Our Meeting House, dating back to 1700, and with a small cottage attached, is set in an enchanting hollow surrounded by trees in the beautiful Montgomeryshire countryside. It was originally built by local Quakers on land owned by the Lloyd family of Dolobran.
Present members of the Lloyd family have recently carried out comprehensive restoration work.
The Meeting House is reached on foot, along a lane and across a field, so stout footwear is needed.
We love to have visitors, just give one of us a call for details.
