Beamed ceilings, exposed brickwork and far-reaching countryside views create a traditional and welcoming feel inside this stone-built Welsh cottage. While staying in a rural location near Snowdonia National Park, you and up to four other guests and two beloved four-pawed companions can enjoy mountain hikes, wildlife spotting in nearby nature reserves and trips to quaint, picturesque villages.

As you enter the property you’ll be met with an inviting open-plan lounge/diner which is filled with natural light through the bay window and kept warm by the crackling wood burner. The lounge area has an added freshness from the blue furnishings amongst the beamed ceiling, exposed stone fireplace and exposed brick walls. Behind the sofas is a wooden dining table with six comfortable green chairs. Continue into the airy and spacious kitchen to find a one-wall white and black fitted kitchen unit and an island with a breakfast bar. Also on the ground floor is a convenient utility room, a separate WC and a single bedroom with an en-suite wet room. Climb the stairs to reach a family bathroom with a freestanding bath plus two more bedrooms – a king-size and a twin room. Outside is an enclosed, walled garden to the front of the property and a rear lawn with furniture.

In the riverside village of Cemmaes in northern Powys you’ll find a local shop and a church. Practise your aim with an afternoon at the nearby shooting range (3 miles) or enjoy an active day out at the Dyfi Bike Park (7.5 miles). Discover the eateries, art gallery and historical landmarks of Machynlleth (6.5 miles). Take a picnic to Tan y Coed, hike around Tarren y Gesail or visit the Dolgoch Waterfall (all within 24 miles).

Such a comfortable and truly dog friendly cottage. Enclosed garden, towel, Pooh bags, cover over the sofas such a great bonus. So many places say dog friendly and theyre not! Hen Stabl truly is. Extremely well equipped cottage but I need need to light the fire for the frontroom to feel cosy - equipment supplied so no problem. Bed super comfy, threRead moree toilets to chose from and two showers. Warm welcome from Kate. With Kates permission I had a field to use to run the dogs around in which was great. It is along a busy main road but fortunately the traffic died down over night. Perfect spot for plane spotting. Very much felt like a home from home. Hide

Coming in February, this was a must every evening, but the novice fire starter in me enjoyed the challenge of building the fire and keeping it going. The cottage was very dog friendly, with a properly enclosed garden area, dog bowl, dog towel and some poo bags supplied. The sofas had throws to keep off muddy paws, but we took our own anyway to ensure they were kept clean. I would definitely recommend Henn Stabl. Hide

Comfortable, spacious and warm cottage, centrally located in mid-Wales. Cosy living space with log burner. Fabulous bath in the main bathroom as well as separate shower. Nicely fitted kitchen. Perfectly set up for walkers and dog-owners. Owners friendly and helpful. Some road noise - not constant by any means but vehicles fly by!

We loved Hen Stabl, and we loved the area. The accommodation was comfortable and characterful. We were close to the historic town of Machynlleth, and the mainline railway station, which gave us flexibility of transport.

With a good size boot room off the main entrance and a fab space for drying dogs off the garden entrance (poo bags, water bowl and drying towel all thoughtfully provided!), the cottage suited our needs perfectly. The standard of the accommodation was really high - everyone wanted a bubbly soak in that lovely bath!!! The main road running alongside the cottage is busy, but in no way detracted from our stay and the ease of access to main routes made it simple to get about. The owners were warm and welcoming and made sure there was tea, milk and welsh cakes waiting for us on arrival - yum!! Will definitely return as so much to explore in the area and this cottage offers the perfect, cosy base. Hide
