Mrs Greensill 
“Fabulous property.”
Excellent accommodation and comfort. Knew the area already but plenty to see and do, whether for walking, outdoors activities or visiting NT properties etc.

Mrs Parker “The pictures do not do this property justice.”
It is an amazing property. Very clean and the owners are such warm and friendly people who left us a lovely welcome pack on our arrival. Keith gave us walking tips and even lent us an ordnance survey map. So much to do here from walks, national trust properties, Elan Valley, train rides, kite feeding and bike rides and so much more. You are only about 1.5 hours from the beach. We have never felt so relaxed on a holiday.
Mr Halsey “Rectory Cottage was a perfect home away from home.”
My family and I stayed for a week. The accommodation was decorated and finished to a high standard, all the rooms were incredibly spacious and the owners have really thought of everything with nice little touches with a welcome pack on arrival. It is somewhere I would book again. Very relaxing, quiet location with plenty of things to do in an easy drive should you wish to venture out.
Webster “Beautiful cottage in a lovely location.”
Perfect for walks, particularly the Montgomery canal and Powys Castle. Montgomery is exquisite with views to die for from the Castle.

“Charming, homely, beautiful.... I love this place!”
A charming and beautiful cottage (converted from part of the main building) set in glorious country side. It's quiet, with sheep for neighbours! Dawn and Gary made the perfect hosts, always there to help and suggest places to eat and visit; nothing was too much trouble! The cottage is commendably converted, which can't have been easy as I understand it's a listed building. The decor is simple but very elegant, with perfect finishing touches; soft plump fluffy towels and lovely soaps. Everything you need is there, and more! The kitchen is brilliantly equipped, you don't even need to bring tea towels! Dawn really has thought of everything to make your stay the perfect break a way from it all. Prepare to be chilled! We took our bikes and did a few lovely cycles rides along the canel and also through the Shropshire hills. That was one of the attractions of the cottage, the location was perfect for walking, cycling and even the sea isn't far away. There is always something to do, near by. The village of Montgomery is very close, with its stunning restaurant, The Checkers; a must for foodies! There's fish and chips, a small Spar store and a deli, open in the day time only. There's plenty of pubs and other eating places near by; Gary and Dawn will always point you in the right direction! Don't think about this cottage, BOOK it! You love it, and want to go back. I loved it so much, my parents have booked in too! When I need a safe haven to 'read' my Uni books, I'll be booking in, lighting the wood burning fire and snuggling up on the sofa! Perfect! Thank you again Dawn and Gary, and see you soon! (And I haven't even mentioned the bath!!)

The property
A stunning holiday home with a feeling of grandeur, set within a wing of a former village Rectory, nestled at the base of rolling hills on the edge the pretty village of Llandyssil.
Just a short walk from the village pub and bakery, this property is the perfect base for families or friends looking to relax and enjoy the beauty and splendour of the surrounding countryside, close to many historic towns.
Set over two floors, there are two regal bedrooms and a modern bathroom, while comfortable seating in the double bedroom makes the perfect place to sit and enjoy the view with a good book.
As well as grand, high ceilings throughout, the kitchen is well equipped with a dining area leading through a stylish hall and into a capacious sitting room, with a cosy woodburning stove that you can relax by with a hot cup of coffee.
Sit outside in the intimate courtyard off the kitchen, with an early morning cup of tea, or enjoy the pretty garden with views across the valley and chat about the adventures ahead of you.
You are ideally placed to explore the stunning Shropshire Hills, a beautifully undulating area, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and peppered with quaint, pretty villages.
Offa’s Dyke is just five miles away, with fantastic walks in the border countryside of the Welsh Marches, and the majestic National Trust’s Powys Castle is just eight and a half miles away, a perfect way to spend a day exploring the medieval past.
The area offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities; take a trip on the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway, set out on one of five local cycle routes, explore the domineering ruins of Montgomery and Dolforwyn Castles, or simply enjoy a gentle walk along the Montgomeryshire Canal.
Lakeside Golf Course is around a five-minute drive from The Old Rectory Cottage, while a similar distance away the town of Montgomery boasts a Michelin star-awarded restaurant, The Checkers.
Why not take a trip to the local Glansevern Hall Gardens, just over three miles away?
Set within 25 acres of diverse and romantic planting, you can take a walk around the beautifully planted lake and perhaps enjoy a spot of afternoon tea.
Slightly further afield you can visit the stunning Victorian Dams of Lake Vyrnwy, rich in wildlife and fabulous for a day out, or the coast can be reached in an hour’s drive.
The cottage is also within easy reach of the Long Mynd Hills, Church Stretton, Ironbridge and Ludlow.
