If you want to venture further afield than Mid Wales Holiday’s private fields and woodlands, there is a lot to see and do locally where your dogs will be welcome. We also offer a dog-sitting service if you want to explore knowing that your dogs will be well-looked after by a qualified dog professional.
Mid Wales Holidays is a great base from which to explore the borderlands of England and Wales, an area of pretty countryside and charming market towns.
Just 10 minutes down the road is Llanidloes (voted one of the most desirable places to live in Wales), a lovely small Welsh market town, with a friendly community. A very pretty old town with lots of unique shops and places to eat and drink. There are some lovely cafes, dog-friendly pubs, Chinese, Indian and fish and chip takeaways, a local Co-Op, butchers, greengrocers, and independent shops.
Newtown is 15 minutes away in the opposite direction. Set on the banks of the River Severn, this historic market town is famous for its arts and music with museums, art galleries and theatre. It offers a good selection of pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and shops.
Machynlleth, Rhayader and Builth Wells are all within driving distance too, as are Shrewsbury and Ludlow to the East.
Local attractions include Gregynog Hall and Powys Castle, plus there is access to steam train rides, canal boat trips, golf, clay pigeon shooting, simulated game shooting, driven game shooting (during the season), cycling, and horse riding.
There are numerous lovely walks and woodland areas to explore right on our doorstep. We’re located within easy travelling distance of Hafren Forest, Clywedog Reservoir, Elan Valley, and multiple nature reserves.
If you want to go further afield, Aberystwyth and the stunning Welsh Cambrian coastline and beaches are less than an hour’s scenic drive away with plenty of stunning scenery and a traditional town with unique shops. Many areas of outstanding natural beauty, the incredible Snowdonia National Park and the Brecon Beacons are not far either if you fancy more to explore .
As Mid Wales Holidays is situated in a beautiful valley, at the top of a secluded lane, a car is essential. You will have access to safe, ample parking. The lane to the property is steep in parts, and while perfectly driveable 99% of the time, on occasion, particularly during the winter months, it can become wet and icy, and extra caution is advised. Our dog-friendly holiday cottages are only a few miles from the main road, the A470. We will send you detailed directions once you have booked.
