Ty Berllan, Caersws

Ty Berllan is a two-storey Welsh mountain retreat with space for 9 people. This country pad sits high in the hills with knockout views across the Welsh landscape. Perfect for big groups who want to escape but still have loads to do. The steep drive up is worth it for the peace and quiet you'll find at the top.

Mountains surround you here. The location feels remote but that's the point. You get stunning vistas from the garden and windows (when they're not misted up - but who's looking at windows when there's actual mountains outside?). Bring your horses if you fancy - there are stables right on site. The garden is fully secure for dogs who can run free while you soak in the hot tub with a glass of prosecco.

Inside you'll find four spacious bedrooms including a super-king with en-suite, a king-size, a double and a family room with three singles. There's a bathroom upstairs plus a ground floor shower room. The kitchen/dining area doubles as a games room with a pool table that's been a hit with guests. The living room features a woodburning stove for cosy evenings.

The Welsh countryside offers endless walking routes right from your doorstep. Explore the dramatic mountains or drive to nearby towns for supplies. The hot tub seats 6-8 people with full jets and lights - perfect for stargazing after a day of hiking.

Ty Berllan works for anyone wanting to escape the rat race. Families love the games room, couples appreciate the mountain romance and your dog will think they've died and gone to heaven.
