Nestled amidst the trees, this charming 17th-century Welsh longhouse is perfect for explorers of all ages, as well as those with four legs. Boasting panoramic views across the majestic Black Mountains, this bolthole sits to the west of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Adventure the days away before returning home to light the wood burner and curl up beneath old oak beams.
Make your way through the entrance hallway – perfect for leaving muddy boots and coats – and into the farmhouse-style kitchen. Rustle up delicious treats which can be plated up at the breakfast table or in the sociable dining room where a flagstone floor, traditional ornamental fireplace and beautiful cabinets exude warmth and character. For a moment of peace and quiet, step down from the kitchen to find yourself in the handy utility room which houses a comfortable pair of armchairs sitting in front of the original bread oven and kitchen range. Spend lazy evenings in the lounge cosied up in front of the roaring wood burner or step out of the French doors and bask in the sunshine on the patio where you can fire up the BBQ for an easy feast. When it’s time to rest your heads, make your way to the first floor where three bedrooms with quirky sloping ceilings await. Freshen up in the walk-in shower or enjoy a soak in the tub to start your day.
Head straight from your door and tread well-trodden tracks, being sure to keep your eyes peeled for red kites which are known to reside nearby. A 30-mile trip will take you to the highest peak in South Wales, Pen-y-Fan, or stay closer to home and visit the nearby town of Llandeilo where you can visit the Heart of Wales railway line. Travel 4 miles to Carreg Cennen Castle which is steeped in history and boasts breathtaking views.
