A fabulous period property bursting with original features perfect for family gatherings or special celebrations in a peaceful rural location.

Gather the family and embrace a taste of countryside life from the vantage point of this impressive property just 1.5 miles from Llanwrtyd Wells. Bursting with old-world charm, this traditional Welsh longhouse sleeps 12 guests and is ideal for families and large groups seeking a quiet retreat to celebrate special occasions and explore the stunning surroundings. The owners have even provided a welcome pack of goodies for your stay.

Encircled by a vast expanse of lawn, your holiday accommodation is set in a remote location shared only with the neighbouring property. Warmed throughout by a crackling wood burner, it is a sheer delight for unwinding after a busy day of adventures. Cook up a storm in the farmhouse-style kitchen, firing up the Rangemaster to prepare feasts to enjoy in the dining room. There’s a sitting room, a handy utility room, and an elegant shower room on this level too, whilst the oak staircase leads up to a family bathroom and four beautiful first-floor bedrooms, including a king-size with an en-suite shower room. Two sets of steep cottage-style stairs reveal the remaining bedrooms tucked within the eaves of the house; a king-size with an en-suite and a single adjoining room on one level, and finally another king-size room, all of which feature sloped ceilings. Outside, the garden has spectacular views best enjoyed on the terrace over a BBQ supper.

Grab your walking boots and set out to investigate the plethora of footpaths leading from your doorstep, venturing into Llanwrtyd Wells to sample local delights at the friendly pub or loading up on essentials in the shop. Combining your visit with the annual bog snorkelling competition is great fun for all the family, and there are other exciting events such as the Welsh Open Stone-Skimming Championships and World Alternative Games.

A lovely old farmhouse, spotlessly clean, comfortable with a spacious, very well equipped kitchen. Ideal for families as there is a large sitting room with tv plus a large dining room with sofas for separate group activities. Comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. Owners based nearby and very helpful.

This is a really lovely cottage and we felt at home as soon as we arrived. There was enough space for us all to eat or sit together on really comfortable sofas, but also space to be apart if we wanted. The kitchen is equipped with pretty much everything you could need and is good to cook in. The beds were comfortable and everything felt nice and clRead moreean. The garden (which is shared with one other property) has plenty of room, but the grass does slope. The views are stunning. We plan to go back! Hide
