Gather your family, friends, and four-pawed pals for a grand celebration at this luxurious estate in the heart of Wales. This collection of three beautiful properties within a private country escape encapsulates a whole host of tail-wagging treats from four-poster beds and spa areas to open fires and expansive grounds for your canines to run and play ensuring there is something to please every guest. From the town of Welshpool, you can let your dog lead the way to adventure on Offa’s Dyke, an iconic trail running between the England/Wales border for 177 miles in total, with plenty of ear-pricking pleasures along the way.
The first of the three properties is an imposing country house with a characterful country-style kitchen, an elegant dining room and a luxurious lounge with a wood burner, perfect for late evening snoozes. Five stylish bedrooms can be found between the first and second floors furnished with super-king-size beds and en-suites for added privacy. Next door is the first of the two lodges sleeping up to 16 guests. The open-plan living area makes this an ideal spot for everyone to gather, with an undercover ‘hideout’ acting as a great location for celebrations or BBQs. Two of the eight bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, including a king-size bedroom and a twin, both of which enjoy en-suites. Meanwhile, the remaining six bedrooms can be found upstairs, two of which have en-suites benefitting from roll-top baths for an indulgent evening soak. Property three is a handsome lodge which has the ‘wow’ factor thanks to its spa area. Whether you want to head through to the treatment room for a massage, take a dip in the plunge pool or sit and take deep breaths in the walk-in sauna, there are plenty of facilities to help you truly relax. Aside from the spa, the property boasts a wonderful open-plan living area warmed by the charm of an open fire. The bedrooms are once again spread over two floors and equipped with en-suites, including a remarkable king-size four-poster bed in the master bedroom, five bedrooms with double beds, and two with twins ensuring versatility in the sleeping arrangements. Outside, the generous grounds entice you to explore with your imagination, from the picnic tables beside the river for lunchtime banquets to the courtyard fountain and manicured lawn areas where pups and children can run and play during the summer months.
Humans and hounds will be in awe over the natural beauty of the Stiperstones National Nature Reserve (15 miles) with its wild landscapes, historic woodland, and fascinating geology. You could easily while away days with a picnic in your backpack sniffing out the most idyllic spots to stop off and soak in the views. Alternatively, why not take this opportunity to explore the magic of Snowdonia National Park (26 miles) during your stay with a myriad of walking trails ranging in difficulty?
