With country walks from the doorstep plus Builth Wells and the River Wye just a couple of miles away, this converted barn is perfect for an active party of four and their canine plus-one. After busy days enjoy laid-back evenings by the wood burner; a novel reverse-level layout and high-end detailing enhance your holiday experience.A warm Welsh welcome awaits at this exquisite holiday home. Exposed stone walls and structural beams evoke the building’s heritage, while its open-plan layout, fine finishes and comfortable furnishings add a contemporary twist. An external steel stairway gives access. Pause on the balcony at the top to admire the panoramic views before you step inside. The open-plan living area features comfortable seating arranged by a wood burner and Smart TV, with plenty of space for your pet to stretch out at your feet as you unwind. In one corner, the chic kitchen provides all you’ll need for effortless meal prep; close-by the rustic dining suite doubles as a place to pore over maps and plan your next day’s adventures. The reverse-level layout means that when it’s time to sleep, the dog stays upstairs while his humans head down to two lower-floor bedrooms, both sanctuary-like with luxury linens. Offering flexibility for all parties there’s a double room and a super-king-size room, with a zip-and-link bed that can be set up instead as a twin on request. A sleek shower room with a spa-like feel serves both. For sunshine and sniffs of fresh air, the barn benefits from a garden with outdoor seating.
