Ystabl y Berwyn, Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog

Ystabl y Berwyn is a converted stone barn sitting on 600 acres of working farmland in North Wales. This 4-star, 4-bedroom retreat sleeps 6 people and sits in the stunning Berwyn Mountain range near Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog. The double-height ceilings and oak beams give this place real character. You'll feel like Welsh royalty in the king-size four-poster bed. Who doesn't want to wake up feeling like Henry VIII? Just with fewer wives.

The location is proper peaceful. Just you, the mountains and thousands of sheep that won't judge your drinking habits. Walks start right from your doorstep through the Berwyn Mountains. The sound of the river below adds to the tranquility. After hiking, the local village pubs are perfect for a pint and some grub. Just 9 miles away is Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall and Llangollen is 15 miles away.

The property features two king-size bedrooms (one with a four-poster bed, one convertible to twins), plus two single bedrooms. Both king rooms have beautiful windows with mountain views. There's a bathroom with shower over bath and a separate walk-in shower room. The kitchen leads to a terrace and the living area has comfy sofas around a wood burner.

Visit Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall (9 miles, 20 minutes) - one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. Explore historic Llangollen (15 miles, 30 minutes) with its canal boat trips and steam railway. Chirk Castle (18 miles, 35 minutes) offers 700 years of history. Lake Vyrnwy (20 miles, 40 minutes) provides stunning scenery and watersports.

Ystabl y Berwyn is perfect for families or friends wanting countryside escape. The hot tub on the elevated patio overlooking the river and mountains is the cherry on top. Pour a glass of wine and soak away your troubles.
