About this property

Llanrhaeadr-Ym-Mochnant 1.8 miles.Bwthyn Y Bugail (Shepherd's Cottage) is a plush barn conversion set within open countryside at Pedairffordd, near Llanrhaeadr-y-Mochnant in Powys. Ideal for families or groups of friends, it pairs far-reaching views across the Berwyn Mountains with generous living space, private outdoor indulgence and shared on-site facilities. Arrival is a moment to pause, with the surrounding hills stretching out in every direction and a sense of calm that defines this rural setting. Part of The Castellmoch Collection, the property sits among neighbouring conversions while retaining its own sense of privacy and character. Step inside and the flow of the building immediately feels considered, guiding you easily from one space to the next.

The heart of the home is the sitting room, where wooden flooring runs beneath your feet and an exposed brick fireplace draws the eye. As evening settles in, the woodburning stove becomes the natural gathering point, sink back into the sofas, share stories from the day and let the warmth take the edge off cooler nights. From here, move through to the bright kitchen/diner, finished with tiled flooring and designed for sociable, unhurried living. Light pours in through the patio doors as meals come together, with the dining table set beside a striking exposed stone wall and a wall-mounted TV for relaxed family dinners.

The breakfast bar, lined with stools, invites slower mornings with coffee or casual conversations as plans for the day take shape. Sleeping accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across five bedrooms, each dressed with quality linens and super-king-size zip-and-link beds to suit a range of group make‑ups. Wake to countryside views in the ground-floor bedroom with its en-suite wetroom, or unwind in the family bedroom with an additional day bed. A double bedroom with en-suite bath and walk-in shower offers a peaceful retreat, while two further bedrooms each benefit from their own en-suite shower room, ensuring comfort and privacy for up to eleven guests.

Step outside and the garden becomes an extension of the living space, whatever the time of year. Fire up the barbecue when the mood takes you, dine beneath open skies and ease into the hot tub as daylight fades, soaking beneath a stretch of stars with nothing but the sounds of the countryside around you. For something a little livelier, the shared games room offers hours of friendly competition, complete with a pool table and table football, perfect for bringing everyone together. Bwthyn Y Bugail (Shepherd's Cottage) offers a relaxed yet memorable base for exploring this quiet corner of Wales, bringing together space, setting and atmosphere for a stay that feels special at any time of year.
