A comfortable, peaceful base in classic rolling Powys countryside, it is ideally placed for Powis Castle, the Vyrnwy valley and the quiet lanes and hills of the Welsh borders — a relaxing spot well away from the crowds.

The bed and breakfast

Tan-y-Graig offers comfortable, well-kept en-suite rooms and a genuinely warm welcome, in a calm village-edge setting with excellent surroundings. As a smaller, personally run guest house, it has the kind of friendly, attentive feel that larger hotels can’t match — somewhere to relax properly after a day exploring the area. The peaceful countryside location, with views across the Vyrnwy valley, is a big part of the appeal.

Good to know

A comfortable four-star B&B makes an ideal touring base: somewhere restful to return to after a day at Powis Castle, a walk by Lake Vyrnwy or a ride on one of the area’s heritage railways. The Welsh borders are wonderful walking and cycling country, with Offa’s Dyke Path tracing the frontier nearby, and the market towns of Welshpool and Llanfyllin offer traditional shops, cafés and a warm Mid Wales welcome.
