Overview
Property code: 90239

This beautiful apartment, formally the old chemist, enjoys an ideal location within the heart of Sennybridge, the largest of the villages within the Upper Usk Valley. It’s tucked between the Mynydd Epynt and the Carmarthen Fans and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a perfect destination for a couple looking for a relaxing or active holiday.

An elegant split-level property that is welcoming and invites you to leave your cares at the door and simply relax into a superior stay. Step from the high street into a spacious entrance hall where you can leave walking boots and coats behind, and marvel at the high ceilings that showcase the solid oak stairwell featuring a beautiful chandelier. Enter the delightful lounge that offers plenty of natural light from two large picture windows and the original doors. The California shutters match the elegant interior furnishing and decor of this room. Take time to relax in the comfortable seating in front of a Smart TV and snuggle up with the wood burner lit on chilly nights. Opposite the entrance hall, climb the three stairs to the generously sized and fully equipped kitchen/diner finished with contemporary styling and soft lighting to create the perfect space for a romantic supper. The quirky shower room was formally the chemist’s medicine preparation room. An oak staircase leads down to a double bedroom, a lovely sanctuary for couples with a touch of luxury including dressing gowns, slippers, and soft Egyptian cotton sheets that will help you to have a perfect night’s sleep.

Explore the impressive National Showcaves for Wales at Dan yr Ogof (10 miles) and discover the underground waterfalls of Cathedral Cave. Spend the day walking ‘Waterfall Country’ at Ystradfellte (13 miles) or visit Henrhyd Falls (16 miles) and hike the footpath and bridge to enjoy the spectacular cascade. Take a trip to the Red Kite Feeding Station (11 miles) and watch these beautiful birds of prey close up. Of course, a trip to Brecon (9 miles) is a must, to discover its eateries, museums and renowned annual food festival.

The Old Chemist Shop is beautifully appointed and was immaculately presented. Everything you could need for a holiday stay was there, all good quality and spotlessly clean. In my experience it is very difficult to find a property for two people that is 'full size'. This certainly is, it has a full sized kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom. It makRead morees for very comfortable living, not always a given in a 'holiday rental'. Hide

Me and my partner stayed here for a little weekend getaway to celebrate our Anniversary and when I tell you it was perfect, I mean it! We absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be coming back. Straight off the bat we were made to feel at home with a wonderful welcome from Roy who gave us recommendations on places to go for walks and dayRead mores out as well as where to go if we wanted a quiet little drink as well. The Welcome gifts were also a wonderful treat as well. 5 Stars! Hide

Beautiful property with lots of little personal extras such as slippers and dressing gowns. Very clean, comfortable and well maintained. Liz made sure we settled in and brought round some homemade Welsh cakes which were delicious. Would definitely recommend and would be very happy to stay here again.

We loved our stay at the old chemist shop. The flat was immaculate and clean. The decor was classy and there were nice personal touches like the home made Welsh cakes, bread and champagne. Was a great location to see Brecon. We particularly like four waterfalls walk which was daily accessible.

If you are reading this review you must be thinking about booking. Stop reading and just book! Quality recent renovation with a lot of personal touches to make it an enjoyable stay. Great location to explore Brecon Beacons too. Recommend Crickhowell, 4 waterfall walk and Aberglasney Gardens.
