About this property
A pretty 18th century semi-detached cottage, adjacent the owners' home on the edge of a small lodge park, on the outskirts of the village of Crossgates, just over three miles from the spa town of Llandrindod Wells. The cottage is a perfect base for families or friends looking to enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside, just a short drive from fabulous walking areas. Set over two floors, there are three comfortable bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities and one with Jack-and-Jill on the first floor. On the ground floor is a compact, well-equipped kitchen, a traditional dining room and a cosy sitting room with comfy seating around an inglenook fireplace with an open fire. Outside, you can relax in the pretty front garden with a sweeping lawn and seating area where you can enjoy a cold drink and chat about the day's adventures. The cottage is ideally placed to explore the stunning Cambrian Mountains and the Elan Valley with its Victorian dams and wildlife rich countryside. Stop off at the quaint market town of Rhayader which is situated on the banks of the River Wye, or perhaps take the opportunity to visit the historic spa town of Llandrindod Wells, with its pretty parks and local lakes. The Royal Welsh Showground is just ten miles away, making this a perfect base for the numerous events held there. This part of Mid Wales is a popular walking destination and the whole area offers various opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with activities such as wildlife spotting, star gazing or cycling. A wonderful retreat, ideal for discovering the superb local countryside or to visit historic towns.
Set in the wonderful wooded hills in Mid Wales, the scattered village of Crossgates has a post office, general store, pub and petrol station. With trails and paths meandering their way through woodland and along rivers, the village offers magnificent walking. For more challenging terrain, the nearby Cambrian Mountains or the spectacular Brecon Beacons are just a short drive away.

A bit chilly in the morning as the heating triggered later, but nothing a roaring fire didn't sort out. Thanks for the welcome pack!

The dogs loved their welcome pack as did we with a bottle of fizz to celebrate. The house was warm and cosy and perfectly situated to explore the surroundings. There is so much to do and a week was not long enough
