About this property

Meifod 7.9 miles. Perched in the peaceful village of Dolanog, Powys discover this fabulous seven-bedroom holiday home, Tan Yr Allt. Boasting plenty of living spaces where you and your loved ones can relax and enjoy quality time together, off-road parking and a large and enclosed rear garden with a private lake, Tan Yr Allt welcomes a total of thirteen guests to relish the ultimate escape to North Wales. Upon entering your new home-from-home, kick back and relax in the homely sitting room with a glass of wine in hand as the woodburning stove crackles away; allow the allocated chef to rustle up a feast in the well-equipped kitchen, ready to settle down in the designated dining room where you can savour your mealtimes with stunning lakeside views in your backdrop. A first-floor snug provides alternative living spaces to ensure your whole party is catered for. If you prefer to spend your evenings alfresco, soak your tired legs in the bubbling hot tub, or make use of the lake for fishing and an afternoon dip in summer months! Retreating back indoors, head to the spacious bathroom to wash away the day before opting for one of seven wonderfully-decorated bedrooms including four super-king-sizes, a king-size, a twin and a single, some even boasting their own handy en-suite facilities. In the morning, kickstart your exploration in Meifod, where you’ll find your nearest conveniences including a handy shop and pub so you can stock up on the essentials or treat your loved ones to some hearty fare on the days you don’t feel like cooking. Further afield, head to the pretty town of Welshpool, home to the National Trust owned Powis Castle and Garden, Welshpool and Llanfair Railway and Llyn Coed y Dinas Nature Reserve, perfect for a scenic stroll. If you’re seeking adventure, spend the day in the Snowdonia National Park where you’ll find Zip World Llechwedd, Glyder Fawr and Yr Wyddfa, guaranteed to get your hearts racing! Head to Lake Vyrnwy, a stunning reservoir where you can escape hustle and bustle for a little while, or head further afield to the city of Wrexham and visit the football club made famous by their Hollywood owners. However you choose to fill your days in North Wales, make Tan Yr Allt your homely base.

Meifod is a charming tiny stone-built village by the River Vyrnwy that enjoys plenty of sunshine, is surrounded by rolling hills and wooded areas, and has a post office, a local tavern, and a convenience shop. This charming community, located approximately 7 miles to the northwest of Welshpool, also includes tennis courts (day passes are reasonably priced at the village store), its own football and rugby teams, and a historic church where two former princes of Powys are rumoured to be buried. Purchasing fishing licences for the Rivers Vyrnwy and Banwy is also possible at the village store. Within a short drive away are Lake Vyrnwy, home to an rspb reserve, and Pistyll Rhaeader (Llanrhader waterfall), a 240-foot waterfall that cascades in three stages and is regarded as one of Wales' seven natural wonders. Both locations have scientific value. Five of North Wales' top mountain biking locations are all within an hour's drive of Gwyndu Cottage. One of the tiniest towns in Powys is close by and located in the Banwy valley of historic Montgomeryshire. The steam Welshpool to Llanfair Light Railway is just a short stroll from the town center's hilly streets across the Banwy Bridge. A vibrant market town called Welshpool is located 4 miles from the Welsh/English border in the Severn Valley. A renovated cockfighting pit, an intriguing History Trail, and a delightful mix of shops, fine pubs, and restaurants are all there. See the renowned Powis castle from the 13th century or take a sail down the Montgomery canal. Here, you can have a wonderful afternoon. You can admire the Georgian architecture while having a leisurely stroll through the town. A golf club with a privileged location, overlooking the lovely Welsh borderlands, is the ideal place to develop your swing. The country town of Shrewsbury, with its Tudor half-timbered buildings, museums, and great shopping experiences, is located further away. A chance not to be passed up!
