Yr Hen Felin is a charming detached cottage located on the outskirts of Llanfyllin, Powys, in the picturesque Heart of England region. This former workshop, whose name translates to 'the old mill', has been transformed into a welcoming retreat for families or groups of up to six people, including pets. The property is easily accessible via a private driveway that leads across a quaint bridge, offering ample off-road parking right at the doorstep, making it convenient for unloading luggage after a journey.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by a spacious L-shaped kitchen/diner, designed for social gatherings. The kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances, including an electric oven, hob, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, allowing for effortless meal preparation and clean-up. A large wooden dining table provides the perfect setting for shared meals, while remnants of the cottage's historical past, such as the old brick bread oven, add character to the space. The cozy ambiance continues upstairs in the first-floor sitting room, where high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams create a light-filled, inviting atmosphere, ideal for relaxation after a day of exploration.
For rest and rejuvenation, guests can choose between two thoughtfully designed bedrooms, including a double and a triple bunk, both offering storage space and charming decor. The double room has direct access to the garden, enhancing the outdoor experience. The lower ground floor features a convenient shower room for freshening up after outdoor adventures. The property boasts ample outdoor space, perfect for pets and children to enjoy, and a picnic bench allows guests to savor morning coffee while listening to the soothing sounds of the nearby stream.
Yr Hen Felin serves as an excellent base for outdoor enthusiasts, with numerous scenic walks and cycling routes accessible from the doorstep.
