Welcome to Sgubor Fach, a luxurious holiday cottage set in quiet, rural countryside, within walking distance of the pretty village of Penybontfawr which has a post office/village shop, and a pub which serves evening meals. Ideally situated for exploring the the beautiful mid Wales countryside. Snowdonia national park is just a few miles away. Sgubor Fach is a recently converted barn with a traditional feel, sympathetically furnished retaining some original features, outdoor patio and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
Inside you will find a master bedroom with a kingsized bed, covered with elegant bed linen, and patio doors with Juliet balcony. There is also a further bedroom with a super kingsized bed which can convert to two singles, making Sgubor Fach ideal for families up to four (plus infant – travel cot available), couples or a small group of friends who want to get away from it all. Radiators in all rooms. You’ll find everything you need with two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and an area to hang your coats and shoes after a day of exploring or whatever you fancy! For the kids a travel cot, and highchair can be provided.
Sgubor Fach is in the Tanat Valley, so you will have no shortage of local pubs, restaurants and other places to eat out. You are also spoilt for choice with both Lake Vyrnwy and the magnificent Llanrhaeadr waterfall nearby. The village is surrounded by steep hills, forests and waterfalls and is an excellent start from which to explore the Berwyn mountains. Just five miles away is the quaint village of Llanfyllin, which boasts many shops, restaurants and pubs; or you can drive 30 minutes to Welshpool to visit Powis Castle (National Trust). From the house there is woodland to roam and plenty of local walks to take from nearby. Then, after a day out, why not head back to the cottage to spend the evening sat on the patio gazing up at the stars?

Lovely accommodation with beautiful views.

Lovely accommodation with beautiful views. Peaceful location but off the beaten track.The barn is very well equipped. It's lovely to have plenty of towels and loo rolls! The welcome pack is also a great touch. Very well equipped kitchen.Plenty of sockets and big bedroom mirrors. You would be amazed how many properties don't have these!Would highly recommend this property if you want peace and quiet. Rick and Natalie are also great hosts.

Fabulous retreat

The property is lovely, very peaceful, extremely comfy - best nights sleep ive ever had - the little stream babbling outside the bedroom drifted me off nicely! Well equipped, lovely homemade bread in a welcome pack, good information available about the local area. Could not fault it. Lots of wildlife. Owners very welcoming and laid back. Good location for exploring the falls and lake vrynwy. Was very sad to leave. Only tricky bit is the road leading up, dont think i got out of 1st gear, but its manageable and worth the drive. All in all i suggest if your thinking of booking - just do it!

Just like in the advert!

It's not often, that the place matches the description. The property do! We all really enjoy our state in the house. It is well-designed: two spacious rooms, huge entry hall, two bathrooms and the big kitchen. The house is extremely well-equipped with everything what you need to stay (starting from washing machine, finishing cutlery and wine opener). In the same time, the place wasn't cluttered by unnecessary stuff, but has a few elements giving it the character. The location is very peaceful. I was a bit disappointed that the weather didn't allow any star gazing. The hosts are a lovely couple, very helpful, living next door, but not intrusive. They prepared a very appropriate welcome pack. The only disadvantage of this beautiful place is the entry road and the amount of sheep poo on it. It makes the surface really slippy, even for high class 4x4, so be careful. Also, is make a walk down to the village, not too nice.
