Property code: 42856

Gather all your favourite people for an unforgettable big-group gathering at this impressive rural retreat. Set amid miles of rolling countryside, the house and barn here offer high-end accommodation for 10 people and two pets. The Black Mountains are right outside your door; after a day of adventure lie back in the hot tub and soak up the stunning views.

Enjoying a secluded location within the Black Mountains, with Hay Bluff rising dramatically behind, this chic stone farmhouse and adjacent barn conversion are the perfect place to catch up with friends and family. Both properties have exposed beams, spacious kitchens, open-plan sitting/dining rooms and all the must-haves of home. To elevate the ambiance there’s a wood burner in the barn and an open fireplace in the farmhouse; stretch out on your choice of sofa while the youngsters escape to their own snug, where a Smart TV and Xbox offer further entertainment. When it’s time to sleep, the farmhouse has two king-size bedrooms and one double bedroom, while the barn has a further two king-size bedrooms. For further versatility, two double sofa beds are available at an extra charge. Completing the convenience for all, the bathrooms in both properties have walk-in showers and roll-top baths; there’s a separate WC in the barn and a self-contained laundry room too. Outside, a pretty terrace between the two buildings is the setting for al fresco food and drinks. End your evening with a stargazing session in the hot tub.

Some of the best walking in the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons is right outside your door, and it’s just a 5-mile drive through the national park to Hay-on-Wye, famous for its bookshops. Head 18 miles in the opposite direction and you’ll reach Abergavenny, or go west for 16 miles to Brecon.

This is a wonderful place to stay. It delivered exactly what we wanted: a stunning landscape in a remote location, with all the comforts of home. We walked among the hills, relaxed in the hot tub, and shopped for books and local produce in nearby Hay on Wye. It's a really special place, and we're planning to return next year.

We had 8 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs staying in both of the cottages. Both were fully equipped, the owners also had thought of all the little things especially with recycling. Both cottages were v clean and plenty of wood for the fires for the duration of our stay. The view from the hot tub was spectacular. This is just the place to forget the stRead moreresses and strains and just relax. Would Definitely recommend it to all our friends. Hide

These beautifully converted buildings are comfortable and warm, with a lovely view and super hot-tub, but our experience would have been better if more thought had been put into the day to day practicalities of living in a remote environment.
