    “Another great stay at The Old Cart House.”

The cottage itself is very thoughtfully designed and laid out, it’s really well looked after, and it’s clean and tidy—there were even a couple of welcome gifts for us, including local Welsh cakes. Be aware that the internet is slow and patchy (it’s rural Wales—it is what it is), but this is a good excuse to put your phone down and go out star gazing as we did on a beautiful clear ...

The property

Looking out upon the glistening waters of Lake Vyrnwy in Powys, the lovely, one-bedroom holiday cottage of Old Cart House can be found.

Stone-built and timber-clad, featuring off-road parking for one car, a gravelled outdoor seating area with magnificent lake views, and an array of well-presented, hand-crafted interiors, this charming home welcomes a couple, and their two well-behaved dogs, for a refreshing getaway to the beautiful Welsh countryside.

Park up, and take a moment to breathe in your idyllic new surroundings, before you make yourself at home in your wonderful new abode, where you and your partner can prepare a tasty, home-cooked meal whilst you soak in gorgeous lake views through the French doors in the fully-equipped kitchen area; gather around the dining table, before you kick back and relax with a film on the wall-mounted Smart TV.

Once the sun has set, head upstairs to rejuvenate with a hot shower before you tuck yourselves in for a well-earned rest in a sumptuous double bed.

Make memories with your nearest and dearest in Wales when you book an escape to Old Cart House.

Lake Vyrnwy Cottages

Resting on the banks of the serene Lake Vyrnwy in Powys, North Wales, you will find the superb collection of holiday homes belonging to the Lake Vyrnwy Cottages. A trio of stone-built properties set within the same barn conversion, these cottages boast one off-road parking space per property, an outdoor seating area that enjoys breath-taking countryside and lake views - perfect for alfresco wining and dining, along with immaculate, bespoke, hand-crafted interiors carefully and lovingly designed by the owner's son, who is a carpenter by trade. Inside, you'll find fully-equipped, contemporary kitchens, living/sitting rooms complete with Smart TVs and plush seating, and bedrooms with accompanying en-suites, with some enjoying views of Lake Vyrnwy itself. The surroundings of the properties enjoy great access to iconic locations and landmarks such as the Giants of Vyrnwy Trail, the RSPB Llyn Vyrnwy, Dyfnant Forest, Rhiwagor Waterfall, and the mountain peak of Aran Fawddwy. During your stay, you can head to the nearby Dafarn Newydd: Village Stores, Takeaway & Fuel Station, which is just a short drive along the lake, whilst a delicious meal can be savoured at the Lake Vyrnwy Hotel and Spa or further afield at Goat Inn or The Hand Inn, both of which serve up traditional pub fare. For a full day out, jump in the car and explore the many wonders and attractions of the Eryri National Park, including King Arthur's Labyrinth, the viewpoint at Cwm Cynfal, Bala Lake Railway, the waterfall and gorge of Rhaeadr Y Graig Lwyd, and the Llanfair Slate Caverns. Whatever you choose to do during your next visit to North Wales, make sure you do it from the brilliant base of the Lake Vyrnwy Cottages.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
