If waking up to sparkling river views sounds appealing, stay at this cheerful holiday cabin in the peaceful village of Llanyblodwel. It sleeps four guests across two flexible bedrooms, making it a wonderful base for couples, small families or friends keen to explore the Welsh Borderlands. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful countryside with fantastic walking and cycling routes close by, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get out and discover this scenic corner of Wales. The market town of Oswestry (4 miles) has everything you need for shopping and places to eat out, too.
The hub of this sweet home is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area, where floor-to-ceiling patio doors perfectly frame those beautiful river views. The stylish kitchen has everything you need for food prep, and there’s a dining table for sitting down to meals. Afterwards, settle into the corner sofa with your favourite programmes on the TV and a cosy electric fire for cooler evenings. The property has two flexible bedrooms – a king-size that can be made up as a twin on request, and a twin that can be converted into a king-size if preferred – along with a contemporary shower room. Outside, make the most of the riverside in the tranquil garden, featuring loungers, a private hot tub, a patio with outdoor dining furniture, a charcoal BBQ and a fire pit for evenings under the stars. Private off-road parking is available for two cars, including one space with an EV charging point.
Here for the hikes? Pull on your walking boots and explore the famous National Trust trail along Offa's Dyke (13.5 miles). The spectacular Llanrhaeadr Waterfall (12 miles), one of the Seven Wonders of Wales, is well worth the trip, or spend a day on the shores of Lake Vyrnwy (20 miles). Welshpool (12 miles) also makes an excellent day out – tour the magnificent Powis Castle and Gardens, stroll along the Montgomery Canal or climb aboard the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway for a nostalgic steam train journey through the Mid Wales countryside.
