Hidden at the head of the beautiful and peaceful Tanat Valley, the tiny village of Pennant Melangell is one of the treasures of Wales! Visitors are drawn to the historic church, where a shrine is dedicated to St. Melangell who lived in the 7th Century, and can discover for themselves the delightful legend about this brave and kind girl. There are many lovely walks in the area – Pistyll Rhaeadr, the highest waterfall in Wales is reached by a spectacular footpath from nearby Llanrhaeadr Ym Mochnant, and the 15 mile Pererindod Melangell walk begins at Llangynog. Further afield is the RSPB nature reserve at Lake Vyrnwy, and Bala Lake, with its excellent watersports facilities.
A delightful 16th Century, detached, stone built farmhouse standing in a wonderful “away from it all” location amidst the owner's 2000 acre hill estate, in the tiny village of Pennant Melangell in the beautiful Tanat Valley. Renovated to a high standard the property boasts a wealth of character features including exposed beams, wall timbers, slate flagstone and oak floors, wooden shutters and an impressive, large inglenook fireplace with original stone spiral staircase behind it. The area is a haven for walkers, ramblers and birdwatchers with wonderful hills, valleys, forests of the valley and the surrounding Berwyn Mountain Range. The Blaen-y-Cwm waterfall is close by on the estate and there is a stunning two hour mountain top walk from the cottage to beautiful Lake Vyrnwy. Enjoy trips to Bala, famous for watersports including whitewater rafting, charming Llangollen, Llanrhaedr Waterfall, and nearby Shropshire, with its medieval towns and lovely countryside.

luxury accommodation in a tranquil setting. Ideal for getting away from it all. Great for walking.
Mrs Morgan, Dover, August 2010
The lovely peaceful setting. We were very lucky as the sun shone the entire time. The owner and housekeeper were helpful when we had any questions.
Mr Bate, Minehead, June 2010
We have just returned from the most superb break, the house and the location were outstanding, The stunning views from the house have to be seen to be believed. We hope to return soon.
Mrs Biddlestone, Christchurch, June 2010
The property was so individual that it is hard to explain say how great it was to stay in, the photographs on the web site are a good representation of the house but the location has to be seen to be believed. The area is outstanding and we made the most of it. We can't wait to return.
