Overview
Property code: BN423

This former barn is surrounded by stunning countryside and has plenty to amuse guests of all ages, including a well-stocked games area and a hot tub for unwinding in style.

Its superb location close to the peaks and lakes of the Brecon Beacons National Park, makes this beautiful barn conversion a wonderful holiday destination for lovers of the great outdoors. Sleeping 14 guests over six bedrooms, enjoy family reunions or getaways with friends and spend days exploring before returning home to soak in the hot tub or compete at table football. With plenty of space for everyone to relax and put their feet up, spend cosy afternoons in front of the wood burner before livening things up and enjoying al fresco nights by the fire pit after delicious BBQ feasts.

Arrive at this gorgeous abode and leave boots and coats in the handy drying room before making your way into the heart of the home. When it’s time to feed hungry mouths, cook up a storm in the spacious kitchen where there is room for more than one designated chef to rustle up a delicious feast. Chop, slice and dice the evening away in this sociable space where fellow family members and friends can keep you company with a glass of something cold in hand. Plate up at the large dining table which shares the kitchen space and tuck in for a sociable, communal dinner. Fire up the BBQ and take your night outside to lap up the last of the sun. The bubbling hot tub is a welcome treat after days spent hiking off the beaten track and summitting peaks, soak away the aches and pains in the bubbles. Unwind some more in the inviting lounge where a large sofa has all the room you need to get comfortable in front of the TV and wood burner. When it’s time to turn in for the night, make your way to one of six welcoming bedrooms. A king-size bedroom with en-suite resides on the ground floor so you can sneak off to bed quietly, whilst the remaining five bedrooms are located up a flight of stairs. The family room with two double beds is perfect for those with children who enjoy a story or two before bed. There is ample off-road parking.

Highly recommend this beautiful barn for large groups. We were a group of twelve and found the barn very spacious and comfortable. It was very well equipped. Our group included older children and teenagers so the games room proved a huge hit with all. We all enjoyed the hot tub too.
