  • 17th century detached farmhouse set in a rural location at the top of a picturesque valley

  • Perfect for family holidays with a wealth of walking and cycling trails from the door
Property code: 88014

Enjoying a rural location with far-reaching views across the valley, this spacious farmhouse is great for families and groups that want to get together and make the most of the outdoors.

A quintessential Welsh farmhouse in the Brecon Beacons with room enough for eight people in four bedrooms, this property will provide an ideal backdrop to get away from it all. It’s a real home-from-home with lots of charm and character thanks to exposed wooden beams and cosy finishing touches. The peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside is calming at any time of year, with plenty to do when you do leave the grounds. A warming wood burner will be waiting for you upon your return.

The farmhouse’s charm starts from the moment you arrive - you’ll find it set behind a traditional stone wall in the garden with the front door then leading to the porch. The porch is a great spot to stow away any muddy gear after a day out exploring. From there, you can then enter the property properly, where you will find it still has its original slate flagstones. The lounge is great for getting together with the rest of your group, thanks to being home to a wood burner, a TV and several board games or books. The downstairs is also home to the large kitchen and dining area, with the kitchen having everything you should need to rustle up meals, plus a coffee machine for your morning caffeine hit. The table has enough space for all to join in at mealtimes, with the shape being a sociable square so that everyone can talk to everyone. There is a twin bedroom on the ground floor plus a shower room. Up on the next floor are the final three bedrooms. They all have king-size beds and have use of the family bathroom. With beamed ceilings, they continue the property’s charm. The property’s garden is another fantastic space for guests. It has space for eating outdoors in addition to a BBQ. There’s plenty of different spots to sit, so you can find various locations to take in the expansive Welsh countryside beyond the home’s wall.

Of course, if you are feeling adventurous, there’s always Sugar Loaf (8 miles), Blorenge (5.5 miles), the Black Mountains (19 miles) and Pen Y Fan (32 miles).

We had a wonderful week in the cottage. The location when the sun was out was stunning and we might revisit in the summer. The cottage is done to a very high standard, lovely kitchen and comfortable lounge. Plenty of room for everyone, we were a family of 7 with 3 dogs and did not feel cramped. The bedrooms are also very comfortable. The only downsRead moreide the access is down a very long track and at times the potholes were difficult to miss, but well worth the effort. Hide

The location was perfect and lovely for our children and dogs. The cottage was so comfortable and clean and the beds were the comfiest we have stayed in. Only down side was the lack of hot water.

A lovely quiet, rural location with beautiful views, at the end of a long lane!. The cottage is very comfortable for a family or group of friends who like walking, cycling and exploring the Brecon area. We stayed for a family wedding at Three Pools Farm - a lovely place too.
