Old Rectory House in Powys | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Old Rectory House

Nestled in the Welsh countryside in the small village of Aberhafesp in Powys, Wales is the Old Rectory House. This decadent holiday home boasts luxurious bedrooms, off-road parking for ten cars, a unique cinema room, swimming pool and expansive garden with a hot tub surrounded by the luscious rolling Welsh fields, making this a wonderful setting for a family gathering in the countryside.

Old Rectory House was designed by Thomas Penson, who was born in Wrexham and studied with architect and bridge builder, Thomas Harrison. During his time as a county surveyor, he remodelled a courtroom and later built eight beautiful churches.

Cross the threshold into the beautifully-presented entrance hall with its grand staircase and head into either of the sitting rooms to unwind on the plush sofas, while the kids entertain themselves in the cinema room. Gather the family around the large dining table and tuck into the home-cooked meal the designated chef of the group prepared in the fully-equipped contemporary kitchen; cheers to your gathering and cherish the memories you have created.

Venture onto the patio and delight in a soothing soak in the hot tub while the sun sets, providing a truly memorable backdrop. Retire to any of the eight bedrooms; the ground floor is completed by a super-king and the first floor houses four super-kings, two kings, and a double with a balcony overlooking the grounds.

All of the upstairs rooms are serviced by sleek en-suite bathrooms and shower rooms, ideal for maintaining privacy. Be sure to get some well-earned rest before another fun-filled day in Wales.

The Old Rectory House lies in a quiet village, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but is just a short drive from Caersws, home to The Unicorn Bar and Restaurant and The Buck Hotel where you can treat your loved ones to a delicious meal or celebratory drinks. This wonderful holiday home is ideally located for those looking to explore castles, such as Dolforwyn and Mongomery, which are scattered throughout the countryside.

Old Rectory House Reviews

Stephen

An absolutely amazing property in a fantastic location with wonderful views, could not ask for a better place to stay with family and friends for a break. A wonderful host who met us at the property to show us around and very kindly gave us a show on piano. Thank you Stuart.

Gareth

Wow what a property! We had the most amazing time staying as a family of 15. Every little detail had been thought about and the house was immaculate, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Perfect if you have children with the pool, games room and cinema room. Stuart was a fantastic host and his piano skills are tremendous!! We will definitely be back to stay again.

Joanna

This is an amazing house with everything you could possibly want. Fantastic views and a fabulous location.

Jaspreet

The Old Rectory house exceeded our expectations. From the views, to the gorgeous property to the generous host, everything was just as wed want it to be.

Everything at the house was delightful and so pleasing All the furnishings were stylish and high quality and the beds very comfortable We had so much room and so many facilities to enjoy so the weather was unimportant. We received a great welcome and prompt attention to our additional requests and especially, we did enjoy the impromptu piano concert! Our only suggestions would be that there could be some larger serving dishes cooking pans and dishes were plentiful but as we were cooking for a large group and the house sleeps 16, they would be very useful Altogether it was a privilege to stay in such a lovely house and setting

Stunning location and fantastic amenities. Stuart was a great host.

We had a wonderful few days in this amazing property. The views were beautiful and the area was very peaceful and the facilities at the property were excellent. We loved it so much we hope to return next year and it's ideal for large families or groups of friends as there's plenty of room to spread out. Everything very comfortable and we had a wonderful game of hide and seek in all the various rooms this property has to offer. Can thoroughly recommend it.

Great high quality property with lots of facilities and a friendly owner.

This is just an amazing house with stunning views all along the valley. Having a swimming pool to use with this house is great when you have young children. All the bedrooms with en suites and the whole house is just so spacious when your family come on holiday with you.Stuart is a wonderful host and just makes you feel welcome from the very start of your holiday. We hope to return again for a family holiday again .

The place is amazing and our host was just great. Only complaint is i have nothing to complain about.

Elaine

The house is amazing and had everything and more we could have needed. The standard of decor , fixtures and fittings is very high quality and adds that luxury to a special occasion or celebration. The facilities of the pool, hot tub etc really added to everyones enjoyment of the weekend. Stuart and Hayley were really welcoming and helpful which added to the overall experience. We all had a wonderful stay which we will remember for a long time.

The property is simply stunning with amazing views. Stuart the host is lovely and really attentive. We all had a fantastic weekend break for my husbands birthday and would love to come back in the future!

The Old Rectory was an amazing house for a big group of all ages It was by far the best house we have stayed in . There is so much space that we didn't use some of the downstairs rooms The lovely warm pool and hot tub with an incredible view made it the perfect destination to keep everyone happy whatever the weather ! The owner was so helpful and welcoming too when we arrived and just a phone call away if there had been any queries Hope to go back sometime soon

Cathryn

We had a wonderful time, the house couldn't have been more perfect. There was so much space, every room is beautiful and the view is amazing. We felt very lucky to have found The Old Rectory. Stuart, the owner, was so helpful and only a phone call away for any questions. We would all love to return.

Beautiful property with all needs catered for, extremly comftable and clean. Very spacious and full of light, beautiful scenery. The owner Stuart was very hospitable and kind, overall an excellent place to stay as a large group.

Beautiful property with stunning views! The property has everything that you would need for your stay and honestly couldnt fault It at all, had a wonderful time. Sykes cottages were amazing in managing our booking and also the property owner Stuart who was always going that extra mile to make sure our stay was great experience! I would recommend this place to everyone! So glad we got to experience it first
