Having purchased Powys Country House in July 2006, we have lovingly tried to restore the country house, cottages and gardens, and bring it back to its former glory.

We have completely modernized and refurbished all of the accommodation, which now provides us with a beautiful country house. Part of the house dates back to the 1700’s, and still retains a wealth of charm and character.

We have also renovated the old stables and cow shed, to provide self catering cottage accommodation.
Our cottages are situated in the court yard at the rear of the main house. All the accommodation is set in almost 3 acres of grounds.

There is an up to date fire alarm system installed, with all the necessary fire extinguishers, at certain points around all the accommodation in the main house. All the cottages have a hard wired smoke alarm, fire blankets, and extinguishers.

We want our guests to feel safe and secure in the knowledge, that in the event of a fire, every precaution has been taken, to minimize the spread of fire, and to lower the risk for all our guests.

We live on the site, giving peace of mind to our guests, and ensuring everyone receives that personal touch on arrival. We are also on hand should any of our guests need help or assistance with anything. (without being intrusive)

It can sleep up to 20 comfortably in its 8 bedrooms. Making it an ideal venue for that family Christmas get-together, Summer holidays, Anniversaries, Grandma’s 90th birthday, Dads 50th, etc.

Powys House is well situated on the A5 for sight seeing around the area. We are on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, and only a short drive to the many attractions of North Wales and surrounding area. Llangollen, Bala, Betws-y-coed, the Roman city of Chester, are just a few of the great places to visit.

We have, lakes, mountains, castles, national trust properties, Thomas Telfords Aqueduct, canal boats, and steam trains, on our doorstep. If you are looking for a nice relaxing time, taking in all the sights, then this is the place for you.

On the other hand, if you are looking for an action packed holiday, then this also is the place for you. We have canoeing, white water rafting, Go Karting, off road 4x4 driving, walking, climbing, high rope walking, paint balling, fishing, shooting, horse riding and much more, all within the area.
