  • Perfect for groups of friends, couples and family reunions
Property code: BN364

Enjoy the best of both worlds at this stylish holiday home, with the amenities of Crickhowell and walking, cycling, climbing, and mountain biking within the Welsh countryside all on your doorstep

Superb views reach over Crickhowell Castle and the Sugar Loaf Mountain from this eclectic, characterful home which was once a chapel. The peaks and troughs of the Brecon Beacons lie close to home so you can venture onto well-trodden tracks and trails and climb summits before getting competitive in the games room. With family and friends by your side, spend balmy evenings relaxing by the open fire in the courtyard which is enclosed by part of the Old Town Wall.

Country charm oozes from each room where exposed stonework and original beams complement the wooden furniture and natural yet rich tones. Sitting over three floors, the top floor is home to the heart of the house where the open-plan living space is waiting to be filled with chatter. Take a seat on one of the sofas and delve into a book from the shelf or fire up the wood burner for a snug night. Boasting spectacular views, treat your eyes as well as your tastebuds and tuck into a delicious feast at the large table whilst taking in the vista which reaches far and wide over mountains, rooftops and castles. Challenge each other in the games room before drifting off in one of five ground and first-floor bedrooms and waking to enjoy an al fresco morning coffee.

Steeped in character, the pretty local town of Crickhowell leads you to a plethora of trails and sits next to the River Usk where you can enjoy waterside wanders. For a rewarding climb, head from town towards The Sugar Loaf (6 miles), The Blorenge (9 miles), or Table Mountain where your efforts will be rewarded with panoramic views. For a day full of activities, travel to Llangorse Lake (10.5 miles), the largest natural lake in South Wales, where thrill-seekers can try their hand at new sports.

This was one of the best equipped properties we've ever stayed at. The central location in Crickhowell was perfect to use as a base for our long weekend in South Wales and the converted chapel made an ideal base for our group. Nine of us stayed there and three others were also able to join us to eat and socialise because of the wonderfully spaciousRead more open plan kitchen and living room on the top floor. We definitely hope to return, thank you. Hide

Westcombe House was perfect for our special family trip to attend a wedding nearby. The layout of the cottage is very good with the kitchen, diner and lounge on the top floor offering great communal space and fab views of the hills too! There is plenty to do in Crickhowell and the surrounding area, hiking to the Table Mountain is highly recommendedRead more. Tower Street is very narrow but luckily there are 2 private parking spaces outside the cottage. Very well equipped and plenty of fridge/freezer space Hide
