Penygelli Apartments

Penygelli Apartments offer a peaceful, comfortable holiday base on the quiet edge of Newtown in Powys, Mid Wales. Set within a smartly converted Victorian house, these two self-catering apartments each sleep up to three and welcome dogs — an excellent, restful choice for couples, small families and walkers exploring the green hills and historic towns of the Welsh borders.

Smart self-catering apartments on the edge of Newtown

There is a lot to be said for a quiet base with the convenience of a town close by, and Penygelli delivers exactly that. The apartments occupy a handsome converted Victorian house in a calm, peaceful setting on the edge of Newtown, combining period character with comfortable, well-equipped self-catering accommodation. With everything you need for an independent stay, they make a relaxed home-from-home for a few days in Mid Wales.

The apartments

There are two apartments, each comfortable, well equipped and sleeping up to three guests — ideal for a couple, a small family or friends travelling together. Their quiet location makes them genuinely restful, while still being only a short distance from the shops, cafés and amenities of the town. Dogs are welcome, so the whole household can come along.

A relaxed border base

The apartments suit anyone wanting to explore at their own pace — whether that means gentle riverside strolls, longer walks in the surrounding hills, or days out to the historic towns and castles of the borderland. After a day out, the peace and comfort of the apartment is a welcome place to come home to.

Newtown and the Welsh borders

Newtown is the largest town in Powys, set on the River Severn and famous as the birthplace of the social reformer Robert Owen. It has a proud textile heritage, a good range of shops and pleasant riverside walks. The surrounding area is wonderful touring country: the tiny, perfectly formed town of Montgomery, the market town of Welshpool with the National Trust’s magnificent Powis Castle, and the rolling hills and quiet lanes of the Welsh borders are all within easy reach.

The converted Victorian house gives the apartments real character, with the kind of high ceilings and generous proportions that older buildings do so well, brought up to date for comfortable modern living. Being self-contained, they offer the freedom to come and go as you please and to cater for yourselves, which suits everyone from couples on a quiet weekend to small families and walkers planning early starts in the hills.

Mid Wales is one of the quietest and most unspoilt parts of the country, and Newtown makes a handy gateway to it. From here you can follow the River Severn, explore the Glyndŵr’s Way National Trail, or simply potter between the small market towns and castles that dot the borderland. It is an area that rewards a slower, more curious kind of holiday — and a comfortable, dog-friendly base like Penygelli is just the place to enjoy it from.
