Dating back to 1832, this converted stone barn by the banks of the River Wye offers bags of traditional character, with an unexpected modern twist
This charming property, situated in the riverside village of Llyswen, is perfect for large families or groups of friends – including the four-legged family member, of course! Sleeping eight over four peaceful bedrooms, this wonderful holiday home is an opportunity to relax and unwind in your very own indoor hot tub. But your pup won’t let you rest until they’ve been able to sniff around and explore, so join the Wye Valley Walk less than 500 metres away for leisurely strolls. But if you’re looking for something more challenging, head into the Brecon Beacons National Park (17 miles) where there are plenty of routes for everyone.
The property, which boasts the perfect blend of the old and new, is spacious and comfortable. Warm your paws on the underfloor heating in the open-plan living area and curl up in front of the wood burner while watching your favourite show. A stunning farmhouse kitchen diner is perfect for meals spent planning the next day’s adventures, while beautiful exposed beams in the cosy bedrooms set the scene for a relaxing night’s sleep. Take full advantage of the spa room, where sumptuous natural-coloured tiles and calming lighting create a calming atmosphere for a soak in the hot tub with a glass of wine in hand.
Make sure you take a trip to the ‘Town of Books’, Hay-on-Wye (8 miles), where there are lots of dog-welcoming shops and cafes to keep you busy. The town of Brecon is just 9 miles away, and its stunning cathedral welcomes your canine companion to wander around with you. The National Showcaves Centre (29 miles) is a must-visit; just bring a jumper since it’s always 10 degrees Celsius in the caves! Nearby, the Old Railway Line Garden Centre (3 miles) offers plants, fresh produce and even pet care products so your pup can leave with a treat.
