This secluded farmhouse and barn is situated up lane on the edge of Brecon Beacon National Park. The place is 1,000ft above sea level with panoramic across the Wye valley, location. A perfect setting for a family holiday or celebration, quiet retreat and a base for some wonderful walks. If you're all walked out or the weather has turned then Hay-on-Wye, famed for it's book shops and relaxed atmosphere is only 3.5 miles away.
Offering a peaceful getaway this 18th Century farmhouse and barn are full of rustic charm with exposed beams, sloping ceilings and log burners.
Farmhouse - The cottage offers a small, yet cosy living room with smart TV and log burner for winter nights. The kitchen has a traditional, pine table for x 6, creating a cosy space for family to gather for food or board games.
Upstairs, you'll find x 1 King sized bedroom, x 1 single x 1 standard double and x 1 twin room (2'-6" beds). These can be pushed together to create a double. (Please note, the twin room is accessed via a ladder).
Barn - The barn has great character and, although a stone's throw from the cottage, it offers some space from the rest of the group, whether for teenagers or a couple. It has it's own bijou kitchen, log burner, seating area and bathroom.
Outside - There is 1/2 acre of enclosed wild garden with many mature plants attracting an abundance of nature. Many birds can be heard and spotted, if you have a keen eye and do look out for the hare. The views are spectacular from up here and can be viewed from the picnic tables. The clear skies are perfect for star gazing.
Surrounding Area - If you want to explore the area, there are some wonderful historic villages to visit such as the black and white village of Weobley, Grosmont with it's castle, etc. Hereford is the nearest city, which has an impressive cathedral, dating back over a thousand years. It's most famous treasure is the Mappa Mundi, a world map created in 1300 and not looking quite as we know it now!
Plenty of walks on the doorstep in both the Black Mountains and the Breacon Beacons with Offa's Dyke path, traditionally dividing Wales and England, nearby. The River Wye provides opportunities for swimming, kayaking and canoeing; boating and there's windsurfing at Llangorse Lake. Horse riding/pony trekking is on offer at a number of riding centres. And for those feeling adventurous, you can take in a birds eye view of the area by visiting The Black Mountains Gliding Club near Talgarth, Shobden Airfield for a flight in a microlight or Hay Bluff for more extreme parascending.
