Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 10 - Llanymynech, Powys

Indulge in a sumptuous stay at this impressive country retreat in the beautiful borderlands of Wales and Shropshire. Sleeping 10 guests, the five-bedroom holiday home, which welcomes dogs, makes a splendid base for a large group of friends or relatives with something special to celebrate. Situated near Llandrinio, 7 miles from Welshpool, the exquisite house sits in generous gardens with a hot tub and far-reaching views.

Make your way into this stylish abode to find capacious, airy, immaculate accommodation with underfloor heating. Enter via the gorgeous, double-height reception hall or the utility/boot room, where you can leave your outerwear, and head through to the magnificent, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where light pours in through the abundance of windows and glass doors. Make fresh coffee, prepare delicious meals and open chilled bottles of wine in the chic kitchen area.

Gather round the table for happy holiday meals then settle on the luxurious soft seating in front of a glowing wood burner and the Smart TV. If you fancy a few quiet moments to yourself, amble through to the conservatory to soak up the scenery. A twin bedroom and family shower room are also downstairs.

Climb the beautiful oak and glass stairs to the first floor to a super-king-size that can be made up as a twin by prior discussion and a twin that can also become a super-king. A king-size bedroom and a double, with an en-suite shower room, are also here, together with a family bathroom. Spill out into the garden to enjoy time in the hot tub.

Cook hearty feasts on the BBQ and dine together against the picturesque backdrop. Organise walks and cycle rides from the doorstep. Spend at afternoon exploring medieval Powis Castle, 8.5 miles away, or head out into the enchanting Shropshire Hills, 13 miles from your retreat.
