Old Rectory House
Description
Caersws 3.2 miles.
Nestled in the Welsh countryside in the small village of Aberhafesp in Powys, Wales is the Old Rectory House.
This decadent holiday home boasts luxurious bedrooms, off-road parking for ten cars, a unique cinema room, swimming pool and expansive garden with a hot tub surrounded by the luscious rolling Welsh fields, making this a wonderful setting for a family gathering in the countryside.
Old Rectory House was designed by Thomas Penson, who was born in Wrexham and studied with architect and bridge builder, Thomas Harrison.
During his time as a county surveyor, he remodelled a courtroom and later built eight beautiful churches.
Cross the threshold into the beautifully-presented entrance hall with its grand staircase and head into either of the sitting rooms to unwind on the plush sofas, while the kids entertain themselves in the cinema room.
Gather the family around the large dining table and tuck into the home-cooked meal the designated chef of the group prepared in the fully-equipped contemporary kitchen; cheers to your gathering and cherish the memories you have created.
Venture onto the patio and delight in a soothing soak in the hot tub while the sun sets, providing a truly memorable backdrop.
Retire to any of the eight bedrooms; the ground floor is completed by a super-king and the first floor houses four super-kings, two kings, and a double with a balcony overlooking the grounds.
All of the upstairs rooms are serviced by sleek en-suite bathrooms and shower rooms, ideal for maintaining privacy.
Be sure to get some well-earned rest before another fun-filled day in Wales.
The Old Rectory House lies in a quiet village, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but is just a short drive from Caersws, home to The Unicorn Bar and Restaurant and The Buck Hotel where you can treat your loved ones to a delicious meal or celebratory drinks.
This wonderful holiday home is ideally located for those looking to explore castles, such as Dolforwyn and Mongomery, which are scattered throughout the countryside.
Be sure to visit the National Trust site of Powis Castle where you can tour the medieval fortress and take leisurely strolls through its expansive gardens.
Keen ramblers can enjoy a scenic drive to Snowdonia National Park where they can traverse a variety of walks and trails, the adventurous may even try and tackle Snowdon Peak where they will be rewarded with breath-taking, panoramic views across North Wales.
The coast is also within reach; head to Aberystwyth to experience its beach and stunning vistas across the Irish Sea from the clifftops.
The Old Rectory is an idyllic base for a large family gathering in Powys, Wales.

What guests are saying
The Old Rectory was perfect for our group of 7 couples who come together each year for a walking holiday.
The house was spotlessly clean and very well appointed and the views from the open plan area were stunning. Stuart, the owner, gave us a piano recital on a couple of nights, which was a real highlight. All in all, we had a great week.
Lovely holiday in a really great house.
The owner was very helpful even giving us a piano recital on arrival. A few minor points which I don't think would be picked up unless you stayed overnight. Some of the bedside lights need new bulbs and when it rains the guttering overflows and makes a lot of noise particularly from the courtyard. One of the bathroom doors is hard to open and the downstairs shower in bedroom 8 had a issue with temperature control. Although it was lovely having all the different lounges and areas to sit in , all 14 adults could not be accommodated in one area , and we were expressly told not to move furniture . This could be remedied by adding an extra 4 seater sofa in the bay windowed lounge we felt , then everyone could have sat together around the fire. We do appreciate that the current set up works really well for multi generational group. Hope you don't mind this feedback , we do this every year as a group so have seen lots of different set ups. We all had an amazing time , the pool and hot tub were a great added bonus . Thank you
Well, what an amazing house and holiday !
!! Plenty of room for the 15 guests. In fact, another 10 people and it still wouldn’t be crowded. The outlook was superb and was never tired of looking at that view. Stuart the owner, called by a couple of times to check all was ok. He also gave us some piano recitals ! I thought it was missing a ground floor toilet, but found it on the final day
