Castell Courtyard, Llanrhaeadr Ym Mochnant, Powys, North Wales

Castell Courtyard, a large holiday house near Oswestry, sleeps 24 in 11 bedroom, 6 en suites and 3 family bathrooms.

It's difficult to imagine anywhere more perfect for quality time with loved ones than beautiful Castell Courtyard, located on a working farm in the lovely Tanat Valley in Wales. The barns have been lovingly converted to create luxurious accommodation for friends and family holidays or weekends away in the stunning Berwyn Mountains.

The undercover outdoor area is a lovely corner to sit and spend an hour, day or night, or chill out in the hot tub. The gardens provide seating for barbecues, picnics or evening drinks. Inside, the story continues with beautifully designed open plan living and lots of sociable spaces.

Step into the top notch kitchen, fully equipped for preparing large meals. The central island with stools hits the spot for a chat over a cup of morning coffee. The dining area is ideal for everyone to sit and eat together, maybe a feast cooked by a hired in private chef for a special occasion. The option of 2 lovely airy lounges with TVs and wood stoves is a real bonus for multi generational groups where there is a need for space and choice.

Accommodation is spread across 3 wings and each has its own staircase for peace and privacy, with fabulous original beams and feature bannisters giving a flavour of the barns' history. Bedrooms are individually stylish and all have contemporary soft furnishings. A combination of kings, twins and a double is useful for mixed age groups and the ground floor bedrooms a consideration for anyone less mobile. Bathroom facilities are plentiful and include 6 en suites.
