  • Sumptuous Welsh holiday home, with magnificent valley views and ideal for large groups
  • Set in rural surroundings, about 1 mile from the lively market town of Builth Wells
  • With a glass balcony, hot tub and games room, plus the possibility of booking a private chef
Property code: BN153

A luxurious detached property, which is perfect for celebratory breaks or group holidays, capturing spectacular countryside views and with a hot tub and games room.

Sitting near the vibrant town of Builth Wells, whisk family and friends away to this stylish bolthole which boasts verdant views, a warming wood burner and a bubbling hot tub. Whether you’re traipsing in from adventures in the Brecon Beacons or enjoying lazy days in the country, this home from home has everything you need. Leave nobody behind and bring your dogs along too, the enclosed garden is perfect for a morning game of fetch.

Climb the stairs to the first floor where the hub of the home welcomes you inside. The open-plan sleek kitchen/diner boasts magnificent views across the valley and is a great space in which to cook up a storm. After long days exploring you may not feel like cooking, if so, make the most of the private chef who is available for booking so you can relax before dinner. To cosy up in style, head into the lounge where a roaring wood burner will keep you warm and comfortable sofas invite you to kick back. Descend steps to bubble the night away in your private hot tub or challenge competitive guests in the games room. When day turns to night, rest your head in one of five bedrooms. All the bedrooms are decorated in calming tones and one sits on the first floor whilst the rest make up the ground floor along with the family bathroom. Wake up and make your way onto the balcony for a breath of fresh air and a mug of something warm.

If you can escape the creature comforts of this eco-friendly abode, pop on your walking boots or drive 2 miles into Builth Wells and roam the remains of Builth Castle. The market town of Hay-on-Wye, often known as the ‘Town of Books’ is slightly further afield at 20 miles from home.
