Part of a restored Georgian stable block within an ancient farmstead, this fabulous two-bedroomed abode is well-located for adventures in the Brecon Beacons and Welsh Borders. With pet-friendly gardens front and back, a wood burner in the welcoming sitting room and two dream-inducing bedrooms, it’s less than 2 miles from Hay-on-Wye and has a wealth of walks and cycle routes on the doorstep.
One of an exclusive collection of former farm buildings, access to this atmospheric abode is through a private, enclosed garden. Step inside the open-plan living space and you’ll find a Shaker-style kitchen in one corner, housing all the cooking essentials of home and complemented by a separate utility room with a washing machine and WC. The rest of this space is for relaxation; stretch out on the sofas with Welsh woollen blankets and a wood burner to keep you snug – there's central heating too – while you watch the Smart TV or listen to your favourite music. Adjacent, the stylish dining room leads onto a private patio and is full of light. Upstairs, two peaceful bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – will have you sleeping soundly and share use of the contemporary bathroom. Private, enclosed gardens at both the front and back of the barn offer a choice of location for al fresco feasts and chill time.
Your holiday cottage sits close to the village of Clyro, famous for its Sherlock Holmes connections – author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is said to have written The Hound of the Baskervilles while staying here – and is less than 2 miles from bookish Hay-on-Wye. This is prime walking territory, with the national park just to the south and the cathedral town of Brecon 16 miles away – a good stopping place en-route to Pen y Fan, the largest of the peaks.
