Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 5 - Welshpool (3mls SE), Wales

A pretty and pleasant home situated on the Welsh and Shropshire border. Groups of four adventurers will love this idyllic countryside spot boasting panoramic views, a half-acre garden and a paddock rich with wildlife. This delightful bungalow, with its quoin door and window surrounds, is as characterful from the outside as it is on the inside.

Heading through the entrance, you will find yourself in the utility area which has space to hang your coats and place your boots. Head through to the colourful, cottage-style kitchen which is super spacious and has everything you need to prepare breakfasts to fuel your busy days, or dinners to replenish yourselves. The dining table sits in front of the windows overlooking the garden so you can enjoy your meals as you spot wildlife.

A cosy lounge also has fabulous views from double-aspect windows, comfortable seating, and a multi-fuel burner to keep you warm. The owners have also provided several books and games so you can get competitive together. Choose from three bedrooms for sleeping in: one double, one twin, and a single bedroom which all share a bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC.

Outside is an extensive garden containing a paved terrace with BBQ and furniture, as well as a large lawn. Soak up the panoramic views of the rolling countryside from your pretty, private garden. Situated in a beautiful and quiet spot, you will find many footpaths, cycle routes and bridleways from the doorstep which wind through the countryside.

Welshpool is nearby (5 miles), which has an abundance of shops and places to eat, as well as a popular weekly market. Alternatively, hop on the Llanfair Light Railway (14 miles) which journeys through the Mid Wales countryside.
