Alexanderstone Manor

A Grade II-listed country home, this manor house for twelve guests makes for the most atmospheric retreat for families and friends. On the northern fringes of the Brecon Beacons National Park near Brecon, it boasts access to some of the country’s most beautiful swathes of untamed wilderness as well as proximity to local amenities, including a nearby pub. Nestled within a protected wildlife area, outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers will feel particularly at home here, cycling the Taff Trail, hiking the rocky hulk of Pen Y Fan and sunbathing in the garden, listening out for the tell-tale call of red kites.

Exuding romantic appeal, this 15th century rural manor invites families and groups of friends to settle in. Surrounded by sprawling grounds, the property’s grand façade houses a characterful interior where exposed stone walls and original features mingle with modern accoutrements and soft, comfortable furnishings. Perfectly designed for social gatherings, the downstairs’ features a fully equipped, self-catering kitchen and a welcoming open-plan dining-cum-sitting room where a large table easily accommodates family meals. Ensuring restful nights of sleep and easy mornings getting ready, this property benefits from five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Outside, immaculately maintained grounds are home to a BBQ for summer use.

Just 1.5 miles from the village of Groesffordd, home to a popular pub, and only 3 miles from the market town of Brecon, with its array of shops, supermarkets and cafés, guests are never far from picturesque streets and welcoming eateries. Wander along the Brecon Canal (hailed as South Wales’ most beautiful), peruse the independent shops and stop for a moment to marvel at the cathedral – where a priory has stood since 1093AD. Another day you could enjoy a picnic at Langorse Lake (8.5 miles) or challenge yourself with a walk up nearby Pen y Crug (3 miles).
