Retreat to this gorgeous, period house just inside the Brecon Beacons National Park. Up to six people are welcome to stay at the property that dates back to the 1500s and has an abundance of wonderful features. Located in Llanvihangel Crucorney, 5 miles from Abergavenny, the four-bedroom home from home also has a delightful English country garden. Plan long walks through undulating surroundings or play croquet on the lawn.
Prepare to be impressed by the magnificent panelling and exposed stone and woodwork at this exquisite house. Retreat to the study with your book, or the lounge, where you can stoke up the wood burner and watch a good film together on the Smart TV/DVD. Wander through to the inviting farmhouse-style kitchen/diner to pop a roast into the Aga or to prepare a hearty breakfast, and dine together at the large dining table. There is also a utility room and a WC on the ground floor. Make your way up to the first floor where three double bedrooms are situated. Two are separated by wooden panels; one has an extra day bed and the third, which can also be entered via stone steps, benefits from an en-suite shower room. There’s a fourth final room that has a small double bed that could suit a child if arranged in advance. A bathroom, with free standing clawfoot bath, and a shower room are also at this level. Spend time outside in the pretty garden; light the BBQ and find outdoor games in the stone coach house. There is parking for three cars at the house.
Head to the foodie town of Abergavenny, known as the Gateway to Wales to browse independent shops; dine out while you are here in cafes or Michelin starred restaurants serving fresh local produce. Visit the priory ruins at Llanthony, 6 miles away, and have a day out in Hay-on-Wye, 17.5 miles away, pottering in the famous book shops.
