A spectacular dwelling with five centuries of history in its walls, this extensive manor house near the Welsh borders is a wonderful spot for a group holiday of up to 14 guests. It’s a nature lover’s delight, with fantastic views all around and wonderful walking trails leading directly from your front door. Join the ancient Offa’s Dyke Path or set off towards the Radnor Hills, and if you’re still hungry for hikes, head 8 miles north to the wonderful Shropshire Hills for more rural exploration.
Prepare to be wowed at this characterful medieval property, which provides a fine example of Welsh vernacular architecture. It features many old features, including antique artwork and furniture, a huge number of original wooden beams and even hex marks on timbers in the master bedroom (to ward off witches, in case you were wondering!). The manor has four floors, three distinctive reception areas, seven bedrooms and a spectacular formal dining hall where you can dine in true style. The gorgeous farmhouse-style kitchen, with its apron sink, Aga and flagstone floor, is a dream for the keen chefs among you. As you explore this museum of a property, notice luxurious touches like wood burners, a roll-top bath and a mini jacuzzi, to ensure your comfort during your stay. When you’re in the mood for some games, head to the detached barn for a go on the pool table. The outdoor terraces allow you to enjoy the fresh Welsh air and dine alfresco.
The property is surrounded by six acres of wonderful meadows you can explore with your pets. You’ll have a pub and shop around 4 miles away, and plenty more amenities in Presteigne (4.5 miles), a bustling town with a fascinating Judge’s Lodging Museum you can visit. Another beauty spot to check out is Hergest Ridge (6 miles), or you may head to Hay-on-Wye (17 miles) for a mosey around the bookshops before a scenic drive (or hike) through the Brecon Beacons National Park.
