A perfect rural and romantic Welsh retreat in the rolling hills, this magnificent cottage has stunning 360 views of the Usk Valley and Brecon Beacons.

Sink into relaxation with a stay in this perfect romantic bolthole, a wonderful space for two to make memories together. Whether you’re soaking up the stunning vistas that surround the property or enjoying one of the luxury treatments available via the owner, you’re certain to leave this accommodation feeling fully rested and recharged. Set off from your doorstep to admire the Usk Valley by foot or on two wheels or take a short car journey to Brecon (5 miles) or Hay-on-Wye (15 miles) to spend an afternoon browsing independent shops or sampling local ales in welcoming pubs.

Offering an abundance of space for two to unwind, this converted barn property certainly won’t leave you feeling hemmed in or on top of each other throughout your stay. Step into the conservatory-style living space with windows all around and cushy sofas to sink into. Here you can sit with a good book, admire dark skies late into the night or simply switch on the TV to stream something entertaining. Venture back through the well-equipped kitchen/diner to access a cosy double bedroom, complete with a handy en-suite and walk-in shower. Finally, a generous allowance of outdoor space is complete with a duck pond, dining set and BBQ, a delightful addition for summer stays.

Surrounded by rolling green hills, fantastic rivers and woodlands to explore, this rural location is truly unbeatable for those who wish to explore the Welsh countryside. Admire far-reaching Powys scenery from atop Pen y Crug (5.5 miles) or spot native Brecon wildlife with a walk around Llangorse Lake (10.5 miles). From here you’re well located to hike the challenging peaks of the Black Mountains region. Discover Waun Fach or the Sugar Loaf mountain within 30 miles of this holiday home.
