Great Escape Farm
First you'll be captivated by the views, miles of rolling countryside stretches out ahead of you. Wild horses and mountain sheep lazily cross your path as you drive into the National Park from Hay on Wye.
Then you'll fall in love with the house... elegantly nestled into the hillside with magnificent views of the Black Mountains this is a spectacular location for a luxury holiday cottage. With stunning views from your breakfast table and the hot tub, lazy lunches on the terrace surveying the area are a must!
The cottage is wonderfully remote and rural, yet just ten minutes to the lovely town of Hay on Wye, famous for it's international festival of literature and numerous bookshops and independent shops, this is the ultimate antidote to busy modern life.
Great Escape Farm comes with two properties, both restored with every luxury in mind. There is the main farmhouse, with three lovely double bedrooms sleeping six and a self contained barn, with a further two double bedrooms, sleeping four.
In the main house there is a fabulous wooden kitchen with granite worktops, an Aga and large breakfast area with an electric oven and hob built in so you can flip pancakes straight on to the plate!
For more formal meals step through into the open plan dining and living room with a lovely oak table, open fire and cosy leather armchairs making it perfect for relaxing. You will also find a large flatscreen television and surround sound cinema system built in too.
Across the courtyard the barn is flooded with light from the enormous oak windows which give you the most magnificent views of the Black Mountains. You'll find a luxury open plan oak kitchen, dining room, wood burner and more cosy leather sofas.
There are luxurious roll top baths and walk in showers in both the barn and main house, as well as large double beds in each of the five bedrooms.
Not forgetting to mention - the best positioned hot tub we've seen to date!

- SLEEPING 6 - 10: Five luxury double bedrooms in total. Three large double bedrooms in the main house, all with lots of storage and cosy duvets. Two large double bedrooms in the barn with large brass beds, no outside noise apart from the occasional sheep bleeting and a chorus of bird song!
- COOKING: Spoilt for choice! The main house has a very well equipped kitchen with AGA, electric oven and hob, flat screen television and breakfast bar. The barn has an open plan kitchen with lovely oak units and an electric oven and hob. ps: if you would like to use the Aga when you rent the house, please let us know, as there is an additional £80 fuel excess for a 7 night stay and £40 for 3/4 nights.
- DINING: Lots of choice again: relaxed in the kitchen of the main house, or walk through into a lovely dining room with open fire. Or in the barn with spectacular views across the mountains.

- KEEPING CLEAN: Luxurious bathrooms in the main house and barn, both with walk in showers and roll top baths. Upstairs loo and basin in the barn as well. Self contained laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer, perfect for stashing muddy boots.
- HOT TUB: Not everybody wants to bathe in the great outdoors, so there is an additional charge of £135 per week/ £95 for a short break, for the hot tub if you would like to use it. This covers it being cleaned before and after your stay, with new filters and keeping it bubbly and hot whilst you are there.
- WALKING: Fantastic walks in the surrounding Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons National Park are straight from the door, you will be spoilt for choice.
- MOUNTAIN BIKES: The stunning walks surrounding you are also fabulous mountain bike rides, with a route for every level. Bikes can be hired (and delivered!) from nearby Hay on Wye.
- RIDING: Check out our THINGS TO DO PAGES for local pony trekking centres or bring your own horses and explore the stunning trails.
- SOMETHING DIFFERENT: For the more adventurous the list is endless with rock climbing, abseiling, gorge walking, rafting, canoeing, archery, caving and pot holing etc.
- SOMETHING MORE SEDATE: Thankfully there are plenty of options for quieter days, such as exploring nearby Hay on Wye, famous for its annual Hay Festival of Literature and its countless bookshops, eateries and very local stores. The Cathedral town of Hereford is also 25 miles away.
- TOP TIP: The River Cafe in Glasbury is our favourite local spot for delicious authentic Italian food and the best latte for miles around. Just a short drive down the hill. You can pick up the morning paper in the garage next door too.
