Property code: OC-BN124

This beautiful barn conversion, 3 miles from Crickhowell, enjoys a peaceful setting with uninterrupted views of the Black Mountains. The spacious property sleeps six guests and suits both groups of friends and large families. Enjoy day trips to the foodie town of Abergavenny (8 miles) or the literary hub of Hay-on-Wye (17.5 miles). The cottage is also perfectly placed for the popular Green Man Festival, which takes place every summer, just 2.5 miles away.

The bright and airy barn conversion seamlessly blends original features, such as exposed beams and stonework, with contemporary furniture and accessories. The sociable kitchen/diner is a lovely space to gather after a busy day, cooking a hearty meal in the stylish kitchen area and sharing family mealtimes around the wooden dining table. After dinner, make yourself comfortable on one of the leather sofas in the lounge to watch the TV/DVD or read a book in front of the wood burner. A bespoke, oak staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find three pretty bedrooms, all with charming oak beams and wooden floorboards. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite shower room, and there’s also a family bathroom on this level. To the rear of the property is a private courtyard with outdoor furniture, a BBQ, and spectacular views across the Usk Valley.

Crickhowell is a pretty town with independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The town is a magnet for walkers, with easy access to the Black Mountains and routes from the town along the River Usk, Beacon’s Way, or to the summit of Crug Hywel. The picturesque town of Hay-on-Wye makes a lovely day out, with its myriad of second-hand book shops, quaint tearooms and quirky boutiques. You can also hire canoes and paddleboards in the town to explore the area from the river.

The cottage is 1 of 3 on a farm. The single track in did have potholes. The house was comfortable, dining area tight for 4. An up-to-date info folder would have been useful, the current one is from covid days. The brambles/hedge had been left to get out of control and obstructed the view. A note to holiday cottages did get that partially sorted. ThRead moreere was rubbish in the corner of the yard. My comment to the owner & Holiday Cottages would be update the photos regularly. Hide

The cottage itself was lovely - comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, very clean. Clean ironing board and iron too! Contacts were helpful and friendly. The cottage was at the end of a long, single track farm track w/two gates to be opened/closed and potholes near the end, so be prepared.

Beautiful view, lovely comfortable cottage and owner very helpful with any issues. Great for a quiet and peaceful holiday and lots around to visit within about 30 min, such as Hay on Wye (Town of books), Raglan Castle and farm park, Abergavenny which also has a castle, Crickhowell, and Tretower Court and Castle. Would definitely recommend.
