Surrounded by breathtaking countryside, this stunning reverse-level retreat provides elegant, fresh and spacious accommodation for larger families and groups of friends. Imaginatively converted from an old coach-house, the property has been sympathetically updated to make a lovely holiday retreat for nine guests discovering the magnificent northeastern edge of the magical Brecon Beacons National Park. Featuring an eye-catching central wood burner, rich timber beams and a characterful balcony overlooking a picturesque garden, this delightful hideaway is an ideal bolthole for walkers, climbers, cyclists, hikers and nature lovers.

Approached via a cobbled path, this traditional property is full of character, with a welcoming farmhouse-style kitchen/diner with ample equipment and a handsome dining table perfect for family get-togethers. Upstairs, the gorgeous lounge features a lovely central wood burner, with a Smart TV, plush furnishings and a beamed vaulted ceiling. At one end, a balcony overlooks the garden offering incredible views. A short flight of stairs leads to a charming en-suite king-size bedroom with wooden beams in the low vaulted ceiling. The remaining bedrooms are back on the ground floor: a single, a children’s bunk bedroom, and two twin bedrooms. The ground floor also has an invigorating shower room. Outside, the beautiful garden is fully enclosed, with a large lawn, a raised pond and a peaceful patio, making an ideal spot for a BBQ and taking in the magnificent surrounding countryside. Private parking is available for two cars – an additional space can be arranged on request.

Llangorse Lake (2.5 miles) is a great base for a wide range of activities, including canoeing, walking and sailing. Popular attractions along the central portion of the Brecon Beacons include Dinas Castle, Tretower Castle and Clydach Gorge, all within 15 miles. Both Brecon (10 miles) and Abergavenny (14 miles) have plenty of fantastic pubs, shops, cafes and restaurants.

We had a great time in the cottage. The large open kitchen and living room were fantastic communal and social spaces. The fire was great even in June! For the price this cottage delivers most things you would want.

The Old Coach House is a charming, rustic country property in a fantastic location. The garden and living room are the highlights, and the surrounding Brecon Beacons are a beautiful area to explore. The open fire in the centre of the living room creates a cosy and unique atmosphere, and the kitchen is very well equipped with a wide range of applianRead moreces. There were, unfortunately, several issues during our stay. Most of these should be relatively straightforward to address and, with a little TLC, the property could be a really special holiday home. There were several cleanliness issues. These were mainly in less visible areas (behind doors, under beds, and above eye level), but the level of dust and cobwebs suggested the property had not been deeply cleaned for some time. There was a noticeable musty smell in cupboards, appliances and rooms, and we found black mould on the underside of a bathmat. The property has a number of quirks, which can be expected in an older building, but it would have been helpful to have these outlined clearly in advance: There is no recycling provision at the property. Guests are required to take recycling away with them. There was no dish cloth provided for cleaning dishes or surfaces. The cooker grill cannot be used for extended periods without causing issues. The heating system is older and the pipes make frequent, loud noises, which did affect sleep. Contacting the owner was difficult. Communication had to go through the booking platform, which led to some confusion, and direct contact details were not initially provided. Overall, this is a property with a lot of character and potential in a beautiful setting. With clearer communication and some attention to maintenance and cleaning, it could offer a much stronger guest experience. Hide

Was a lovely cottage with lovely scenery. Really close to the lake which we fished. The fire pit and BBQ were a perfect addition and the supply of logs was great Thank you.
