THE BOTHY is a recently converted stone cowshed with original beams in the hamlet of LLETHR LLWYD which is right in the middle of the Edwinsford Estate over a mile from the public road. Approached by a stone track, not suitable for Porches but not requiring a 4x4 either, just don't go too fast (!)

The fishing now extends to over five and a half miles of double bank fishing of great variety from slow deep pools much liked by sewin, open meadows with natural and man made pools and several miles of wooded river with generally faster flows. The fishery provides excellent fly water for night and daytime fishing when the conditions are right as well as other stretches better suited to spinning. The Blackbird's Fancy is "tolerated" after 16th June until 10th October when catch and release become compulsory.

There are miles of paths, tracks along the river, through the woods and across open country which provide spectacular walking and cycling, either on the flat or some parts which are guaranteed to set your heart going rather faster! Over 200,000 deciduous trees have been planted in the last 4 years which creates extremely varied habitat for wildlife - an aboretum (in its infancy) adds to the interest.

The Bothy which is centrally heated consists of :

Entrance hall with seating, radiator for drying and plenty of hooks for outdoor clothing and fishing equipment

Shower-room with integral shower, toilet and basin

Open plan living area with Sky television, built in wardrobe and either twin or king sized double bed + Z bed - also kitchen area with :
Electric Cooker
Microwave
Fridge freezer
Dishwasher
Washer/dryer
Terrace with wonderful views over the valley with barbecue and garden furniture
Outside dog kennel

During the fishing season the rental is £425 (£475 in school holidays) per week with fishing charged at £200 per rod per week.

3 night weekends or 4 night midweek breaks when available are charged at £237.50 (£300 bank holidays) plus fishing if required at £40 per rod per day.
