Peacefully situated amidst beautiful, unspoilt countryside, the rural village of Llanafan Fawr is home to an old church and Powys' oldest pub, The Red Lion, which serves fine, traditional fare. Set in the slopes of the Llanafan Valley and within easy distance of the equally beautiful Wye Valley, the surrounding countryside is renowned for its walking and mountain biking opportunities, though it also provides an excellent backdrop for fishing and bird-watching along the Wye and Irfon rivers. Builth Wells is also within easy driving distance and this picturesque market town provides a variety of interesting crafts stores and many collectors' fairs.

. The hosts Rob and Liz have done an amazing job on the 3 Holiday letâs, You would not be disappointed if you booked any of these, Black Mountain View, was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and peaceful, It had everything we needed. We met their Dogs, Ted, Harper, Dilys, and Lottie, they are a credit to Rob and Liz so well-behaved, and not forgetting the pig Angus so cute. We will most certainly be back at some point.

Its a fantastic calm, relaxing, place to unwind, the sound of birds twittering, sheep bleating and the odd cow mooing definitely beats the sounds of cars, lorries and people coming past your house.

It is well placed for visiting many interesting areas and we enjoyed some wonderful walks, but the highlight for us was the view from the balcony, which was amazing. Thank you Rob and Liz for your warm welcome and friendliness. We definitely hope to return.
