Welcoming up to 22 guests, this expansive farmhouse in the heart of Brecon Beacons National Park promises an unforgettable family holiday or a reunion with friends. Spend the day exploring the surrounding countryside, then return home to enjoy wonderful original features, crackling wood burners, a games room and the far-reaching rural views on offer at this warm and welcoming cottage.

Dating back to 1620, the property exudes charm and character, boasting exposed stone walls and oak beams throughout. The large, open-plan kitchen is a culinary haven, with a range-style oven and a slate-topped island, inviting guests to cook special meals together. Gather around the super-sized dining room table, comfortably seating all guests, then retreat to the inviting beamed lounge, featuring an inglenook fireplace and wood burner, perfect for cosy evenings in. Alternatively, venture into the converted barn, offering a second lounge/diner, an additional kitchen, and a conservatory where you can unwind and soak in the views. When it's time to retire for the night, nine bedrooms await, with five located in the farmhouse – a family room with a king-size bed and a single plus a cot, a double plus single, a double, a twin with single beds, and a room with three single beds. In the barn, you'll find two double bedrooms, a twin with single beds, and a room with four single beds. Outside, a BBQ and outdoor seating allow you to dine alfresco while soaking in the valley views. Younger guests will delight in the play area, while the games room offers endless entertainment.

Located at the upper end of the Swansea Valley, 3 miles from the charming village shops and pubs of Sennybridge and Defynnog, admire fabulous views of the wooded river valley and surrounding hills with endless opportunities for walking and mountain biking right from your doorstep. Embark on adventures to explore the beautiful Heol Senni Valley, conquer the majestic Pen-y-Fan (6 miles), or discover the rugged beauty of the Black Mountain (10 miles).
