This charming property is ideal for couples seeking an active holiday in the Brecon Beacons. A footpath from the property leads straight up the valley to Llangattock Mountain, where the caves of Agen Allwedd are very popular for caving. Craig-y-Cilliau, the hillside behind this delightful barn conversion, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest rich in wildlife species and a haven for nature lovers. The cottage is within easy reach of the villages of Llangattock (1 mile) and Crickhowell (2.5 miles), where there are plenty of eateries and coffee shops to visit after hiking or biking in the hills.
This lovely barn conversion, set over two floors, is full of character. Whitewashed exposed stone walls and beautiful traditional beams blend seamlessly with all the comforts of everyday living. Downstairs, the open-plan lounge has large patio doors that let natural light pour in. High ceilings in the living room give a sense of space, and the two sofas facing the wood burner are ideal for relaxing while enjoying a film on the Smart TV. The kitchen has all the appliances you need to prepare a delicious brunch or romantic evening meal. Upstairs, you’ll find a king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Head outside and enjoy the small, sheltered garden where you can fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco on fine evenings watching the sunset.
Delve into the area’s history with a visit to the Big Pit National Coal Museum and nearby Blaenavon Steam Railway, 10 miles away. History buffs should head to Raglan Castle (15.5 miles) to discover how this imposing fortress, set in beautiful countryside, became a fortress and then a regal residence. Walkers can explore the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, where the town of Talybont-on-Usk (11 miles) is an ideal spot for trails for all abilities, including along the Brecon Canal.
