A remote, peaceful and traditional farmhouse in the River Irfon valley at the foot of Cefn Alltwinau in the Cambrian Mountains, while only 2 miles from the amenities of Llanwrtyd Wells.
Escape from the stresses of modern life and unwind in perfect solitude. Alltwinau is an ideal retreat if you want to get away from it all, with the song of birds and the murmur of the River Irfon for company. Perfectly secluded on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains, the property sleeps six guests and is well placed for scenic and gentle walks, as well as exhilarating hill climbs. The small town of Llanwrtyd Wells is known for its small brewery, Beer festival, bog snorkelling and its annual "man versus horse marathon". It is ideal for relaxation and activities such has mountain biking, walking, fishing, and bird watching including a kite feeding station nearby.
Alltwinau stands alone, at the end of a 1-mile track shared only with the neighbouring farm. The charming holiday home is characterised by an open fire in the large Welsh stone flagged open-planned kitchen/dining/sitting room. It is the hub of the home for relaxed meals and cosy evenings. A separate sitting roomoffers a a quiet place for TV viewing. There is a small, walled garden for sipping drinks in the sunshine within a larger enclosed area. Stairs lead up to four bedrooms including a twin room that’s accessed via a single bedroom, a spacious bathroom and a downstairs shower room. Please note that there is no mobile signal, but the property does have an honesty phone if needed.
Get back to nature and discover your surroundings, donning your walking boots to navigate the sweeping countryside and rugged hills. For a gentle or treating minute walk continue along the track and you will come to the Washpool - a swimming spot - or treat yourself to a wild swim at Wolf’s Leap 7 miles away. Ystradffin (18 miles) is another excellent natural swimming spot in a wooded gorge that has double waterfalls. Try fly-fishing for wild brown trout on the Upper Irfon Beat, and why not take the 18-mile drive to RSPB Gwenffrwd-Dinas to spot red kites, dippers and grey wagtails as you explore the nature reserve.
