Nestled in the Brecon Beacons National Park, this beautifully presented former barn provides a welcoming group retreat in the countryside with its contemporary finishes, open-plan living space and spacious private garden.

Enter the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where the double-height ceiling enhances the spacious feel of this impressive room, and under-floor heating keeps you toasty warm. Two leather sofas and a reclaimed coffee table provide a cosy spot to play games or relax while watching the Smart TV. The stylish and well-equipped kitchen has everything you need for culinary creativity, and there’s a dining area with doors leading outside. At the end of the day, three bedrooms await—a master king-size with an en-suite wet room, another king-size with an en-suite shower room, and a super-king-size bedroom (convertible to a twin upon request) with an en-suite bathroom. Outside, the spacious private enclosed garden features a patio area with furniture and a well-maintained lawn backed by mature trees and lush countryside.

The barn is surrounded by country and mountain walks against the impressive backdrops of the Sugar Loaf and Skirrid. 3 miles away, the historic town of Abergavenny awaits with its diverse array of shops, pubs, and restaurants, hosting regular food festivals and markets. Embark on interesting excursions to Blaenavon Iron Works (12.5 miles) and Big Pit (13 miles). Nearby attractions include galleries, museums, and historic castles, or engage in outdoor activities such as riding, golfing, and kayaking. For a literary adventure, visit Hay on Wye, the renowned town of books, 18.5 miles from home.

We had a fantastic stay even though the weather wasn't kind until the last day! It definitely didn't dampen our holiday. A beautiful place to stay and plenty of room and well equipped, definitely felt like a retreat from the hustle and bustle. We do love Wales.

A lovely cottage with many superb walks from the door. Three en-suite bedrooms - one ensuite was very small but the master bedroom with walk in wet room was superb and our host provided both shower and toilet seats for use by a disabled member of our group. All in all an excellent home from home to enjoy Abergavenny & surrounding areas - don't missRead more the monthly street food market if you are there the right week Hide
