The honey-toned hues of exposed timbers combine with skilfully retained Welsh stone walls to deliver a warm welcome at this converted farm building. Perfect for three guests and 2 doggie companions, it features a romantic master bedroom complete with its own roll-top bath.
Traditional country styling is updated with dashes of contemporary chic at this award-winning holiday cottage, one of four on a 100-acre working farm. Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming living room where you can curl up on a comfortable sofa, unwind with a movie or tuck into a tasty home-cooked meal – the hand-made oak kitchen is sure to inspire even the most reluctant of chefs. There’s plenty of floor space for the pup to stretch out and stay close, however you spend your downtime here. When it’s time to retire, two restful rooms await. There’s a surprise in store in the large master double: a superb, free-standing roll-top bath where you can enjoy a soothing soak before bed. The second bedroom has a single bed, and each has easy access to a stylish tiled shower room. Fido will go mutts for all the countryside scents here – the farm specialises in prime organic lamb and red kites can often be seen soaring above the garden, where you’ll find outdoor furniture .
This characterful cottage is in the quiet village of Crai, in the heart of the Brecon Beacons. The traditional market town of Brecon is about 8 miles away – visit for a stroll around its independent shops, sample fine food and drink from its choice of eateries, and take in a magnificent range of architecture – the ancient cathedral is a must-see. When you want to stretch Fido’s legs further, the national park is home to some spectacular walks: conquer Pen y Fan, 12 miles away, or hike some of the 90km Epynt Way – paths run directly from the cottage doorstep.
