Take your pick of walks from the front door of this gorgeous stone house, and in the evenings head into Brecon for a drink or a delicious meal. Furnished as a supremely comfortable home from home, including a wood burner in the delightful kitchen/diner, it’s ideal for families looking for outdoor adventures together.
Climb the steps to the entrance of the house and discover its traditionally pretty interior, filled with art, books and lovely furniture. You may hear distant sounds of rugby or cricket – the sports grounds for historic school next door are close by. Hang up your coat and wander through to the delightful lounge where there’s a TV and a DVD player, and a desk in case you need to keep up with admin. It’s the kitchen/diner that may become the hub of your holiday, though – a cosy and relaxing space with a warming wood burner, it has a well-designed cooking area and a window seat with a dining table that you’re bound to want to spend long evenings lingering over. Completing the ground floor is a shower room, while the family bathroom is on the first floor, along with the three beautiful bedrooms: a super-king-size, a twin and a single. The large, lawned garden has pretty planting and is a perfect spot for al fresco relaxation or for the little ones to run around. Take a coffee or a sundowner out here and relish the uninterrupted views of rolling hills.
In Brecon you’ll find an array of independent shops and places to eat as well as a magnificent cathedral. Hire a boat or a canoe and explore the canal, or enjoy an energetic day’s hiking: the popular starting points for the main peaks and routes of the national park are within 6 miles.
