Property code: OC-BN260

Nestled on the edge of the village of Clyro, in the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, find pure tranquillity in this former stable building surrounded by delightful mature gardens with shady trees to picnic under. Sleeping two guests, this is the ultimate romantic couples retreat for those looking to spend quality time together uncovering the natural beauty of the Brecon Beacons.

At the end of a long day, grab your local produce and head into the kitchen to rustle up a romantic meal to be enjoyed before bedtime or at tomorrow’s picnic. As the evening draws in, unwind on the comfy sofa in the adjoining light and bright lounge/diner before enjoying a glass of something chilled seated around the dining table, perfectly placed for the best views through the picture window. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, retire to the lovingly furnished en-suite king-size bedroom; crisp white linens and wonderful views of the Black Mountains ensure a peaceful slumber. Outside, unwind to the sound of birdsong beneath the canopy of mature trees in the lawned garden with views of the Black Mountains.

The picturesque village of Clyro is not completely secluded, the market town of Hay-on-Wye, with its local quirky shops, world-famous bookshops and farmers market is 3 miles away. The traffic-free Wye Valley Walk and Offa’s Dyke Walk both run through Hay-on-Wye. Ramble along the banks of the River Wye or skim stones watching canoeists paddle the gentle rapids of the river beach The Warren 3.5 miles away. Discover the stunning scenery of the Brecon Beacons on foot by conquering the peaks of Pen y Fan (26 miles) and The Skirrid (23 miles). Explore the ancient city of Hereford (23 miles) with its imposing cathedral, castle ruins and cider museum.

Our second visit to this property. Ideally located for exploring Wales. The countryside is stunning with plenty of walks. Our favourite bonus of this property is the variety of birds that visit the well stocked feeders which can be viewed while sitting at the dining table. The property is ideal for 2, plenty of room.

Bit difficult to find as the instructions were to go for over a mile when actually it is less than half a mile from the track. The parking is a bit tight to turn around in a swell.

The school where you turn to go up to the property is not very visible from the main road and a better reference point would be the garage on the opposite side.
