About this property
A beautifully-presented, detached barn conversion situated in the grounds of the owner's home, in a tranquil setting in the rural hamlet of Aberhafesp. With luxury upside down accommodation designed to take advantage of the wonderful view stretching across the Severn Valley, along with impressive features including a large pool and a hot tub, these cottages offer accommodation for a special getaway with friends and family. These contemporary cottages offer a unique holiday base, with two identical accommodation areas incorporating living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms, separated by an inter-connecting door, creating wonderfully flexible accommodation, perfect for two groups wishing to enjoy a holiday together but still retreat to their own space at the end of each day.
There are six bedrooms set on the ground floor, two benefiting from en-suites and French doors opening out to the garden, as well as two quality family bathrooms. The two kitchens, with dining areas and comfy seating, are extremely well equipped, whilst the charming sitting rooms are each complete with a woodburner, which you can nestle beside after an evening's peaceful soak in the hot tub under the wide starry sky. The spacious south-facing garden also offers a pretty patio area, perfect for dining alfresco after a refreshing morning swim in the large pool, which is housed in a separate building just a few seconds' stroll from the property.
The whole area surrounding these beautiful cottages in Wales is a wonderland for adventure, with walking, cycling, fishing, clay pigeon shooting and quad biking opportunities within very easy reach. Discover the romantic ruins of the ancient Motte-and-Bailey castles situated in the nearby old county town of Montgomery, and in the hills set above the village of Abermule. Visit grand Powis Castle and Gardens, the delightful medieval town of Ludlow in nearby Shropshire, or the attractive coastal village of Aberdovey on the stunning Cardigan Bay Coast, a paradise for watersports enthusiasts. These excellent cottages provide a rare opportunity for groups to spend quality time together and still appreciate some private moments after exciting days enjoying the superb on-site facilities and stunning surrounding area.

The Rectory cottages and orangery were wonderful so well equipped. Beautiful views, lovely garden. Stuart was so kind and helpful to us. We would definitely return. We used the swimming pool every day, it was so clean and well equipped. The games room was really lovely too but we didnât use it as much, probably more suitable for older children. We stayed in for several days just playing in the garden or the pool. We did have a couple of days out and a nice walk in Newtown by the river/canal. New town is a nice town, We also went to Telford to Hoo Zoo definitely worth a visit and we visited Powis castle again a really beautiful place. We arranged a food delivery from Tesco in Newtown which arrived early on our first day. We also used a lovely Indian restaurant in Newtown called Ghulan, where we collected the takeaway, they catered for our gluten free diet too. We had takeaway fish and chips from a shop in Caersws, it was all lovely too, sadly they didnât cater for gluten free after Iâd phoned and been told they would. For us it was a really relaxing holiday in the most beautiful setting. Thank you Stuart and your team. Hopefully see you again soon. Louise and family

The layout of the bedrooms suited us well and the kitchens were well equipped. The views from the cottage were beautiful and could be enjoyed from the hot tub. The indoor swimming pool and the games room were used every day by the grandchildren and greatly added to their enjoyment. Stuart was very friendly and welcoming - we hope to return for another family holiday.
