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.
