Overview
Property code: BN118

This beautiful barn conversion sits in peaceful countryside yet is within 2 miles of the small town of Crickhowell. With original features complementing contemporary design, this cosy cottage is the perfect romantic hideaway for two.

This beautiful stone barn conversion, set within the pretty water meadows near the welcoming town of Crickhowell, is the perfect holiday cottage for a romantic retreat to the stunning Welsh countryside. With a wonderful blend of original features and contemporary design, this cosy property is beautifully appointed for a relaxing getaway. Walkers and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby landscapes, with waterways and hillsides for serene views.

You’ll also find a dining table here, so you can enjoy home-cooked meals accompanied by wonderful scenery. The kitchen is rustic and well-equipped, with wrought iron handles and hinges for a country-living feel.

Outside is a pretty enclosed garden where you can enjoy dining alfresco with a BBQ.

Cottage is in a lovely remote location surrounded by hills and countryside [and sheep!] and there is an abundance of wildlife. It has been well converted from a barn and is clean and comfortable. Crickhowell is just over 1 .5 miles by road or about 35 minutes walk using the path behind the cottage. The cottage is well placed for walks.

We have just returned from a fantastic week at Cwmbach Barn. The accommodation was comfy, spacious and well equipped, and the host was lovely. The location was just what we had hoped, being away from noisy roads and neighbours (our neighbours for the week were the sheep and the many varieties of wild birds). It was a great base for visiting the BreRead morecon Beacons and we had some wonderful days out in the local area. I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for an escape to the country. Hide

I wasn't sure at first, as we drove down a grassey track to the cottage. Is it too isolated. No is the answer. It was perfect. Beautiful spot in the valley.

Fabulous quiet location with easy access to town and all the local sights. Great walks around the cottage. Straight on to a path/right of way at the back of the cottage which is great for dog walks. Loads to see and do around the area and we plan to come back as soon as we have time. Cottage equipment and comfort was fantastic.

We stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. Remote whilst close to local villages/towns, peaceful and with plenty of walks from the barn. We loved watching all the birds on the feeder including a daily visit from a woodpecker. The cottage was larger than we thought it would be which was a bonus, and very comfortable with the fire, comfy sofaRead mores and well equipped kitchen. We would highly recommend staying here! Hide

We loved our stay at the barn, it is very well equipped, cosy and peaceful.......with nothing around you just the meadows and views of the hills. It was the perfect base for us to explore the Brecon Beacons. You can walk from the barn up into the hills with amazing views for miles and also walk into the nearby villages of llangattock, crickhowell aRead morend along the canal to Gilwern. Highly recommend 'The horseshoe inn' and 'The vine tree' as places to eat in llangattock. Overall we had a fab stay. Hide
