Filled with cosy nooks and endearing features, this cottage invites guests to get back to nature throughout a stay on the scenic England-Wales border. Within easy reach of Hay-on-Wye (8 miles) and just 2 miles from the famed Offa’s Dyke long-distance pathway, both culture and outdoor activity are assured throughout your time spent here. With traditional features and romantic textures throughout, this converted stable overlooks a kitchen garden with fresh produce that you’re welcome to use in your kitchen. The accommodation is also fuelled by a state-of-the-art wood chip boiler that guests are welcome to learn more about via tours booked by the owner.
Despite its eco credentials, luxury and comfort are still prioritised across this splendid two-storey property. Whilst maintaining a farmhouse aesthetic in the open-plan living space, the kitchen is equipped with a wine cooler and a Nespresso coffee machine for your use and the lounge offers a Smart TV for nights filled with relaxation. You can dine either at the table or out on the patio. When the sun goes down, a fire pit out here will keep you toasty. Back inside, head upstairs to the king-size bedroom where fluffy robes await. There’s an en-suite bathroom just off here, equipped with both a bath and a separate rainfall shower.
At the edge of the Brecon Beacons, Hay-on-Wye is an obvious choice for a day out with its historic bookshops, vibrant literary culture and places to eat and drink. Spend time moseying around the town or park up the car to embrace walks and bike rides in the neighbouring National Park. Heading off in the other direction, visit Knighton (14 miles) which sits at the lower edge of the Shropshire Hills AONB, another fabulous hot spot filled with wide stretches of scenery to explore.
