View Self-Catering Holiday Cottages in Powys

Powys may be the largest county in Wales, but it is also the least densely populated, with vast tracts of wild and beautiful moorland in the north, mid and south Powys, such as the scenic Elan Valley or the stunning and rugged Brecon Beacons. Holiday cottages in Powys are mainly to be found in predominantly rural areas covered in small traditional family farms that offer delightful farm cottage holidays in beautiful secluded locations. The area's unspoilt, quiet and undeveloped nature makes it a truly inspiring place to walk, cycle, birdwatch, and experience traditional farming and other outdoor activities. There are no urban conurbations in Powys, just small and sleepy market towns such as Brecon, Rhayader and Machynlleth. Visitors come to the county for its fantastic landscapes, quiet roads, small-scale attractions, wonderful wildlife and a friendly welcome. Holiday Cottages in Powys can also be found several historic towns and villages, including Machynlleth, Welshpool, and Hay-on-Wye, the latter famous for its bookshops and annual book festival The county has a rich cultural heritage, with many castles, churches, and other historic sites, and is also known for its dark skies, making it an ideal destination for stargazing.
