Yr Hen Felin

About this property

Nestled in the peaceful countryside on the outskirts of Llanfyllin, Powys is this idyllic detached cottage, Yr Hen Felin. Welsh for 'the old mill', the property was once a bustling workshop, but now welcomes a family or group of six and their canine companion for a rural escape in a beautiful region of Wales. Follow a private driveway across a little bridge where your home-away-from-home awaits; ample off-road parking is available right in front of the property to easily unload your luggage! Step into the porch to kick off your walking shoes after a long hike, before settling into the spacious, L-shaped kitchen/diner. Perfectly appointed for socialising, gather around the large, wooden dining table for six whilst the group's chef prepares home-cooked treats in the kitchen, equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and a dishwasher to keep the space tidy; remnants of the old mill can be found throughout the property, including the old, brick bread oven nestled in the wall! Follow the winding stairs up to the first-floor sitting room, where high, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and Velux windows bring plenty of natural light into the snug, cottage-style space; retreat to the reading corner with a good book or snuggle up on the cushioned sofas with your favourite show on the TV. After the day's adventures, head to the lower ground floor and rinse off the day in the shower room, before catching your rest in one of two bedroom. Both the double and triple bunk provide storage space for your belongings and characterful, whilst the double also has access to the garden. With so much outdoor space for pets and little ones to play, why not head outside with your morning cup of coffee to the picnic bench? Listen to the babbling stream and enjoy the peace and quiet of your gorgeous, rural retreat. There are an abundance of scenic walks and cycling opportunities right from the doorstep, while the whole area is alive with interesting birdlife; explore the nearby Berwyn Mountains, the enchanting Lake Vyrnwy, and Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, a magical spot for a picnic. A short drive into Llanfyllin offers plenty of shops and eateries to choose from, alongside attractions within the Cain Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Y Dolydd, an early 19th-century workhouse. Welshpool is another bustling market town a little further south to discover local artefacts at The Wharf Powysland Museum, take a stroll along the picture-perfect canal, or visit the unique Powis Castle and its celebrated gardens. A truly magnificent holiday base at any time of year, choose Yr Hen Felin for your holiday to Wales.

Llanfyllin is a lovely town nestled deep in the scenic Cain Valley, surrounded by rolling hills and the Berwyn Mountains. There is a decent selection of stores where you can get all of your necessities, and Y Dolydd, an early 19th-century workhouse that was once featured on the BBC Restoration show. It is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with great architectural variety and outdoor activities, such as walking and cycling across the Berwyn Mountains.
