This homely barn conversion nestled deep in the Brecon Beacons makes a wonderful location for walkers, mountain bikers and canoeists. With walks beginning from the doorstep, stunning views of the nearby Black Mountains and a stone’s throw from Hay-on-Wye, this is the perfect spot for families and groups of friends to enjoy a delightful escape to the country.

Retaining original features, including traditional stonework and exposed beams, and fabulous views towards the Black Mountains, the cosy lounge/diner boasts a true warmth that invites you to spend quality time with loved ones sharing stories of the day’s adventure seated around the dining table or on the sofas. Rustle up a feast to feed the crowd in the contemporary kitchen, with plenty of space for you to get creative with your delicious local produce. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, you have an en-suite double bedroom on the ground floor, plus an en-suite double and three en-suite twin bedrooms upstairs to retire to for a peaceful slumber. Outside, take in the glorious rural views from the comfort of the picnic bench in the shared garden as children explore the play area and lawn.

This tranquil location in the Brecon Beacons is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with a plethora of waymarked paths from the doorstep, including access to the Wye Valley Walk. This is a fantastic area for water sports; skim stones watching canoeists paddle the gentle rapids of the river beach The Warren (6.5 miles) or hire a rowing boat, kayak or pedalo at Llangorse Lake 10 miles away. Explore Hay-on-Wye 7 miles away, boasting an abundance of new and second-hand bookshops, a plethora of quirky local shops, café and restaurants as well as some wonderful scenery from its unique position on the border between England and Wales.

This place is ideal for a large group of adults. We were 5 couples and the 5 double rooms worked well for us. The lounge was large enough for the group, it had loads of parking space and the kitchen had everything we needed. The extra 'beer fridge' was very useful too. ;-)

The cottage is well equipped and very clean. The garden is ideal for small children and the space inside works well for either a large family or multiple generations. We found it difficult to find suitable places to eat for children 12 and there wasnt much to do for young families in the area.
