In the heart of Montgomeryshire, within the serene Garthmyl Hall estate on the Powys/Shropshire border, lies one of Wales’ most enchanting retreats: The Boathouse. This property is nothing short of paradise — a sanctuary where the beauty of nature meets the elegance of luxury living. For couples seeking a getaway that combines tranquillity with unforgettable experiences, The Boathouse offers the perfect escape.

Set beside its own private lake, The Boathouse is a dream come true for those who appreciate the finer things in life. As you arrive, you’re greeted by stunning views that stretch across the hall gardens and extend towards the majestic hills of Montgomery. The scenery alone is enough to take your breath away, but it’s the property itself that truly captivates. The Boathouse is a masterpiece of design — quirky yet classy, intimate yet grand.

Inside The Boathouse

Step inside, and you’ll find that The Boathouse is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. The living space is bathed in natural light, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling glazing that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the surrounding landscape. The double-height living area is a highlight, with a large picture window framing the view perfectly. The interior design is a blend of classic country style and vintage charm, creating a cosy yet stylish atmosphere.

The open-plan layout downstairs invites you to relax and unwind. Picture yourself curled up on the plush sofa, enjoying a good book or simply enjoying the views. The well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need to prepare a romantic dinner, which you can enjoy at the dining table as you watch the sunset. The bathroom, with its large walk-in shower, adds a touch of luxury, while the mezzanine level upstairs is where the magic truly happens. Here, you’ll find a four-poster super king bed and a double-ended copper bath, strategically placed to let you soak in the waterside views while you soak in the bubbles.

The Boathouse is the perfect place to escape as there is no TV, so no need for outside distractions. Leave the technology at home and completely switch off in your relaxing haven.

Outdoor Bliss

The Boathouse’s outdoor space is just as enchanting as its interior. Throw open the bi-fold doors and step out onto your private jetty patio, where you can spend hours simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The gentle lap of the water, the rustle of the leaves, and the melodic birdsong create a symphony of nature that soothes the soul. You can enjoy a lovely log fire in the evenings.

Exploring the Surroundings

While The Boathouse itself offers plenty to keep you entertained, the surrounding area is rich with opportunities for exploration. Hiking enthusiasts will be drawn to the historic Offa’s Dyke Path, while those looking for a gentler stroll can take in the beauty of the Montgomeryshire Canal. For a scenic adventure, cross the border into the Shropshire Area of Natural Beauty, just a thirty-minute drive away.

If you prefer to take it easy, a ride on the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway offers a charming way to experience the Welsh countryside. Nearby, the town of Montgomery beckons with its independent shops and delightful eateries. History lovers will appreciate a visit to the ruins of Montgomery Castle or the grand Powis Castle and Gardens, just a short drive away.

The Perfect Retreat for Couples

The Boathouse at Garthmyl Hall is the ultimate retreat for couples in need of rest, relaxation, and a touch of luxury. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a peaceful escape from the every day, this property provides the perfect setting for creating cherished memories.
