The Old Mill, Maenan

This charming apartment, with loads of character, is part of a sympathetically converted 18th Century watermill, situated beside a wooded hill and stream.
Located in the beautiful Conway Valley, This is the perfect rural retreat for two. On the doorstep are acres of woodland to roam through, a mass of bluebells in May, wood anenomies later. One path leads to a rocky crag, a local beauty spot known as Cadair Ifan Goch, Red Ifans Chair, named after the giant who used to sit there and wash his hands in the river Conway. From this viewpoint the whole valley is laid out below.
Because of its location, the Mill is also a great place for your four-legged family members. (Up to two medium-ish perfectly behaved ones would be fine - anything other may be negotiable!).
