Designed with care and character, The Lower Heron is a charming ground floor apartment featuring two inviting bedrooms—a cosy double and a twin—alongside a plush sofa bed in the lounge area for added flexibility.

At the heart of the apartment lies a beautifully styled open-plan living space, complete with a kitchen and dining area that blends modern comfort with traditional charm. From the striking herringbone flooring to the exposed oak beams and rustic stone walls, every detail has been carefully considered to create a warm, homely atmosphere full of countryside character.

Surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields, this peaceful retreat offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Yet, for those seeking activity and entertainment, The Lower Heron delivers in abundance. Guests can enjoy access to an indoor heated swimming pool and sauna, a fishing lake, tennis court, pitch and putt, and a children’s outdoor play area. There’s also a spacious games room equipped with a pool table, table tennis, table football, and a large DVD collection, as well as a communal BBQ area—perfect for relaxed evenings with family and friends.

Nature lovers will be in their element, with idyllic walks and public footpaths right on the doorstep. Be sure to bring your walking boots to explore some of Mid Wales’ most breathtaking landscapes on foot.

This is our fourth year of booking with Holiday Wales and our first visit to the Cwm Chwefru Lake Cottages and we will be back!! The cottages were easy to find and the setting is just spectacular - snuggled in the middle of the valley. The accommodation had everything that we needed for our 3 night stay - including a full sized fridge freezer. We are an active bunch and the grounds included a lake to fish in, tennis courts and a swimming pool alongside the beautiful valley to hike through. The location was perfect for switching off and living in the present. Our only disappointment was no local farm shop or on site shop meant we had to venture out in the car! I went with my sister in law and two teenage nephews and we all loved every minute of our stay. Thank you to the friendly and informative Amy for all of your help whilst we were there.
