    If you enjoy walking taking a moment taking in the breathtaking views, the marshes is for you. It is a beautiful bungalow, maintained to a very high standard. Mrs Williams the owner will go above and beyond for all your needs. We had a brilliant week and will be returning.

  • "Second time at the Marshes and it won’t be the last, I love this property!"

    Mrs Williams is always so welcoming and kind. The Marshes has everything and more, I love waking up and watching the cows in the meadow and again in the evening going home. It has the perfect location, not too far from the town but also good for adventures we managed to see so many new places all within 1.5 hours away. Can’t wait to go back, already thinking of where to visit next for when I stay at the Marshes. Thank you Mrs Williams

  • "As a family of 4, 1 child of 7yrs and one 17 yrs they loved the surroundings and the view whist sitting in the conversatory with a coffee in the morning was lovely."

    The bungalow and gardens were very clean and tidy, the owners also supplys the necessities which was a lovely surprise from loo roll to coffee. Comfortably furnished, you are close to Welshpool and would recommend the steam railway, this was a great journey and you can stand outside on the rear tread plate to watch the world go by.

  • "The Marshes is a lovely property with lots of space and a nice garden with fabulous views."

    Good facilities provided and very comfortable. Although it seems rural, it is only a short drive from shopping facilities. There is plenty to do in the area - would highly recommend Derwen Garden Centre for refreshments as well as plants and a children's maze. Further afield try Cross Foxes at Dolgellau for a meal and Barmouth for a good beach. Mrs Williams ( a lovely lady who owns the property) came by to make sure everything was okay and provided a very nice welcome pack. A teapot would be nice and the instructions need a revamp to make it easier to find. Wouldn't hesitate to return to this property.

Catch some rest in one of three well-appointed bedrooms, including a double with en-suite shower room, a further double, and a twin (zip/link), all serviced by a bathroom.

Awaken to a coffee upon the patio before grabbing your walking boots for a day of exploration, starting off at the Meifod Valley Alpacas, a favourite for families, before travelling into Welshpool, home to a local golf club, the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway Preservation, offering immersive tours of the town, the magnificent grounds of Powis Castle and Garden, and Llyn Coed y Dinas Nature Reserve, ideal for birdwatching and hiking.
