    “Our family had a wonderful week at Cwmwr.”

    Accommodation is set in a beautiful valley with walks straight from your door. The house is well equipped and very spacious, and we loved the games room & hot tub to watch the red kites soaring overhead. Peaceful, relaxing... what more could you want?

    Hi Tom. It was a pleasure to host you and your family. So glad you enjoyed the great outdoors in all its autumnal glory. Whilst doing the changeover we watched a hedgehog walk across the lawn and head into the farm, some geese, herons and loads of Red kites. It’s lovely when guests relax and appreciate the area and what it has to offer. The house was in tip top condition upon your departure, so thank you it means the world when people look after our home. Xx Property Owner

The property

Resting within the traditional village of Penybontfawr in Powys, is Cwmwr, a stone-fronted, country-style cottage.

Welcoming eight guests, the cottage enjoys a nature-filled setting enveloped by rolling hills and woodland, whilst offering both families and groups of friends a private hot tub, a contemporary living space, adorning A-framed beams, and an external games room, providing attractive features for a self-catered break.

Park up on the gated driveway before entering Cwmwr, arriving at the farmhouse kitchen, featuring all expected amenities to ease your stay, along with a neighbouring dining room, complete with a lofty eight-seater table, enjoying views to the garden.

If you'd prefer to dine alfresco, set the patio table as the hot tub warms up, before enjoying a soak as the sun sets.

Retire to the homely sitting room for a film night, with the woodburning stove alight, or locate the games room for a night of entertainment.

As sleep calls, select between four well-appointed bedrooms, including a super-king-size with en-suite, two twin bedrooms with zip/link features, and a ground-floor bunk, all serviced by a contemporary bathroom with an indulgent roll-top bath, and a ground-floor shower room.

Awaken to vistas across the extensive fields before travelling towards Llyn Vyrnwy Dam and lake, offering the ideal setting for a leisurely walk.

Those who enjoy the outdoors will also favour a visit to Pistyll Rhaeadr, enveloped by Berwyn Mountains, followed by a picnic upon Y Berwyn National Nature Reserve.

Cwmwr is well-positioned to aboard Bala Lake Railway, or to explore Snowdonia National Park, before crossing the English border, with visits to Oswestry Town Museum, the Old Oswestry Hill Fort, and Chirk Castle.

Make wonderful memories at Cwmwr.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.
