Property code: BN091

 Part of a delightful smallholding situated in a picturesque spot, this peaceful barn conversion makes a relaxing holiday home for a couple discovering the wonderful Brecon Beacons National Park.

Stunning gardens surround this cute and characterful cottage, close to Brecon and perfectly situated for exploring the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. With its tucked-away attic bedroom and cosy wood burner, it’s an ideal escape for a solo traveller or a couple looking to really get away from it all.

Relax and recharge in this tranquil converted barn, a delightful choice for a Welsh escape. In its open-plan living space a wood burner is the focal point, inviting you in and offering a warming glow on cooler evenings. After cooking in the well-planned kitchen area, you can dine at the small wooden table and then relax on the comfortable seating, perhaps enjoying a book from the shelves or switching on the TV. On this level there’s also a utility room and a shower room. When you’re feeling tired, the double bedroom is up the steep, paddle stairs – a sweet and homely space with skylights and exposed beams decorating its very low, sloping ceiling. For a relaxed morning cuppa, a sundowner or a full-on al fresco dining experience, the enclosed, private courtyard is just the spot, with pretty planting and a BBQ on which you can grill tasty treats. The wider garden area has a sloping lawn and a second patio with outdoor furniture, as well as grassy tracks which lead through meadows and down to a little stream.

Set on a smallholding, the cottage is located in a secluded position just outside the peaceful village of Lower Chapel and 1.5 miles from a welcoming pub in Pwllgloyw that serves great food. There’s a golf course 4 miles away, and the vibrant market town of Brecon is just 5 miles. Here you’ll find scenic canal-side walks, a variety of interesting shops, a choice of places to eat and a magnificent cathedral.

A great cottage with a character in a most stunning nature surrounding. The hosts are most welcoming and non-intrusive, but will most gladly talk to you and point you to some local hiking trails.

We had a wonderful stay here! Our hosts were extremely welcoming and generous, and we were very cosy and comfortable in the cottage. The garden area is beautiful and full of character. Great location too for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Thank you both!
