Rhosllyn is a spacious, contemporary, luxury detached two-story lodge, surrounded by tranquil grounds, alongside a lake. Situated in the Nantmel Valley, it is just 3 miles from charming market town of Rhayader, which is the gateway to the Elan Valley.
The low-threshold entrance of the lodge from the parking area takes you into the wonderful open-plan ground floor living area. The lounge has 3 comfortable sofas facing the TV along with a cosy woodburning stove, so is ideal for relaxing after a long day sightseeing. The kitchen is modern with all the appliances you need to cook a delicious home-cooked meal. The dining area is situated between the kitchen and lounge with a view through the French doors (low threshold) which takes you out to the decked veranda with its outside dining area and the hot tub which comfortably seats 8 people.
There are 2 spacious ground floor bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite shower room, along with French doors that frame a view of the lake. There is a separate ground floor family shower room which is ideal for those with limited mobility.
Upstairs are 2 extremely spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and chandeliers. Both these rooms have ensuite shower rooms along with a freestanding bathtub in the bedroom. The main bedroom also has a sofa and French doors which give access to a covered balcony which looks out at the lake and there is a bistro set on the balcony for private dining. The 2nd upstairs bedroom has views across pasture land to Gwastedyn Hill.
