  • Beautiful converted gothic chapel adorned with art and colour
  • Situated in Glasbury, a vibrant village near Hay-on-Wye 
  • Enjoy private yoga classes and the National Park for walking, cycling, wild swimming and kayaking on your doorstep
Property code: OC-80464

This unique property, on the village green in Glasbury, sleeps eight guests and your dog. Enjoy gentle strolls along the river, or a spot of wild-water swimming at The Bont, before tucking into a hearty meal at the incredibly dog-friendly pub. Walking opportunities in the area are endless, with the rolling hills of The Begwns just 8 miles away and the northern fringe of the Brecon Beacons National Park only 4 miles from the property.

This wonderful gothic chapel, which was an active place of worship until the late 90s, is packed with quirky original features, contrasting prints and bright colours, creating a truly magnificent living space. It has been lovingly transformed into a stylish home and gallery, with a rotation of artwork twice a year. High ceilings and an open-plan layout make the property feel wonderfully spacious, with numerous little nooks and crannies where the hound can set up camp. On a summer’s evening, dine alfresco in the chapel gardens, overlooking the village green. This is a great place for the pup to stretch their legs in the morning when you emerge after a peaceful night’s sleep in one of the characterful bedrooms.

Head to Painscastle, 8 miles away, where you and the pup can enjoy a sedate amble through The Begwns. The 2-mile loop takes you to The Roundabout, where you can admire far-reaching views across the entire Brecon Beacons. If you fancy something to get the heart pumping, why not take on the challenge of Sugar Loaf Mountain (20 miles away)? The iconic peak dominates the skyline of the Black Mountains and offers breathtaking views across South Wales. Let Rover lead the way on the rugged path that criss-crosses to the summit, as buzzards and red kites soar high overhead.

Very spacious, characterful & well equipped property, ideal for our group of 4 x 50-something couples to enjoy a long weekend of catching up. Great kitchen for catering, & big table for everybody to sit, eat, chat, play games etc. The three bathrooms mean limited waiting showers, & a loo pretty much always available.

We were 4 couples + 3 dogs who stayed at the chapel for three nights over new year. We loved our stay, it was a fantastic space to spend time together. Nice large beds for us all, well equipped kitchen and the large open plan lounge diner was lovely. It is stylishly decorated and full of character, some of the furniture is a bit past it, but almostRead more adds to the comfortable homely feel. Really lovely pub with excellent food 2 minutes away and some good dog walks. Would highly recommend. Hide

We had a lovely weekend away and the house was everything we expected. Clean, tidy and comfy. Good location to get onto Hay where we had a meal and drinks on the Saturday. Hosts were communicative and a good information pack to give ideas of things and places to go.
