About this property
Ty Uchaf is a characterful, detached cottage resting on the outskirts of Llanbrynmair, Powys. With a large, multi-level garden and original features throughout, this pet-friendly dwelling is surrounded by Welsh countryside and accepts six guests in four bedrooms. Outside the cottage you'll find off-road parking for four cars for an easy arrival to your new home-from-home. The interior is brimming with character including exposed beams, stone walls, and classic cottage furnishings. Be welcomed into the spacious kitchen/diner where you can dine together for family dinners or celebrating special occasions, while the kitchen is fully equipped for your self-catering needs, including a gas range cooker, large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and coffee maker. The utility is just next door with a washing machine alongside a ground-floor shower room, perfect for freshening up after countryside walks. When it's time to relax, head to the sitting room with two cushioned sofas and a TV, set near a stunning inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove to set the scene. Just next door is the snug with beautiful exposed stone walls, another woodburning stove, and extra seating to catch up with loved ones and play games. The large, multi-level garden is perfect for enjoying the sunshine, whether that's picnics on the lawn, playing with your dogs, or simply admiring the beautiful rural views with a cold beverage at the outdoor seating. As night falls, retire upstairs to find four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, a king-size, two doubles, and a twin, all enjoying country views, character features, and storage space. The family bathroom has a bath and shower over, so you can close the day with a relaxing bubble bath before heading to bed. When it's time to explore, the village of Llanbrynmair is close by where you can stop for breakfast at Caffi JoJo, have a well-earned drink at the Wynnstay Arms, and wander the countryside from your doorstep.

I love the layout of the house and garden. Its so cosy and calming. We did what we always do, enjoyed nice walks with our border collie and cooked ourselves a nice meal in the evenings and relaxed. The sofas are so huge and comfortable. Tiled floors downstairs so no fear of making a mess. Comfortable beds. I cant believe how pitch black it gets at night. Im sure we'll be back.

Our daughter and family joined us for the weekend which was filled with walks from the cottage, family meals and evenings in front of the fire. After they left us on Monday we went to the Co-op in Machynlleth, which is quite large and had all we needed for the rest of the week. We enjoyed a lovely day in Porthmadog, enjoying a take-out coffee sitting looking out at harbour (one of my âhappy placesâ). The following day we went to Betws y Coed. Ty Uchaf is a beautifully restored old cottage, retaining many original features. The kitchen was well equipped and loved the range! Bedrooms were quirky and Iâm assured that all beds were very comfy! All together, a lovely stay in a beautiful cottage, far away from the madding crowd - peaceful and dark, dark nights. Would love to return at some point in the future.
