Part of a delightful smallholding situated in a picturesque spot, this peaceful barn conversion makes a relaxing holiday home for a couple discovering the wonderful Brecon Beacons National Park.

Sleeping two guests, this romantic hideaway is set in a secluded location, within half a mile of the quiet village of Lower Chapel in Powys. The village of Pwllgloyw (1.5 miles) is close by where you’ll find a welcoming pub with delicious food. Your cosy holiday home is ideal for couples or busy new parents to relax with a baby and enjoy the peaceful natural landscape. Be sure to pack your walking shoes as there’s acres of trails to enjoy, while you’ll find shops and eateries within 5 miles.

Step inside your home from home with bright country-style interiors and handsome timber beams. The kitchen, dining and living area are open-plan, with everything on hand to treat your loved one to a delicious home-cooked meal. On cooler evenings, snuggle up in the living area on cosy seating and enjoy film nights by the warming wood burner. Pack less holiday clothing as there’s a convenient utility room. Head up cottage-style stairs to the large loft bedroom for the sweetest of slumbers - enjoy starry nights with the skylights and admire the rustic room features. Step outside for morning coffees in the enclosed garden, and admire the pretty cottage-style planting. Take a leisurely stroll along grassy tracks towards farm meadows and a babbling brook.

Visit Brecon, Hay-on-Wye, Builth Wells. Make the most of this rural location near the peaceful village of Lower Chapel (0.5 miles). Go horseriding, canoeing or climbing in the Brecon Beacons National Park (4.5 miles). Try fishing and water sports on Llangorse Lake (12 miles). And don’t miss the historic market town of Brecon (5 miles) where you can walk along the canal, admire the cathedral, enjoy film screenings at an elegant 1930s-style cinema, and discover a wealth of independent shops, pubs, and eateries.

We had a wonderful stay here! Our hosts were extremely welcoming and generous, and we were very cosy and comfortable in the cottage. The garden area is beautiful and full of character. Great location too for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Thank you both!

A lovely autumn week in a lovely cottage. Cilhowey is a wonderful place to stay, set in beautiful countryside just outside Brecon so easy to get out and about in the Beacons. The cottage is extremely comfortable and cosy and the Jones family were really welcoming and helpful - perfect hosts. We will definitely be back!

A small but lovely little one bedroom cottage with a homely touch in a rural setting with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. A very quiet, scenic location perfect to unwind and relax in, bear in mind it is about 5 miles to the nearest shop. The owners are a lovely couple with lots of knowledge of the area and where to visit.

What a lovely place. The outside space was great and we spent sunny evenings at the seating area. My favourite thing was the amazingly powerful shower. The ladder steps were more manageable than I expected. The owners are very welcoming and can't do enough to help and offer activity suggestions.

A lovely quiet cottage situated next to the owners home. They are very friendly and willing to recommend places to eat and visit. The stairs are extremely steep to the bedroom and the bathroom is downstairs so bring a torch. The bed is very low and there is a beam that needs negotiating. I have 2 replacement knees and found it difficult. There is aRead more very efficient fan in the bedroom. A very comfortable and homely cottage in beautiful gardens. Hide
