Sitting within the breathtaking countryside of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) is this spacious rural retreat for large families and groups of friends. The charming little town of Crickhowell is 6 miles away, and you’ll also be within easy reach of Brecon, Hay-on-Wye, and Abergavenny (all within 16 miles). In the evenings, gather at the pretty, undercover dining area by the stream for a dinner to remember. The stone barn conversion, set on a working farm, is full of original features and is decorated in calm, neutral tones. A large kitchen/diner with a tiled floor and exposed beams provides a memorable setting for dinner parties and special occasions, with a fully fitted kitchen, large table to seat everyone, and comfortable sofa overlooking the garden. After dinner, move into the cosy lounge, featuring a wood burner and underfloor heating. Relax here on the plump sofas to watch a film on the SkyTV. Two staircases lead upstairs, with the first taking you to a king-size bedroom with a Jack and Jill-style bathroom and a bunk bedroom. The second staircase leads to two double bedrooms and a stylish shower room. Outside, the enclosed garden provides a choice of areas for al fresco entertaining. Enjoy family BBQs on the sunny patio, challenge each other to a table tennis match, play games on the lawn, or gather at the undercover dining area for memorable mealtimes overlooking the water. There’s also a garden room where you can chill out with a book, watch the Smart TV/DVD, or play table football (this room doubles up as an additional sleeping area, with two pull-out beds). The historic town of Abergavenny is 11.5 miles away and is known for its wonderful selection of cafes and restaurants. It’s also a great place to pick up local produce for your supper, thanks to the regular markets. Walks from Abergavenny include the towpath of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal and Sugar Loaf Mountain. History enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to the atmospheric ruins of LLanthony Priory, 21 miles away, or for those interested in water sports, a trip to Llangorse Lake (9.5 miles) is a must.
