In the valley of the River Banwy, the town of Llanfair Caereinion was constructed on the remains of a former Roman fort. With a Post Office, two supermarkets, and a choice of three different pubs, it is a vibrant town centred on The Church of St. Mary. Locals love the yearly Llanfair Caereinion Carnival, which passes through the town with a full parade of floats and dancing groups to recreate the carnival atmosphere of Rio. Before travelling back in time and boarding the start of the narrow-gauge vintage steam railway that goes 8.5 miles west to Welshpool, there is a river walk along the banks of the Banwy that leads to an arboretum with over 25 distinct varieties of British trees. Welshpool is tucked away in the upper slopes of the lovely Severn Valley, not far from the Welsh-English border. This thriving market town is surrounded by lush, unspoiled farmland and rolling hills. Along with the rebuilt cock fighting pit and intriguing Heritage Trail in the town centre, there is a distinctive mix of stores selling arts and crafts, fashion and leisure, fresh produce, and great pubs and restaurants. Visit the famed Dingle Gardens and the well-known Powis Castle from the 13th century. Take advantage of beautiful walks and bike rides along National walking trails and the Offa's Dyke Pathway or take a summertime boat down the Montgomery Canal.

Would recommend again. Would recommend including the coordinates for the site as post code is a little inaccurate and website map not the easiest to read - 52°39'29.3"N 3°23'59.7"W

Exactly as described and really done to a high quality spec. The hot tub was hot on arrival and exactly what we needed when we arrived. The coordinates that were shared on another review we used to locate the cottage and they were spot on. Absolutely donât use the postcode, instructions or coordinates only! Our only slight feedback is the seating area which a few people have mentioned before. Great size and perfect for coffee but would suggest not so much for lounging. We went in February so evenings were about being indoors and cosy so noticed the seating then. Maybe a footstool (swapping the gorgeous coffee table) that could be pulled up against the sofa might help? Saying that Iâm sure in the summer with doors open, youâd be far less concerned and outside anyway. Brilliant stay and our children now want to live in âthe fairy houseâ. Thank you.

The accommodation was spotless, it was modern and absolutely beautiful. Every last detail had been thought about from tea and coffee and milk already being provided to ice cubes made up for us in the freezer! The surrounding area was breathtaking. Overall a fantastic stay and I have already recommended this to friends and family we will definitely return fantastic value for money.
