Get the extended family together for an unforgettable trip to the Brecon Beacons, hanging your hats in this unique and versatile holiday home. Boasting two properties on the same sight- the main farmhouse and sympathetically converted barn- this accommodation comfortable sleeps 10 guests. Residents both young and old will find plenty to see and do in the local area, with the National Parks mountains, dark skies and charming towns all close by for discovery.

 

Despite being two separate properties, the main farmhouse and barn conversion have both been decorated with the upmost luxury in mind. No expense appears to have been spared when it comes to farmhouse kitchens, one of which has an original AGA range cooker (AGA use, additional extra), as well as an electric oven and induction hob,  and TV for morning entertainment. There’s space for everyone to dine together in the dining room or outside in the private courtyard. Come rain or shine you’ll find plenty of space to unwind. Enjoy evening drinks and amazing views in the private hot tub, sink into a cushy L-shaped sofa for TV watching in the snug or perhaps throw a log or two on the fire in the cosy lounge.

 

Set in the stunning landscape of the Black Mountains, you’ll never find yourself short of walking and cycling routes throughout the duration of your stay. Step outside with your loved ones in tow, ready to tackle the Waun Fach or Sugar Loaf Mountains, both within 30 miles. A trip to Llangors Lake (13.5 miles) is a hotspot for waterside walks or nail-biting guided activities, whilst the book town of Hay-on-Wye (5.5 miles) is close by for a much less strenuous day out.

  • 1 bathroom in the main house and barn, both with walk in showers and roll-top baths, plus 1 separate WC in barn

We had 8 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs staying in both of the cottages. Both were fully equipped, the owners also had thought of all the little things especially with recycling. Both cottages were v clean and plenty of wood for the fires for the duration of our stay. The view from the hot tub was spectacular. This is just the place to forget the stRead moreresses and strains and just relax. Would Definitely recommend it to all our friends. Hide

These beautifully converted buildings are comfortable and warm, with a lovely view and super hot-tub, but our experience would have been better if more thought had been put into the day to day practicalities of living in a remote environment.

We stayed in this property as a group of 8 and it was glorious. The views are outstanding, the property is stunning and the hot tub is of course great fun. Excellent walks nearby and the beautiful town of Hay on Wye a 20 minute drive away/1.5 hour walk. We had an amazing time staying here!
