  • Sumptuous Welsh holiday home, with magnificent valley views and ideal for large groups

  • With a glass balcony, hot tub and games room, plus the possibility of booking a private chef
Property code: OC-BN153

Spectacularly set in the rolling Welsh countryside, this sumptuous holiday home is a fantastic base for a special occasion or family holiday. Put your best foot – or paw – forward on long walks through the valleys before returning to the five-bedroom property for laughter-filled nights indoors or out. Two dogs are welcome to join you at this immaculate retreat set on the edge of a working farm and will delight in the freedom to roam. For their masters, the private hot tub, glass balcony and games room deliver the wow factor.

This contemporary property is cleverly designed for upside-down living to make the most of the stunning rural views. This property's eco-credentials include an air source heat pump, with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint of the property. The main living space is on the first floor, with French windows that open on to a long glass balcony. The underfloor heating in the stylish kitchen/diner will quickly warm up cold feet and paws, while cutting-edge appliances might just inspire a culinary masterpiece. In the plush lounge, sink into the sofas to watch a film while your tired but happy canines snooze near the wood burner. One of the bedrooms is on this floor, while the others are downstairs, all with Smart TVs. Outside, sit back and watch the children and dogs scamper about on the lawn (enclosed by a fence) before lighting the BBQ for an al fresco family feast.

The property is just 1 mile from Builth Wells, see the castle remains and go for delightful walks along the River Wye. Watch red kites feeding at Gigrin Farm (14.5 miles), where dogs are welcome on leads, and enjoy the unspoilt beauty of the Elan Valley (17 miles). There are rambles for all levels of canine ability, from short splashy trails to challenging hikes for fitter stick-chasers.

Lovely house in a beautiful rural location with lambs and calves around. Very clean, well equipped and Debbie was very responsive and helpful for anything we asked. She suggested great places to go and things to do. We enjoyed the space, hot tub, games room, patio and lawn, which all kept all 3 generations in our party happy and occupied.
