  • Wonderful location for walkers, climbers, literary fans and historians
  • Situated in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park with many walks straight from the door
  • Characterful and romantic retreat for two surrounded by spectacular vistas
Property code: BN111

Full of character, this quirky one-bedroom apartment boasts some truly magnificent views. Star gaze by night, dine alfresco on the balcony or head off to tackle the summit of Pen y Fan.

This romantic retreat in the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) offers a tranquil escape for couples, surrounded by beautiful walks and breathtaking scenery. The well-trodden summits of Pen y Fan, Corn Du, and Fan Fawr are all within 10 miles, and you’ll find gentler routes along nearby rivers and canals. You’ll have plenty of choice when it comes to eating out, with the vibrant market towns of Brecon, Abergavenny, and Hay-on-Wye all within a 20-mile radius.

The top-floor apartment is set within an elegant country home, and has a private entrance reached via external stairs. Inside, you’ll find a colourful and quirky abode, with vibrant paintwork, statement wallpaper, and fun accessories. The cosy lounge has two sumptuous sofas and enjoys views across Bannau Brycheiniog. Relax here, watching the TV and warming your toes by the wood burner-effect electric fire. The kitchen/diner has everything you need to create tasty dishes for two, to share together at the dining table. When day turns to night, retire to the elegant king-size bedroom, which, again, boasts magnificent mountain views. A stylish bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, dine alfresco on the balcony or soak up the sun on the shared front lawn.

Journey into the Georgian town of Brecon (5 miles) to explore its wonderful selection of independent shops and eateries. After a spot of retail therapy, take a stroll along the pretty towpath of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal or perhaps stride out along the Taff Trail, which starts in the town. The Theatr Brycheiniog hosts some fascinating events and performances throughout the year – be sure to check the calendar so see what’s on during your stay. Hay-on-Wye (18.5 miles) also makes a delightful day out, with its cute cafes, art galleries, boutiques and, of course, multiple book shops.

The Top floor of Cantref House made for a very comfortable two weeks holiday. We felt right at home. We had great weather so made good use of the balcony but if it was a little windy the kitchen was a nice sunny place also. Sadly we were never awake late enough to use the telescope. The location was very quiet, lots of bird song and a cheerful CockRead moreerell! Plenty of walking nearby and from the doorstep. I would definitely recommend staying here. The welcome basket is by far the best we've had. Hide

The property was lovely and in the most beautiful location. Mrs Jenkins was so nice and had left all sorts of little extra touches that really made the difference (home made bread and welsh cakes and fresh flowers from the garden) You can walk out to the hills from the door should you wish (be fit enough and have the required gear) but there are soRead more many places to walk within easy driving distance you will be spoilt for choice. Would highly recommend if you want a peaceful getaway holiday. Hide

Lovely welcome from Sheila and Peter. Accommodation was extremely well equipped. It was so relaxing sitting outside with a cup of tea watching a real variety of bird including a greater spotted woodpecker and a Kite ! The walking from the accommodation was well marked and relatively easy - a mixture of fields., bridleways out onto open hillsides orRead more joining the Brecon canal. A couple of harder walks within easy access including Pen y Far. Great accommodation and lovely area. See you again. Hide
