Conveniently set on one level, the owners have thought of everything so theres no need to pack the kitchen sink!

Once the 18th-century home of the Estate Game Keeper, this luxury retreat sleeps four guests across two bedrooms in comfort and style. Open-plan and beautifully decorated with calming hues and elegant pops of colour, unwind after an energetic day outdoors on the sofa as your pup curls up in front of the roaring wood burner. En-suite bathrooms mean you wont have to queue for the shower, and with one bedroom boasting French doors to the terrace, wake to birdsong before enjoying a morning coffee and a stroll in the partially enclosed garden. Sizzle up a BBQ out here in the evening, just make sure you remember some doggy treats too, and finish the day marvelling at the stars in the night sky.
Set in a quiet hamlet near Garth, just north of Brecon, you’ll find a pub (1 mile), and a shop (2.5 miles) nearby, while the Victorian spa town of Builth Wells (7 miles), offers a variety of shopping and eateries. Wildlife enthusiasts should head for the Elan Valley (21 miles), an ancient landscape of dams, reservoirs and outdoor adventures. And of course, there are a plethora of walks to indulge in which are perfect for walkers, stick-chasers and cyclists alike in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
