Discover the perfect countryside retreat at this charming stone cottage, nestled within a working farm and surrounded by breathtaking valley views. Ideal for families and groups of friends, this spacious haven offers direct access to some of the most stunning landscapes in the region. Just a mile from the picturesque village of Painscastle and its welcoming local inn, this retreat places you at the heart of adventure. Explore the rolling hills of the Begwns (3 miles), 580 acres of unspoiled National Trust land boasting panoramic views of the Brecon Beacons National Park. For thrill-seekers, the Brecon Beacons (7 miles) and the River Wye offer exhilarating outdoor activities, from canoeing and gorge walking to high-rope courses. And just 6 miles away, the literary town of Hay-on-Wye invites you to browse its famous bookshops, visit its vibrant markets, or catch an indie film at The Globe at Hay.
Upon arrival at the farm, you'll enjoy breathtaking valley views before entering the retreat through French doors into a welcoming lobby. Kick off your boots and step into the heart of the cottage: a spacious kitchen/diner, designed for entertaining, complete with an open-plan kitchen, a crackling wood burner, and a large dining table that seats up to eight guests, all set against the backdrop of the valley. At the rear of the cottage, a small set of steps leads to a shower room, a double bedroom, and a large twin bedroom that includes a daybed for extra relaxation, and also features an en-suite bathroom with a handheld shower. Upstairs, the large lounge invites guests to unwind on comfortable sofas in front of the TV, or retreat to a cosy nook perfect for board games or enjoying a good book. This floor also includes a double bedroom, a twin room with a vanity sink, and a bathroom with a shower over the bath.
Outside, soak up the fresh country air as you fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco with stunning views all around. Wander through the surrounding woodlands, enjoy a morning coffee in the garden, or set off on a scenic hike straight from your doorstep. Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, this countryside retreat offers an unforgettable escape into nature. Private on site parking.
