    “We had a great stay.”

    Beautiful cottage with even nicer views! The only thing that we thought was missing was instructions on how to use the hot tub and the sauna and the fridge was too cold and froze all our food. Geoff responded very quickly to our questions when we were there.

The property

Llandrindod Wells 9.9 miles.

Nestled in the small village of Llanbister near Llandrindod Wells, Powys is this historic, single-storey cottage, The Old Cobblers Shop.

This Grade II listed building was once a cobblers shop and now invites two guests for a romantic escape, complete with a hot tub, sauna and beautiful countryside views.

Park up in the off-road parking area and be wowed by the stone exterior of this quaint little cottage.

Step inside to warm your feet on the underfloor heating and discover a studio-style layout, well-equipped and furnished to suit two guests seeking a basic home-from-home to explore the wilds of Wales.

Prepare a meal for your loved one in the kitchen area with microwave and hob, small fridge with ice box, before snuggling up in the sitting area by the warmth of the woodburning stove.

Curl up under the sheets of the double bed and catch your rest ready for the next day's adventures, which begins with a hot rinse in the separate shower room.

Throw muddy walking gear straight into the handy, external utility with a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as space for boots and bikes to keep The Old Cobblers Shop clutter-free.

The outdoor areas of the cottage are sure to please anyone seeking a rural retreat; dine alfresco and toast to your holiday in the enclosed garden with furniture and a fire pit for added comfort.

Take the steps up to the first terrace and cook up a storm in the pizza oven to enjoy freshly baked slices and fabulous views.

Grab your towels and head to a second terrace; sink into the hot tub and let any stress roll off your shoulders, whilst hard-working muscles can be rejuvenated in the sauna.

Take a break from cooking and dine at The Lion Hotel, less than a mile away from the cottage, passing Llanbister Church and admiring the peaceful little village.
