Cool stay of the week: a stylish holiday home in the Welsh countryside

Set in the marvellous Powys countryside, The Warren offers unbeatable views, stylish furnishings, and its own hot tub.

The property blends nicely into its surroundings thanks to its earth roof, and floor-to-ceiling windows allow for plenty of light to pour in.

The living area has a scandi-minimal design, and features wooden beams and a rustic dining table that ensure it maintains that all-important rural charm. However, nice touches of colour and modern sofas give it a contemporary feel. This space features two sofas and a swinging basket chair, ensuring you can socialise inside in comfort when the weather’s not too great. However, when the sun is shining be sure to sit outside on the deck and enjoy the fresh country air. The outdoor space features a BBQ and a nice lawn, as well as the hot tub.

Two of the three bedrooms also offer marvellous views, and all of them have cloud like beds. The bold colour choices and carefully hand-picked furnishings are wonderfully stylish, and the rooms can sleep up to seven comfortably. The master bedroom has doors out onto the deck, and giant windows that offer up a fantastic view in the morning.

The kitchen has been well equipped with everything you’ll need and features an oven, microwave, electric hob, and a fridge-freezer. The window above the sink allows you to watch the curious sheep as you prepare dinner. The bathroom boasts a huge, luxurious, spa-style bath tub and there is also a shower. You even have access to your own outdoor shower if needed.

The Warren sits on a 300 acre farm that’s ready to be explored. Head to the stream for paddling and spot all the fascinating wildlife nearby, or venture onto one of the many trails that lead off for miles into the hills.

Nearby Knighton or Presteigne offer an abundance of nice shops and fabulous pubs. The Harp is around 11 miles away in Old Radnor, and is a lovely old longhouse with a stunning hilltop setting. You may also wish to try out The Lion in Lentwardine that was named Best Pub in Shropshire in 2020.
