Walnut Tree Cottage

Walnut Tree Cottage is a timber-framed, thatched house dating from the 16th century, standing alone in Brampton Bryan. The village sits in the Welsh Border countryside with good walking nearby, and a salmon river is within a 5-minute walk. The enclosed garden with patio and furniture is a genuine draw for families, and there's parking for multiple vehicles on the property. One dog is welcome.

Inside, three bedrooms accommodate six people comfortably. Two have double beds (4ft 6in), and one contains a double and a single (flexible sleeping arrangement). The single bathroom has both bath and shower. Downstairs holds a sitting room with open fire (fuel included), a dining room, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking—it has an electric cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. The heating is oil-fired central heating, and wifi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all provided. A bike store is available if you want to explore further afield.

This suits families or groups looking for a rural base with enough space to spread out. The nearest shop is 2 miles away. Acton Scott working farm museum and various local pubs are accessible for days out. The property is non-smoking.
