Explore the scenic Tanat Valley with your four-legged friend when you stay at this exquisite retreat in Mid Wales. Set within a 17th-century estate, 0.5 miles from Llangedwyn, the two-bedroom cottage, which sleeps four guests, has been carefully converted from a building that was once a blacksmith’s workshop. Today, with its enclosed patio and access to a shared field, where pups can bound free when there is no livestock, it makes a magnificent, dog-friendly choice.
Make your way inside to find single-storey accommodation with an immaculate, stylish finish. At the heart of the holiday home is a gorgeous, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams and brickwork. Let your chum pad about the wooden floor while you fire up the wood burner, open a bottle of wine and start preparing the next meal for hounds and humans. Bid your furry friend goodnight in this living space then climb three steps up to an inviting double bedroom to enjoy a superb night’s sleep. An immaculate family bathroom and another double, with a four-poster bed are at the other end of the cottage. This bedroom has a Smart TV and glass doors to the patio. Make the most of your outside space on fine days. Look out over the estate’s walled garden with your canine companion by your side and grill fresh Welsh produce on the BBQ for supper. There is ample private parking.
Grab the dog lead and head straight off on fabulous walks. Venture 15.5 miles to picturesque Lake Vyrnwy where you and your chum can walk along the shores and wander the sculpture park. Straddling the border between England and Wales, Llanymynech Rocks Nature Reserve, 8 miles away, is another superb outdoor location with beautiful views for those with energetic pups that can cope with uneven footpaths.
