Property code: 56811

Brimming with traditional 16th century character, this stylish mountain home has been thoughtfully restored and designed for groups of six guests to enjoy on their Welsh holiday. Spend days exploring the Brecon Beacons and evenings curled up in front of the warming wood burner and admiring the views from this fabulous home.

Entering the porch, you can kick off those walking boots and hang up your soggy coats before entering into the inviting lounge. This welcoming space has a double height ceiling and warming wood burner set in a stone fireplace. Curl up on the comfortable sofas and get stuck into a movie on the Smart TV. Just a step down from here is the spacious and contemporary kitchen. Here you will find everything you need to cook up a storm as well as a central island breakfast bar. Eat together around the six-seater dining table, or admire the garden views from the sunroom. A handy shower room is also situated on the ground floor. Climb the winding stone staircase to the first floor. Choose from the master bedroom with king-size bed, a double bedroom, or a twin bedroom, all of which have superb scenery from every window. A family bathroom completes the interior of the property. Outside is a large garden with patio area and a lawn space.

Find walking routes direct from the door that wind through the Brecon Beacons National Park taking in spectacular scenery. If you fancy a challenge, climb Pen y Fan (16 miles) or Waun Fach (20 miles) in the Black Mountains. Find plenty of shops to peruse and places to eat in the picturesque town of Crickhowell (7.5 miles).

This is a truly beautiful house in a lovely tranquil setting. The house was exceptionally clean, very tastefully decorated and you can tell that the owners have carefully considered everything you need for a very comfortable stay! We loved seeing the little sheep enjoying life amongst the rolling hills! There are 9 steps up to the bedroom which areRead more steep but there is a sturdy handrail. I am very clumsy but I had no troubles navigating them. The bed is so comfortable we slept like babies! Hide

Beautiful and very well-equipped house in a lovely quiet location best reached if you are happy driving narrow country roads. Great views, garden is beautiful and the bbq and croquet set are a bonus. Cold floors even in the July heatwave, bring your slippers!

Wonderful cottage, the interior is absolutely stunning. Well equipped kitchen which is always an asset. Beautifully furnished. It is a remote location which was great for us for walking , the drive is a steep incline after long day hiking lol. Both butchers in Crickhowell well worth a visit to stock up for the week.

We are a family of 5 adults. We shared the most wonderful Christmas and New Year at Pen Y Garn.

The second gate up the drive is awkward to open - would benefit with a bit of maintenance (or even reverting back to electric). Hide

We had a wonderful long weekend at Pen Y Garn! The location was stunning, the house was beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed some stunning walks right from the house, views are incredible and we enjoyed a fantastic friends get together. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again some time.

A beautiful property in a picturesque & quite isolated location. The grounds were pretty, although we didn't have the weather to enjoy them.

Perfect for a complete escape. Beautiful isolated location. Lovely garden and spacious house with good shower. Very long single track road to house, two gates to manoeuvre and extremely steep driveway and stairs, so not for the unfit! We had a great week with family and friends.

A lovely cottage in a lovely remote location - lots of walks from the house and streams for children to play in. The stone floor was chilly even in summer so you may want to pack your slippers - although the fire (wood was provided ) kept us cosy! We ate at the red lion down the road which was good value pub grub.
