Overview
Property code: OC-T28942

This impressive country retreat is set in the hillside hamlet of Dardy, overlooking the picturesque town of Crickhowell. The spacious property sleeps up to 16 guests and boasts two reception rooms, a commercial-style kitchen, and beautiful outdoor areas for al fresco entertaining. Nearby family days out include Big Pit National Coal Museum (11 miles) and the Brecon Mountain Railway (16 miles).

The luxurious holiday home is bursting with character and period features, including exposed stone walls, elegant beams, and original windows. Each room oozes elegance and sophistication, with a fabulous array of ornate furniture and stylish accessories. A large entrance hall, with ample space to store outdoor attire, welcomes you inside the property. A sociable lounge/diner provides the perfect place for hosting dinner parties, with a banquet-style table to seat everyone and a collection of plush sofas for enjoying pre-dinner drinks from the bar. After dinner, retire to the second lounge, where you can watch the Smart TV in the glow of the wood burner or play pool with your fellow guests. A separate, commercial-style kitchen has everything needed to cater for a large group. A choice of two staircases lead to the first floor and seven exquisitely decorated bedrooms, all of which boast en-suite facilities. The two master bedrooms are set in the eaves on the second floor and enjoy stunning mountain views along with their own lounge areas and en-suite facilities. Outside, terraces to the front and rear of the property offer ample space for soaking up the sunshine and dining alfresco. There’s also a private hot tub for reviving weary limbs after a long walk.

The picturesque Georgian town of Crickhowell (1.5 miles) has a bustling high street with a good range of shops, pubs, and restaurants. Set at the foot of the Black Mountains, the walking opportunities are endless, with nearby peaks including Table Mountain (2 miles) and Sugar Loaf (7.5 miles). Further afield, you can take on the mighty Pen y Fan (18.5 miles), the highest peak in southern Britain. For something a little more sedate, enjoy gentle strolls along the River Usk or the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal.

Absolutely fabulous stay from start to finish. The property is so beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice on just how big and amazing it really is. Alex is very helpful and attentive from the welcome Prosecco, to little notes left around the property and the texts and calls back and forth between us due to storm darragh causing a power cut,Read more alex even sorted getting us wood from her neighbour and updates on the power returning. It did not dampen our weekend away a large group of adults, mainly couples who go away once a year without the kids. Beds are super comfortable, blankets available and we all love a blanket, kitchen had everything we needed and large enough fridge and freezers for all our food and alcohol. Hot tub was great and very clean, games room was our favourite room, the girls could watch a film in the sitting area while the lads played pool/darts etc and we was still all together. Do not have one bad thing to say about our stay and would highly recommend! We normally stay in a new property every time we go away but if we was to return anywhere it would be here! Hide

Alex left us prosecco on arrival which was very much appreciated and she was available for any problems which may have occurred. The house was beyond our expectations. Beautifully decorated and so much space. The views are gorgeous too. Easy to get onto thRead moree canal for walking and a short walk into Crickhowell. It was even better than we expected. Hide

Absolutely fantastic property. Fabulous views. Really comfortable. Immaculately clean. Very responsive host. I actually cant fault this place. Having been let down by Airbnb with less than 24 hours before 15 people were heading to Wales, Alex was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Wholeheartedly recommend.
