Glanyravon Cottage - Glan yr afon Bwythyn
Our Charming Holiday Cottage in Mid Wales Sleeps 2 + Pets
Welcome to Glanyravon Cottage, a beautifully restored 1846 stone-built holiday cottage nestled in the heart of Mid Wales. Once a humble cow shed, this characterful retreat now offers cosy, self-catering accommodation with original slate roofs, exposed beams, and modern comforts.
Surrounded by Nature
Set on our peaceful farm, the Afon Dulas river meanders through the land alongside the old Mid Wales Railway line. You’ll be surrounded by rolling Welsh hills, with miles of bridleways and walking trails starting right from the doorstep—perfect for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers.
Wildlife & Stargazing
Our land is rich in biodiversity. Spot Red Kites, Curlews, and—if you're lucky—Hares or Stoats. And yes, plenty of sheep too!
While not in a designated Dark Sky zone, the night skies are stunning on a clear evening—ideal for stargazing.
Outdoor Spaces
Relax in the front or rear garden, complete with a hand-built picnic bench and a bistro table—perfect for morning coffee or evening wine while soaking in the countryside sounds.
