A stylish studio-style property set within the spacious grounds of the owner’s home, a great base for exploring the traditional towns and villages of the Brecon Beacons National Park, whatever time of the year.

On the outskirts of the Brecon Beacons National Park sits this romantic bolthole, perfect for quick getaways and a brilliant home for adventurers. Arrive and snuggle down in style for a cosy evening in before the explorer inside you gets ready and raring to go. Surrounded by lovely villages, wonderful walks and plenty of places to hunt down, pack up a yummy picnic and head out into the great outdoors.

 

Cleverly designed to maximise space, the open-plan living space in this snug home welcomes you to make it your own throughout your stay. Throw off your jackets and coats and put your feet up on the sofa in front of the Smart TV. Rustle up treats in the sleek kitchen space and eye up the nespresso coffee machine which will help you to wake up in the morning. Should the sun shine and the evenings be mild, step outside and spend time watching the last of the sun’s rays fade as you dine alfresco. A BBQ means you can sizzle up tasty treats before sneaking back inside to freshen up in the shower and relax. Kick start the day with a dip in the hot tub and fill your lungs with fresh air.

 

If you can escape this cosy home, then don your trainers or walking boots and step out onto one of many well-trodden footpaths which run close by. Wander down to the canal and watch the ebb and flow as the boats make their way along or take a stroll along the canal to the local pub.  Visit the foodie town of Abergavenny, the Gateway to Wales, with it's local market, shops, castle and many varied eateries. Just 6.5 miles from your door lies the Blaenavon World Heritage Site. Visit the Big Pit National Coal Museum here and take a tour of the mine to uncover incredible history.

Great high quality accommodation (just for two) in the grounds of the owners house, private and secluded and very quiet - a really great base to explore locally and the Brecon Beacons NP at large. Jacuzzi is a very welcome treat for aching legs after a good days walking or to get going in the morning. Local recommended trips, apart from hillwalkingRead more are a visit to the Blaenavon Big Pit (great underground tour) and a wild swim in keepers pond only a few miles away. Hide
