Originally an 18th-century farmhouse, this stylish holiday home for friends or family seamlessly blends the traditional with the contemporary and is perfectly situated for exploring the Brecon Beacons National Park. Enjoy far-reaching rural views, a roaring wood burner in the cosy lounge and a large garden set against a backdrop of fields and mountains when staying at this inviting home away from home.

Inside, rich parquet flooring and cosy rugs in the lounge invite you to sink into the sofas in front of the wood burner while enjoying a show on the TV. The bright and airy kitchen/diner offers fantastic views from the window and everything you need to gather around the large dining table and enjoy meals together. A utility room is perfect for storing muddy boots after a day of walking, and there's also a separate cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll find three large bedrooms: a tranquil double bedroom with a spacious walk-in wardrobe, a beautiful king-size bedroom with the best views in the house, and a third room with three single beds, making it ideal for children. This level also includes a separate shower room and a family bathroom. Outside, the large garden boasts a spacious lawn and a sheltered terrace with garden furniture, offering stunning views of Carmarthen Fan in the west and the Black Mountains in the east. Enjoy an al fresco meal with the BBQ as you watch the sunset behind the mountains. There is a lockable barn next to the property for secure bicycle storage.

A beautiful farmhouse in an extraordinary location. Comfortable, generous accommodation with some excellent cafes and shops both locally and further afield. Very lovely garden, endearing cow and calf neighbours and eight star scenery.

The farmhouse has stupendous views over the Brecons, with perfect places to sit outside and enjoy them. The house is ideal for larger families or groups and is perfectly set up for guests. I can't think of a holiday home that has truly considered all the needs of people coming to stay there. Fresh flowers dotted the rooms, plentiful tea and coffee,Read more sufficient cleaning products and kitchen essentials, all make the house welcoming and practical. Hide

This is a super, spacious cottage with views that were quite breath taking. The cottage was extremely well equipped and comfortable and the owner has tried to think of everything that might be needed from laundry sundries to a hair drier and bath gel.

Very spacious and comfortable accommodation. It is a little bit old-fashioned, so could possibly do with a bit of modernisation.

Extremely comfortable cottage, the owner was really kind and enquired to make sure we were okay. The beds were comfy (which to me is always an essential) there was plenty of hot water, two baths and two showers. There was a great view over fields where we watched the cows and calves everyday. It has a lovely garden to sit out in with a bbq and parkRead moreing for three cars easily. Thoroughly recommend. Hide
