Welcome to Rhyd Hir - a rebuilt 15th century Welsh Longhouse, hidden away in its own dell in a one acre 8 level garden with stream and waterfall, surrounded by beautiful trees, countryside, Lakes Vyrnwy and Bala, and close to the southern edge of the Snowdonia National Park.

We have two wonderful Guest Bedrooms:-

Guest Bedroom 1 - This spacious bedroom is furnished with a hand made super king bed (seven feet x seven feet), and a fully tiled en-suite bathroom complete with a two-person electric shower with a bow front enclosure. The room overlooks the conservatory and the stream, and looks across to the oak-lined trees on the edge of the garden.

Guest Bedroom 2 - This lovely spacious bedroom has windows that look into the driveway to the front, and into the gardens to the rear. A wonderfully comfortable queen-sized bed is complemented by a fully tiled en-suite bathroom with a two-person power shower.

Our Breakfast rooms is a large comfortable room with a Jacobean fireplace, the Breakfast Room features a long mahogany table and very comfortable high-back Jacobean dining chairs. A door from the Breakfast Room leads into:

The Conservatory runs almost the whole length of the house, over forty feet (13 metres) and is close to the waterfall and stream. The conservatory is furnished with comfortable wicker chairs and tables, and is a lovely spot to while away the odd hour or two with a cup of tea or coffee and a good book or magazine (each room contains a bookcase with books for you to enjoy during your stay with us). Tea (including fruit teas) and coffee are available on request at no extra charge.

We look forward to welcoming you to our home.

Rhyd Hir is situated in its own dell down a small farm track, enabling guests to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the countryside, yet it is just two miles from the lovely small town of Llanfyllin, which nestles in the Cain valley.

Close by is the famous Pistyll Rhaeadr, the highest waterfall in Wales and England. At 240 feet (74 metres), the falls are one of the seven wonders of Wales. With two routes to climb to the top of the falls and easy access at the bottom, it is an internationally popular site for walkers, artists and photographers.

The town of Llangollen, home of the famous International Music Eisteddfod, is around 30 minutes by road from the house. On the banks of the river Dee, with the Llangollen canal above the town, it is an ideal stop for history lovers. Close to the town is Castell Dinas Bran, which is both a hill fort and a medieval castle, the remains of which were built around the end of the 13th century by the princes of Powys Fadog.

Another world famous medieval town, Shrewsbury, is around 40 minutes by road, or about 30 minutes by train from nearby Welshpool. Dating back to Saxon times, with over 600 listed buildings, the town of Shrewsbury is almost encircled by the river Severn. Come into the town via the English or Welsh Bridge; a must-see is the Quarry Park with its own "Dingle", formerly a stone quarry, now a beautiful landscaped garden with its own lake.

The equally medieval city of Chester is less than an hour by road from Rhyd Hir, and we're within easy reach of Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, each with its own international airport.
