About this property
Trefonen 1.6 miles. Resting between the market town of Oswestry and the endearing Welsh village of Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain, is the characterful, stone-built Graig Gwyn Cottage. Enjoying a rural position, this heart-warming retreat is perfect for couples, families and walkers seeking to explore the Offa's Dyke pathway, the Berwyn Mountain Range and all of the delights of the nearby towns and villages. After an action-packed afternoon, be welcomed in by the characterful interior with the vaulted ceiling and the exposed brick fireplace complementing the carefully selected furnishings to ensure a welcoming base to return to each evening. Venture into the farmhouse-style kitchen, where you will be delighted to find an impressive Range cooker and an exposed brick wall which plays backdrop to all the other quality appliances you will need to whip up your own home-cooked meals during your week-long stay. Situated up the staircase are two refreshing bedrooms, a king-size and a double, which house a bright colour palette and ample storage and space to house all of your personal belongings. During the summer months, venture outside to soak up the sun on the patio area where a spot of alfresco dining can be enjoyed before stretching your legs on the spacious lawn area, where the countryside views can be enjoyed further.

We had a warm welcome from the family and felt right at home from the off. Beautiful, breath taking views, amazing walks all around and easy access to enjoy all that the area has to offer. Wonderful! We'd highly recommend it.
