Overview
Property code: BN310

Lovingly decorated barn conversion boasting home comforts for a family of four in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, with further properties hosting additional guests on this working sheep farm.

Located in an idyllic spot in the north of the Brecon Beacons, this beautiful barn conversion makes a great holiday home for couples and families discovering this stunning area. Set on a 220-acre working sheep farm with two other properties, this delightful property has been imaginatively converted while retaining many original features including exposed ceiling beams and whitewashed stone walls. The barn provides cosy accommodation for four guests, and offers plenty of opportunities to explore the farmland, go fishing on-site or discover the fantastic landscapes of this stunning national park.

Dating back over 200 years, this attractive barn conversion is reached via a couple of steps and features a cosy lounge with a pretty dining area, as well as a spacious and fully equipped kitchen. Heading upstairs, both the master bedroom and the twin bedroom offer stunning country views, have stylish en-suite facilities and low sloping ceilings with original beams. Stepping outside, a small patio to the side of the property features garden furniture and a BBQ, making it a lovely spot for al fresco meals in the evening. You can roam throughout the surrounding farmland, where children are welcome to help tend the sheep.

With the summit of Pen y Fan offering a magnificent backdrop (14 miles), this glorious area offers miles of exhilarating walks and bike trails. Local attractions include the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (8.5 miles), Henrhyd Falls (14.5 miles), the Wales Ape and Monkey Sanctuary (13.5 miles) and the Usk Reservoir, popular with walkers and anglers alike, with a plentiful supply of trout (6.5 miles). The nearby villages of Defynnog and Sennybridge (both 3.5 miles) provide plenty of great pubs to relax in, or you can head to the bustling cathedral town of Brecon (12 miles) with its friendly pubs, independent shops, and welcoming restaurants.

Amazing location with fantastic views. Lots of walks and places to see within reasonable travelling distance. Beware of the locals on the lanes though, they don't take any prisoners.

The barn was beautifully presented and very comfortable. We enjoyed staying on the farm, taking some evening walks there with beautiful views and seeing the animals. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful. This was a great location to explore the Brecon Beacons. We stayed for a week and there was plenty more we would have done in the area if we had mRead moreore time. Hide

A beautiful barn in peaceful surroundings. The property has its own old charm of small wondows and beams. Kitchen had all the modern appliances that you would want to use in self catering accommodation. Both ensuite bathrooms updated to quality standard. My only critisim would be that there was not enough lighting, even though there were pleanty ofRead more lamps in each room. Driving to and from the barn is not for a fainthearted driver as it is a steep incline, but well worth it for the views. Hide

The cottage is lovely, spacious, clean and very comfortable, in a very rural location, so perfect for those who want to spend time with nature, away from civilisation. It is close to many attractions that Brecon Beacons National Park can offer, most would be 20-30 minutes away by car. The views from the cottage are a bonus along with the close presRead moreence of the sheep. We definitely recommend it as it is well equipped and is in a perfect location. Thank you! Hide

Staying at the cottage was brilliant. The location was perfect within an easy drive to waterfalls and national parks. Nice and quiet apart from the sheep and birds. Great night sky with no light pollution. Helen and Keith were friendly helpful hosts. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for peaceful get away.
