Property code: OC-BOW287

Set on a 100-acre working farm, this award-winning barn conversion is cosy and welcoming for couples or small families, with some beautiful original features. Set in the small village of Cray in the Brecon Beacons National Park, it’s in an ideal position for getting out and about in this beautiful area and exploring its many attractions, from pony trekking to white water canoeing.

This lovely cottage has some beautiful original features, including an exposed-stone wall and beamed ceilings. The lounge/diner is a welcoming and cosy space, with lots of comfortable seating and a TV with DVID and Blu-Ray. The circular wooden dining table is perfect for enjoying meals cooked up in the sweet kitchen, which has a large fridge/freezer and a washing machine. On the first floor you’ll find two pretty double bedrooms tucked under sloping ceilings, with skylights ideal for gazing up at the stars. They share a spacious bathroom, also with a skylight, that has a free-standing corner bath and a separate shower. In terms of outside space, there’s a farmyard with parking at the front, and a back garden with outdoor furniture where you can enjoy an alfresco meal and perhaps spot red kites swooping above.

In a peaceful, rural location, the cottage is nevertheless well connected, and the main bus route to Brecon (12 miles) is just a few metres away. The nearest pub, shops and petrol stations are in Sennybridge, 3.5 miles, while Brecon itself is a traditional market town where you’ll find a variety of independent shops and places to eat as well as a magnificent cathedral. There are walks from your front door and plenty of local cycling trails, and the cottage includes half a mile of private fishing on the River Crai, a tributary of the famous salmon river, the Usk.

Lovely setting within the Brecons close to lots of places to visit. Owners friendly and very informative about the organic farm and the various initiatives they are involved in - very interesting. 2-3 pubs serving good food within 15 mins of farm, some food shopping available in next village but main supermarkets are 20-25 mins drive. Pony trekkingRead more 10 mins away, Welsh rarebit centre 5 mins away, Dan yr good caves 8 mins away. Stunning scenery! Lovely holiday! Hide

The Cottage was essentially home from home in terms of an attractive, comfortable living/dining space and a well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms had lots of storage, the beds were comfortable. The whole stay at Llysfaen was peaceful, relaxing, enjoyable in a beautiful location which has to be experienced to be appreciated. If you get a chance to Read morego on the Tractor Run dont miss it!
