Note: The cottage is situated close to the valley road, so some associated noise may be heard at times. Note: Sloping ceilings and some restricted head height in the second-floor double bedroom. Note: The second-floor bedroom is accessed via stairs from the snug. Note: Mobile signal is intermittent due to location. Note: Stairs are fairly steep. A travel cot, stairgate and highchair can be requested.

At the base of the Milltir Cerrig mountain, in North Powys's rolling farmland, is the little village of Llangynog. The town is great for leisurely strolls along the River Afon Tant, and nearby is a stone-built church where you can learn about the area's history. The New Inn offers breathtaking views of the Snowdonia Mountain range and dining options, and a short drive will take you to a well-stocked Post Office where you can stock up on supplies. For an action-packed day, head to the mediaeval market town of Bala, where you can go climbing, abseiling, mountain biking, canoeing, and kayaking on the glacial lake. The tallest single drop waterfall in England and Wales, Llanrhaeadr Waterfall, is also easily accessible. Alternatively, you can cross the border into Shropshire and see Shrewsbury, a town with a rich history and a Grade I castle. This is a stunning area of the nation and is a great starting point for exploring Shropshire and the rest of North and Mid Wales.
