Walk into Llanidloes (within 0.5 miles) to enjoy an array of activities, cafes, pubs, restaurants, independent shops and galleries, not forgetting the striking Old Market Hall, Minerva Arts Centre and the museum. Enjoy fine architecture, cultural heritage and culinary delights in and around the area. Explore the stunning countryside from the doorstep, choose one of the many footpaths and cycle routes through the majestic rolling hills in the Cambrian Mountains and Mid Wales. Take a trip to Rhayader and the Elan Valley, visit the Clywedog Reservoir and the Red Kites Feeding Station, all within 10 miles.

Park the car and enter this intriguing historic cottage with all your creature comforts and interesting features throughout. As you walk into the property, straight ahead is the creatively designed kitchen, with original gaol bars at the feature window, and equipped with all you need to rustle up a meal with local produce purchased on your travels. When the meal is ready, the dining table, nestling amongst features of the former gaol, is perfectly positioned by the door which you can open to listen to the birdsong and babbling river whilst enjoying your food and planning your holiday activities. After a full day out, relax on the sofa and chairs for cosy nights in watching your favourites on the Freesat TV, playing board games or losing yourself in a book. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs and choose from two bedrooms, the double with riverside views and the twin, both designed for a good night’s sleep. Start the day with a leisurely bath or shower before you go out exploring.
Outside, there is the enclosed paved patio with steps down to seating to embrace the river views, listen to the wildlife and the babbling River Severn. It’s a lovely spot for morning coffee by the river or dining on the paved patio with a charcoal BBQ and furniture. There is a public playground with swings and frames next to the property.

A well-equipped and cosy riverside cottage, perfect for Llani town, local food, gorgeous walks and adventures further afield. The infant Hafren running just yards away makes this an idyllic setting for a quality stay. Peaceful, pleasant, clean and well equipped - we'd recommend to anyone.

A very characterful, cosy cottage in a perfect location for visiting the charming little town of Llanidloes. It was spotlessly clean and fully equipped, with fantastic views of the river. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break. The Hafren Forest was just a 15 minute drive away and a magical experience.

The Old Roundhouse has been sympathetically and lovingly renovated. It's quirky, cosy, very comfortable and very well equipped. The location is ideal both for walking into town and for exploring the area more widely. Very happy to recommend.

The cottage has everything you need. Very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and an idyllic setting next to the river. The only thing needed improving was the weather but that didnt stop us getting out exploring Llanidloes and the Mid Wales area. What a great find. Thoroughly recommend. We will definitely be back for another visit.
