Property code: OC-CRAIVG

Get the whole gang together at this delightful 100-acre working farm in the heart of Brecon Beacons National Park. Sleeping 15 people in eight bedrooms across two luxurious farm cottages and a rustic barn, this is the perfect accommodation option for large families or groups of friends in search of a retreat to call home while they explore the beautiful towns of Mid Wales together. During the day, spend happy hours discovering the charming village of Sennybridge; and in the evening, come home to take a dip in the farm''s wonderful 14-person swim spa.

Step inside the first cottage, and you''ll be greeted by a vibrant open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area. Head to the traditional-style kitchen area to whip up some dinner and gather everyone to eat at the large dining table. Afterwards, warm your toes by the inviting wood burner. At the end of the day, there are four lovely bedrooms - one accessible double bedroom (can be converted into twin beds) with an en-suite wet room on the ground floor, and three king-size bedrooms upstairs (two of which have additional double sofa beds) that are served by two en-suite shower rooms and an en-suite bathroom.

The second property is a beautifully-renovated barn. Step inside and you''ll find an open-plan lounge/dining area that seamlessly connects to a stylish kitchen. Take a moment to relax in the inviting lounge area, which boasts an exposed stone wall and wooden beams, before rustling up some dinner in the country-style kitchen. Enjoy a sociable dinner at the elegant oak dining table, or head out to the garden for an al fresco dinner. Upstairs you''ll find two delightful bedrooms - one double with exposed beams and a luxurious free-standing bath and one cosy single. A modern shower room completes the layout.

Step inside the third cottage and you''ll find a country-style open-plan lounge/dining area. Take a moment to admire the exposed stone walls and wooden beams before heading to the rustic kitchen area to cook up some dinner. Gather everyone to eat at the oak dining table, and when it''s time for bed, head upstairs and you''ll find two tranquil bedrooms - both with double beds under the eaves. A smart family bathroom completes the layout.

Get the whole gang for a day of adventure at the longest cave system in Wales - Dan-yr-Ogof Showcaves (6.5 miles). You''ll be awestruck by the towering caverns carved by rivers millions of years ago. Alternatively, unwind at Brecon Canal Basin (13 miles), where you can take a stroll and watch the colourful narrowboats bobbing gently on the water.

We were a large family group spaning four generation who've been holiday together for 10+ years. We've stayed in many different types of accommodations including castles and stately homes, but the Crai valley group of three houses have been the best equipped and supplied by far. Everybody was impressed by it. The open plan layout of the main house Read moreworks really well for socialising as well as quiet relaxing. The properties were very clean, comfortably furnished and spacious. The hosts, Heidi and her family, were always easy to find and extremely helpful and friendly. The unexpected tractor ride around the valley was a wonderful bonus. Would 100% recommend to others. Hide

We all had a wonderful holiday and our hosts were very accommodating. The area is so beautiful and although we were a party of mixed ages everyone was able to feel part of the holiday.

We all enjoyed the superior accommodation in a wonderful location. Lots of beautiful walks within easy reach. We all appreciated the time that the owners took to chat especially the farmers amongst us! We will be back for another stay.

We had 3 cottages and all I can say is that everything was excellent. Very well equipped, spotlessly clean and a great central location. The farmer even did an Easter egg hunt for the little ones.

The cottages we stayed in were well stocked with everything we needed, beautiful touches such as valentines sweeties for each of us. We had a great time and so nice to see a working farm where they were more than happy to come talk to us and we even helped deliver a lamb! Amazing weekend we will be back soon
