Nestled within a farm in the Brecon Beacons National Park, this rural bolthole is the perfect place to recharge the batteries. With spectacular countryside and mountain views, this is an idyllic base for a family of four looking to explore the Welsh landscape, whether on foot or on an electric bike!

This former henhouse has been cleverly converted into a light and airy hideaway with a contemporary finish. Enter into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you’ll instantly feel the warmth from the underfloor heating in this spacious yet inviting room. Spend many happy hours here, whether reclining on the leather sofas, streaming a film on the Smart TV, or playing board games around the dining table. Cook up family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen space and serve up around the marvellous table, where bi-folding doors allow the mountain views to become your backdrop for the evening. Enjoy a great night’s sleep in the lovely super-king-size bedroom or the king-size, both with en-suites. Outside, the private enclosed garden is a beautiful spot to enjoy a few chapters of your novel.

Hire an electric bike from the property owners and take to the many trails and routes available from your doorstep. For the hikers of the party, head to the summits of Sugar Loaf and Skirrid, which can be seen from the property in all their majesty. Abergavenny is a 3-mile drive and provides an eclectic mix of shops, pubs and restaurants, with regular food festivals and markets to encounter. Take a trip to the Three Castles of Gwent, all within 10 miles of the accommodation and encompassing the medieval settlements of Grosmont, Skenfrith and White Castle.

I highly recommend The Old Henhouse. Lovely comfortable en suite accommodation with an enclosed garden that is safe for dogs. The house was lovely and warm inside on arrival. The beds are super comfortable and there is everything you need to enjoy your stay including a decent size smart TV. The Old Henhouse is very close to the town of Abergavenny Read moreand Grosmont is only a short drive away. My husband and I would love to stay at The Old Henhouse again in the future. Hide

The Henhouse Hideaway is quite a find and is totally worth the short drive up the narrow lane - the views are unbelievable. The Henhouse is spacious, super clean and has everything you will need for either a few days or longer. The outside garden is thoughtfully dog proof and a great place to enjoy the evening sun after a full day of adventures in Read morethe area of which there are endless options. The Sugarloaf Vineyard cafe is a must visit as is the walk up the Skirrid from the doorstep. Enjoy! Hide

The approach to this property is up a narrow lane with passing places. The accommodation is a stylish conversion and well equipped. The views are lovely; a very peaceful spot. There is an internal corridor to link both parts of the barn, we did not have neighbours when we were there so cannot comment on how this works.
