North Wales. Nearby, Llanfair Caereinion is in the heart of old Montgomeryshire's Banwy valley and is one of the smallest towns in Powys. Just a short walk over the Banwy Bridge from the hilly streets of the town centre, is the steam Welshpool to Llanfair Light Railway. Welshpool is a bustling market town, nestled in the Severn Valley 4 miles from the border between Wales and England. There is a lovely blend of shops, quality pubs and restaurants, as well as a restored cock fighting pit and interesting Heritage Trail. Visit the famous 13th Century Powis castle, or enjoy a cruise along the Montgomery canal. There is much to be enjoyed of an afternoon here. A gentle stroll through the town will have you taking in the Georgian architecture, there is even a golf club with a top of the world situation, overlooking the picturesque Welsh borderlands - a perfect location to practice your swing! Further afield is country town of Shrewsbury, with its half-timbered Tudor buildings, museums and lovely shopping experiences. An opportunity not to be missed!
