Gwaenynog Farmhouse B&B, Welshpool
Bed & Breakfast
Come and enjoy a warm welcome in our beautiful 18thC stone farmhouse, with exposed oak beams and inglenook fireplace – where the pace is relaxed and inviting.
Located just 9miles from Lake Vyrnwy and 1 mile from the river, set in an area of peaceful tranquillity, you can enjoy both farmland and mountain views from the lounge and bedrooms. There’s a variety of visiting birds that enjoy our 16 acres of woodlands, fields and marshland plus sheep and lambs for you to walk amongst or just admire.
There are comfortable beds including a romantic four poster, wonderful en-suite showers, plentiful breakfasts and evening meals by arrangement.
We’re a mile from the A495/A458, so convenient for touring the area, but tucked away for that “away from it all” feeling.
Ideally located for visiting Lake Vyrnwy, Powis Castle, Llanfair Caereinion Light Railway, Pistyll Rhaeadr, Snowdonia or even Cardigan Bay, so it’s convenient seclusion!
