"Great location in a quiet valley village."
The property was well presented and the welcoming package with fish food for the lake was a nice touch. The kitchen is well stocked and a good communal area to spend time. The dining room is perfect for a large group, which leads out onto a spacious veranda where you can sit and enjoy watching the ducks on the lake. The rooms are all equally high specification with superking size beds and en-suite shower rooms. The lounge was large and housed all 11 of us in the evening without an issue. It is a great place for dogs and they enjoyed the grounds and laying on the Jeti in the sunshine. You won’t find many idealistic places for a larger group of friends/family. Would definitely book again for a family gathering etc. The only advice I would give to a guest would be that the nearest shop is a short drive away so maybe best to bring some firelighters and salt and pepper. We all will fondly remember this weekend. Thank you.

"Amazing time at the house, with all the family, dog, children we had a great time would recommend 100 percent, would love to come back thanks to the Host Sally who was so lovely and sent us everything we needed prior to our stay the only thing we would recommend is more wardrobe space and hangers as some bedrooms they couldn’t hang there clothes anywhere but apart from that the place is beautiful and the lake we enjoyed too."

"We all loved the property!"
Perfectly equipped to provide for an impromptu birthday high tea and enough settings for us all. Particularly enjoyed the hot tub but perhaps providing towels specifically for use in it might have allowed us all to partake! Speaking of facilities, if you are catering for Young children, please provide travel cot and high chairs, it just makes it more inclusive. It is actually the first place not having this provision. Overall, we all enjoyed the welcome pack and our few days went far too quickly. Thanks to the owners.

"Amazing property, well maintained."
Mostly clean but with such a huge property some places were missed (I don't envy the cleaner!) However this didn't take away from the gorgeous property with beautiful views. Happily took my morning cuppa to walk by or sit by the lake, perfect way to start the day. We had snow and frost while we were there and it just added to the beauty. For those who enjoy walking we had beautiful walks right from the doorstep, great to get out and enjoy beautiful Wales...even in the bracing cold of January. Property was packed to the brim with cups, glasses, cutlery, etc which meant you didn't need to wash up every time you used a fork! Plus a lovely welcome basket greeted us as well as free essentials - washing tablets, dish soap, hand washes, dish washer tablets, sandwich bags, bin bags etc. Plus a few dog treats to keep the pooches sweet. If I could ask for anything adding to this ample kitchen it would be flat baking trays. Cottage does need a bit of TLC - in my bathroom there was a towel rail not attached and in the bathroom on the middle floor the towel rail fell away when used. Just little things but flagging so Owner can get them repaired. Would we stay again - a big yes! Definitely a cottage to recommend.

"We stayed for New Year, it was a family event with 12 adults, my 18month old great niece and a cockerpoo."
The property came with everything you could possibly need, plenty crockery, glasses etc and was very comfortable. We arrived to a lovely welcome basket, including treats for everyone, including the dog. The property was very spacious, meaning we weren't on top of each other. Communicating with the owner was spot on, who also shared lots of local information. Would highly recommend, and will return.

"Absolutely stunning property."
Had the family travel from various locations in the UK the house accommodated us all perfectly. Owners were quick to change up the beds to twins upon request. Lovely welcome hamper greeted us. Weather was pretty horrific all weekend so unfortunately hot tub use was extremely minimal, little suggestion of maybe adding a cover for the towels at least specially in winter time when hanging them outside. Due to location of tub wind path was fierce

"Our family group aged from 4 up to 72 had a wonderful week here at this fantastic house."
The property is huge and there’s plenty of space for all. The lake was especially enjoyed by the fishermen in the family, and they managed to catch some good sized fish (and some tiddlers too!) We took 4 dogs with us, and they had a great time. The outdoor space is so much bigger than it looks on the photos, and there’s some beautiful walks from the house…. by evening the dogs were shattered. We enjoyed the stunning scenery that surrounds the house, and saw lots of wonderful wildlife. Thanks to Sally for the thoughtful touches such as dog treats, and welcome treats for us too. The only thing that may be an issue for some is the distance to shops/pubs etc. For us this wasn’t a problem and we were happy to take it in turns to pop out for any groceries. The house was clean, modern and had everything we needed. We would love to return in the future and would thoroughly recommend it.

"Fabulous house in a lovely setting!"
Top quality furnishings and lovely artwork. One of the best views we’ve ever had! Fishing in the lake was a great bonus. Lots of walks from the door. Great communication with the owner. Lovely welcome pack and really well equipped, can’t recommend high enough!

"This place is incredible we loved it"
-
"We had a fantastic time at Tan Ir Allt."
The house was luxurious but homely with plenty of space both inside and out! Energising wild swimming in the lake each morning; fire pit area and lots of fantastic walks locally. Only downside is nearest shop is 15 minute drive and internet drops out intermittently. We did lots of cooking for ourselves but The Raven Inn in Welshpool is definitely worth a visit

"Beautiful place,lovely house can't fault it."
-
"So awesome, tranquil, high quality."
There was a small issue with electric showers not working - something to fix, or provide instructions on how to work.

"We have recently returned from a lovely stay, the house was perfect and matched the description completely in the advert."
The kids loved the large outdoor space, lake and of course the hot tub, all of the rooms are brilliantly sized with plenty of room for our two families. Welshpool is a lovely place to visit with plenty of shops around 20 minutes away from the property. The host provided lots of great information, including local walks near the properly. Would recommend and go back again in the future.

"Do not hesitate to book, it has everything and more."
The level of thought by the owner into what people will need made our stay was so relaxing. The pictures are 100% accurate.

About the location
MEIFOD, POWYS
Llanfair Caereinion 6 miles; Llanfyllin 6 miles; Welshpool 7 miles; Lake Vrnwy 11 miles; Shrewsbury 27 miles
Meifod is a sunny little, stone-built village by the River Vyrnwy with a local pub and convenience store with a post office, enveloped by rolling hills and woodland, with attractive houses. Situated about 7 miles north-west of Welshpool, this pretty village also offers tennis courts (day tickets can be purchased cheaply from the village shop), its own ruby and football teams and a historic church where there is said to be the royal tombs of 2 former princes of Powys. Fishing permits for the River Vyrnwy and Banwy can also be purchased from the village shop. Lake Vyrnwy with its RSPB reserve and Pistyll Rhaeader (Llanrhader waterfall) a 240ft waterfall in 3 stages, which is counted as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales, are only a short drive away. Both are sites of scientific interest. Gwyndu Cottage is about an hours drive away from 5 of the best places to ride mountain bikes in North Wales. Nearby, Llanfair Caereinion is in the heart of old Montgomeryshire's Banwy valley and is one of the smallest towns in Powys. Just a short walk over the Banwy Bridge from the hilly streets of the town centre, is the steam Welshpool to Llanfair Light Railway. Welshpool is a bustling market town, nestled in the Severn Valley 4 miles from the border between Wales and England. There is a lovely blend of shops, quality pubs and restaurants, as well as a restored cock fighting pit and interesting Heritage Trail. Visit the famous 13th Century Powis castle, or enjoy a cruise along the Montgomery canal. There is much to be enjoyed of an afternoon here. A gentle stroll through the town will have you taking in the Georgian architecture, there is even a golf club with a top of the world situation, overlooking the picturesque Welsh borderlands - a perfect location to practice your swing! Further afield is country town of Shrewsbury, with its half-timbered Tudor buildings, museums and lovely shopping experiences. An opportunity not to be missed!
