Set on a family farm within Brecon Beacons National Park, this detached cottage offers uninterrupted views across the Black Mountains. Sleeping four people over two bedrooms and offering increased accessibility, it’s the ideal accommodation option for small families or groups of friends who enjoy chic, contemporary living in the heart of the countryside. Explore waymarked paths right from your doorstep, and when you get home, take a dip in the private hot tub and soak up those incredible mountain views.
Step inside the entrance hall and you’ll be met by wonderful landscape views from the glass corridor that leads you to the spacious open-plan living area/kitchen/diner. This social space is perfect if you like to chat as you’re cooking dinner, and the large patio doors allow you to enjoy views while you cook and eat. Alternatively, head outside, light up the BBQ and dine alfresco in the patio area. After dinner, take a well-earned dip in the private hot tub, or relax in front of the wood burner in the living area. When the day is done, there’s one bedroom on the ground floor and one on the first floor to choose from.
Take a stroll at Longtown Castle, which is practically on your doorstep. This 12th-century keep was built on the site of a Roman fort that was home to a 500-strong cohort of infantry. For a day out with a difference, go ‘llama trekking’ at Old King Street Farm (5.5 miles). The llamas there will be delighted to accompany you on a gentle walk through the fields and down to the village of Ewyas Harold. Or make your way to Goytre Wharf (15.5 miles), where you can hire a canoe and paddle along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal.
