Situated only 5 miles from Llanidloes, The Old Vicarage is a distinctive Victorian property, situated in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains, which has been tastefully converted to a cosy Bed and Breakfast. Little has been altered inside or outdoors, and the house features original wooden shutters, an oak staircase and original fireplaces, as well as antiques and artwork. Your comfort is assured with a range of well-furnished bedrooms, each with its own en-suite facilities, with special attention paid to detail and quality. The house is set in just under half an acre of sloping informal gardens, with patio and sun terrace. Welcoming adults only, The Old Vicarage offers a period style to reflect the bygone era of the turn of the century home, alongside contemporary facilities and amenities for your total comfort.
The Old Vicarage is ideal for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits as well as a touring base. Located in the Wye Valley at the centre of Powys, mid-Wales, Llangurig, at 300 metres above sea level, is one of the highest villages in Wales and at the junction of the A470 and the A44 is a short distance from the market towns of Llanidloes and Rhayader. Llangurig is the first village on the River Wye which rises, with the Severn, in the Plynlimon hills some six miles away and the view from the top of Plynlimon (2465ft) is outstanding. Secure cycle storage is available.
The Old Vicarage is within easy reach of the Elan Valley, the coast at Aberystwyth and many local attractions as well as being perfectly situated for exploring the whole of mid-Wales, as well as the Marches, Shrewsbury and other destinations.
