The Welsh name Cynynion Uchaf translates in English to Upper Intentions — a name that reflects our mission to provide our customers with a getaway experience that goes above and beyond their expectations.

Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is by 10am and we like to meet our guests on arrival and departure. There is a lockbox if you arrive late or leave early.

The house sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms, however we can accommodate up to two additional guests on comfortable fold-up beds with proper mattresses, priced at £35 per guest, per night. We can also provide a travel cot and bedding, suitable for infants up to 15kg (approx 3 years).

Two well-behaved medium sized and house trained dogs are welcome at no extra cost.  Not allowed upstairs please and must be kept on a lead outside as it is a working farm. Bowls and towels provided.

There is also a separate built-in oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee machine, slow cooker, steamer and food processor.

The farmhouse is set in beautiful countryside and Oswestry town with supermarkets, takeaways and restaurants is just a 10 minute drive away. Supermarkets, takeaways and Just Eat deliver to the farmhouse and there are local pubs a short drive or taxi trip away.

Where to begin! There is so much to see and do in and around Oswestry. Some favourites include Oswestry Iron Age Hill Fort, Oswestry Castle, Whittington Castle, St Oswalds Church, National Trust houses at Chirk, Erddig, Attingham Park and Powis Castle, Lake Vyrnwy, Snowdonia National Park and the Canal World Heritage Site at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, near to Llangollen are also popular places to visit. Wrexham AFC owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney is a half hour drive away and the Roman City Chester provides a great day out. There are lots of leaflets in the farmhouse and we are more than willing to help assist with planning days out!

Anytime is a great time to stay at the farmhouse! The garden starts with snowdrops, daffodils and tulips around March, then colour all summer with all sorts of beautiful flowers. Walking can be any time of the year depending on the weather and the log burner provides a cozy atmosphere for days when you can't get out, to just sit, relax, enjoy the house, read or watch films! There are plenty of books and games for all ages! Cynynion Uchaf is almost 1000 feet above sea level and in harsh winters with snow and ice, there could be access problems, as with anywhere, but fortunately this doesn't happen often. The farmhouse is decorated for Christmas in December and is a very special and magical place to be!

There are peak and off-peak prices. Please see our Accommodation and Bookings pages for more information.   There are two extra fold up single beds at an additional cost of £25 per bed per person per night. Prices include VAT.

There is a small unfenced pond in the garden and young children should be supervised at all times.

Samantha Sharp

This is my second visit to Cynynion Uchaf and just like the first time, I had an incredible time.

The house is wonderful! It’s very clean, has every home comfort you would need, the beds are really comfortable and the bed linen is like new. Samantha is a wonderful host, she always makes us feel so welcomed and that nothing is too much trouble. We paid for a home cooked Sunday lunch over the weekend and it was well worth the money. We visited in September and May and both times we have been able to make use of the conservatory and been able to sit in the garden. Surrounded by beautiful flowers, birds, squirrels and sheep is just so peaceful that we never want to leave!

Samantha also gave us recommendations for places to visit while visiting. Oswestry which is only a couple of miles away and is filled with quirky little shops, pubs and restaurants. The location is perfect for a group of friends (like us), couples and families.

Aman Kahlon

This property truly exceeded my expectations! The spacious layout and cozy atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the soft sheets added an extra touch of luxury.

Cleanliness was impeccable throughout the entire property. The breathtaking views from the location were simply spectacular. The host's friendliness and hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable getaway, and I can't wait to return myself!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Cynynion Uchaf Farmhouse in Oswestry, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine sense of care from the owners.

The farmhouse itself is a charming blend of rustic beauty and modern comfort. The rooms are tastefully decorated and impeccably clean, offering a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. The attention to detail is evident throughout, with thoughtful touches such as gifts for the kids, milk in the fridge, and even a bottle of Prosecco which added that touch of luxury.

One of the highlights of my stay was the breathtaking view surrounding the farmhouse. Nestled in the heart of the countryside, the property boasts stunning panoramic views of the rolling hills and lush green fields. It was a true retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing me to unwind and reconnect with nature.

What truly sets this farmhouse apart is the genuine warmth and hospitality of the owners. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable, offering helpful suggestions on local attractions and ensuring that I had everything I needed.

Overall, my experience at Cynynion Uchaf Farmhouse was nothing short of exceptional. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in the countryside with comfortable accommodations, breathtaking views, and friendly hosts, I highly recommend staying at this wonderful farmhouse in Oswestry.
