Get back to nature and have the nurturing holiday of your dreams at this beautifully converted barn. Book a spa treatment, explore 70 acres of farmland and historic grounds then enjoy afternoon tea delivered direct to your door. With two en-suite bedrooms and a choice of social spaces, this pet-friendly property promises a break that’s as busy or laid-back as you’d like.
Brecon Beacons birdsong comes as standard outside, while inside there’s a blend of classic and contemporary design, with high oak-beamed ceilings, a wood burner and mix of artwork adding ambience to the open-plan living space. Glazed barn doors flood the living space with light; stretch out on the sofa to admire the view, prepare dinner in the modern kitchen along one side of the room then enjoy good food and lively conversation around the rustic dining suite. Open-tread stairs lead from here to a mezzanine area where there’s a day bed, Smart TV, DVD and iPod dock – an ideal chill-out zone. Also reached via a few steps from the living area is the first of two beautiful bedrooms – a king-size with its own en-suite shower room. The second is a super-king size room which can be made into twins on request and also has an en-suite shower room. Your living space extends outdoors, where there are landscaped topiary and herb gardens to explore as well as two terraced areas, one with a table, chairs, and BBQ. A garden/lawn is shared with the adjacent cottage and guests are also welcome to enjoy the owner’s historic grounds and gardens.
For the ultimate unwind, a beautiful spa room and sauna is close to the cottage, offering a range of massage therapies and beauty treatments; yoga, pilates or ballet lessons, guided walks and cycle rides and afternoon tea deliveries can all be booked with the owner. Just a mile away, the rural village of Craswall sits on the Monnow River; explore the ruins of its 12th-century priory and visit the pub for a taste of local life.
