Promising the perfect stage for a family reunion or get together with friends, this luxury property boasts an unrivalled stay for 10 in the Brecon Beacons. With its private lake for swimming, boating and fishing, acres of land, garden furniture and a BBQ, we’ve no doubt you’ll struggle to tear your guests away from the many wonderful offerings of this holiday home. Should you bring yourself to venture further afield, the Black Mountains lay at your doorstep along with a host of charming Welsh towns that are steeped in history and intrigue, well worth an explore.

 

Beautiful decorated and flooded with light in every corner, this stunning property pairs traditional design elements with a contemporary décor and soft accents. Step inside and discover a pretty sitting room with space for all to unwind. Throw some logs on the fire and switch on the Smart TV. There’s space for all to dine together in the generous open-plan kitchen-come-diner, where an Everhot range pumps out heat on the coldest of days. Should you be stuck with some work to do you’ll be happy to find a private office on-hand for peace and quiet, although we’re sure you’d rather be tied up in the games room or making the most out of the lake and surrounding gardens.

Big kids will adore trips to the nearby Llangorse Activity Centre for nail biting excursions (10 miles) or a hike up the Waun Fach mountain (23.5 miles).

A great venue for our Christmas family gathering. A lovely location with beautiful views and grounds but not the weather for fishing or canoeing. The large hall and utility room was very practical considering the wet weather and our two dogs. The heating worked well so that the house was comfortable and warm.

Lovely house and the lake was a real winner for our family. For those wet days there is a games room but it does need upgraded. Very spacious house with great facilities and our family had an an amazing week exploring the Brecon Beacons and surrounding area.

We had a splendid week here celebrating family birthdays. The house is very comfortable, spacious and dog friendly. We enjoyed canoeing on the lake and using the games room.

We loved the house for a weekend celebrating my sons 30th birthday. It was everything we wanted and the descriptions and pictures are accurate. Very comfortable, plenty of space, loved the woodburner and Everhot cooker. A perfect weekend, thanks very much.

The Lake House is amazing! Spacious, cozy, comfortable and well equipped. The grounds and lake are great, fantastic for swimming. I would have no hesitation to book again. My first visit to this part of the UK and I will definitely be back.

The house is set in its own grounds with a well stocked carp lake which is a major bonus for us and one of the main reasons for repeat visits. Hay on Wye is a short drive away and has the basics you would expect such as a butchers, small grocery store and plenty of places to eat and drink. Accomodation is very comfortable with a large kitchen dinerRead more, comfortable living room and a choice of bedrooms to suit various group sizes. We are just about to book for the 3rd time so are definitely happy. Hide

A fantastic holiday. The house and grounds are beautiful. In particular the area around the lake is ideal for a short walk and relaxing on the lawn. The lawns are also suitable for playing games etc. The lake definately adds another dimension as we were able to paddle board, canoe and run a model boat.
