Set on the banks of the River Severn in the historic town of Llanidloes, this quirky riverside retreat makes an enchanting base for your Mid Wales adventures. This former town jail has been lovingly renovated into a cosy and welcoming home from home, offering a window onto the past while satisfying all your modern creature comforts. Gateway to the Cambrian Mountains, Llanidloes offers a great base for families and friends looking to combine local culture and heritage with outdoor activities.
As you venture into this characterful cottage, you’ll be entranced by its rustic appeal and homely comforts. With the original jail bars on a feature window, the kitchen/diner weaves a fascinating picture of the building’s original use. On warm days, throw open the patio doors next to the dining table to listen to the soothing sounds of the river while cooking and dining. Enjoy cosy evenings in the inviting lounge, while sleeping dogs lie in front of the wood burner. Watch the smart TV, curl up with a book or simply enjoy quality time together. Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms offer a restful night’s sleep, a double overlooking the river and a twin at the front of the property. A charming family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Sniff out delicious local produce at the weekly Saturday market, as you wander around this atmospheric town, admiring its timber-framed architecture and browsing antique shops. Or head out of town to explore its gorgeous surrounds from Llyn Clywedog Reservoir (6 miles) and Hafren Forest (8 miles) to the Clywedog Gorge Trail (4 miles) and Glyndwr’s National Trail (25 miles).
