Nestled within a farm in the Brecon Beacons National Park, this rural bolthole is the perfect place to recharge the batteries. With spectacular countryside and mountain views, this is an idyllic base for a family of four looking to explore the Welsh landscape, whether on foot or on an electric bike!

This former henhouse has been cleverly converted into a light and airy hideaway with a contemporary finish. Enter into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you’ll instantly feel the warmth from the underfloor heating in this spacious yet inviting room. Spend many happy hours here, whether reclining on the leather sofas, streaming a film on the Smart TV, or playing board games around the dining table. Cook up family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen space and serve up around the marvellous table, where bi-folding doors allow the mountain views to become your backdrop for the evening. Enjoy a great night’s sleep in the lovely super-king-size bedroom or the king-size, both with en-suites. Outside, the private enclosed garden is a beautiful spot to enjoy a few chapters of your novel.

Hire an electric bike from the property owners and take to the many trails and routes available from your doorstep. For the hikers of the party, head to the summits of Sugar Loaf and Skirrid, which can be seen from the property in all their majesty. Abergavenny is a 3-mile drive and provides an eclectic mix of shops, pubs and restaurants, with regular food festivals and markets to encounter. Take a trip to the Three Castles of Gwent, all within 10 miles of the accommodation and encompassing the medieval settlements of Grosmont, Skenfrith and White Castle.

We had a wonderful break in the Hideaway. It may have rained a lot, but we were cosy and dry. Very comfortable, well equipped and located holiday home. Properly enclosed garden for our dog which is always a bonus. It's a mile and a half up a very narrow country lane, but we only met one other vehicle the whole week. So much to do in the local area Read moreand lots of pubs to visit! Plus castles, an ice cream parlour, vineyards and countryside to die for! Hide

Lovely barn conversion in a very peaceful, beautiful area. Well equipped and comfortable. Convenient for lots of attractions that Wales has to offer and plenty of lovely walks around the cottage. Friendly and helpful host.

We loved the area and location. It was perfect for the dog. Our party found the property a little austere especially the living area, needs some curtains. The beds are comfy and it was brilliant having a bathroom for each couple. Great recommendations from the owner of places to eat and see, we loved The Hunters Moon for Sunday lunch. The Crown wasRead more fabulous as well. Hide
