Surrounded by gorgeous Welsh countryside and set less than 500 metres from the Wales/England border, this luxurious, cedar-clad lodge offers a sumptuous base to families and groups of friends. Part of the 17th-century Bryn Tanat Hall Estate and Wellness Spa and boasting handcrafted finishes, a contemporary interior and far-reaching rural views, this is the perfect property for relaxing and embracing the great outdoors with your loved ones. The River Tanat meanders through the estate, and the nearby Berwyn Mountains (14 miles) are a paradise for walkers, cyclists, and wildlife watchers. The holiday home is also an ideal base for exploring Powys, Shropshire and Wrexham. Highlights in the area include Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall (10 miles), the tranquil Lake Vyrnwy (19 miles) and Bala Lake (28 miles). The nearby towns of Oswestry (7 miles) and, a little further away, Shrewsbury (20 miles) contain excellent shopping and dining options.
Before stepping into this single-level retreat, take a moment to soak in your surroundings of peaceful Welsh countryside and distant mountains. Head inside and find that the rural charm continues in the form of chic wood cladding and a bright and airy living space soaked in natural light. The open-plan living space forms the social heart of the property, a place to gather, admire the views, and plan the next days’ adventures. Retreat to the lounge space after days of Welsh hiking and sink into the soft seating, flick on the Smart TV and fire up the wood burner for a cosy evening. When stomachs begin to rumble, find that the stylish, well-appointed kitchen offers all you need to cook up a Welsh feast for your loved ones, who can gather to eat at the oval dining table nearby or at the breakfast bar if numbers are low. At the end of each busy day away, four delightful super-king-size bedrooms offer restful nights of sleep, one of which boasts an en-suite bathroom with shower over bath, the rest en-suite shower rooms. All bedrooms offer zip-and-link beds that can be converted to twins on request, offering flexibility to all.
Outside, the patio provides the perfect spot to soak up the stunning Welsh countryside with sunshine from dawn to dusk, complete with dining and casual furniture, and a gas BBQ available to hire. After long days out walking, unwind in the private hot tub or book at the on-site wellness spa, which features another hot tub, a sauna and luxurious treatments (for guests aged 16 and over). Active guests can make the most of the state-of-the-art fitness suite (for guests aged 18 and over) or hit the outdoor tennis court for a leisurely game. Private parking for up to four cars is also available.
