Please note: The property has a natural water supply from a borehole. There are 20 steps in the garden with no handrail and a fenced stream bordering the property.. Rhydleos Mill originally served Llansilin and the surrounding villages. Local farmers would bring their grains for milling and then take their produce home. As the industry changed, the demand for the mill ceased and a local farmer then used the building for sheep dipping. In more recent years the mill has been transformed into stylish holiday accommodation and still showcasing many original character features. The handsome farmhouse, that originally owned the mill, still sits opposite the property and the water that worked the mill borders the grounds.

Amazing location for a remote getaway with good broadband if you want to work from home. We thoroughly enjoyed all the nearby walks and there are multitudes of attractions from closeby towns to waterfalls

Went for 3 days with children and grandchildren (6 adults and 5 kids). Quiet location and lots of area for play. Well equipped but perhaps an airfrier would help as we had a aga malfunction but the owners tried to resolve and even cooked some food for us. Owners kept in contact to help wherever they could. Good area plenty to do around oswestry. Overall a good break

The house and location were great, very spacious and quiet. The kitchen was nice except that we couldn’t get the aga stove to work, we did get it to start at one point but it started leaving black smoke so we turned it off!I text the landlord twice but they did not respond which was disappointing! We had to cook on a two burner camper stove in the utility, which was very difficult and impractical. We had planned on baking food in the oven but that went to waste as we didn’t have an oven to use!It had plenty of room , it just needs a good clean as there was dust and spiders and cobwebs everywhere, the children were frightened of them.
