Field House at Collfryn Farm

A succession of tight country lanes weave through the riverine fields and low-lying hills to deliver you here. In the distance the Berwyn Mountains rise above the horizon and on your doorstep there are miles and miles of open countryside. Keen walkers will love it – Snowdonia and the Cambrian Coast can be reached in 90 minutes.

It’s very quiet here. Just lowing from the cattle and the distant thrum of a tractor disturb the silence. Your host, Christine, can introduce you to the ways of organic farming and the animals that live here, but otherwise will leave you to your own devices. Put a roast in the oven, light the wood-burner, warm your toes.

There’s room for six around the big table for convivial meals, but also a number of pubs a short drive away – the Station Grill in Llansantffraid (five minutes) is great for groups.
