  • A beautiful house ideal for a large group exploring the Brecon Beacons
  • A spacious and relaxing property complete with a games room
  • Perfect for family celebrations and get-togethers
Property code: BN080

With ample space for 13 guests, this bright and welcoming property on the outskirts of Brecon makes a great holiday home for a family celebration or for a group of friends enjoying a weekend break.

Sniff out the best walks the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park has to offer from the vantage point of Brecon itself. This large property is perfectly suited to groups of up to 13 humans and two hounds, providing endless potential for a scenic scamper. At night, your accommodation boasts a range of entertainment options to keep you and the youngsters occupied whilst Fido snoozes by the flame-effect gas fire.

You’ll have everything you need for socialising, dining and sleeping in style as this attractive property is extremely spacious and welcoming. Games, toys, a TV, DVD player and a Wii console are available as well as a pool table and upright piano, inviting you to spend your time scattered between the lounge and games room. Mealtimes are a breeze thanks to the kitchen/diner, or why not dine alfresco with a BBQ in the summer months? Upstairs, there are six bedrooms to choose from, four of which have en-suites and the remainder share a bathroom and two shower rooms. Please note that Brecon Rugby Club is also situated on this quiet lane and occasionally hosts functions and live music events.

Brecon is perhaps best known for its beautiful cathedral and array of shops, eateries and galleries, but it is also home to a popular museum, the Theatr Brycheiniog and an independent cinema. For waggy-tailed visitors, the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is sure to please when it comes to walkies, and the Brecon Beacons National Park has such a diverse landscape you’ll be able to explore for hours. Water sports, fishing and adrenaline-fuelled pursuits are all possible at Llangorse Lake, 6.5 miles away, but if you are feeling really brave you can tackle the great heights of Pen y Fan, 6.5 miles away.

We stayed in the house as four generations and it was great for all of us. The location was great for access to the town.

Canal Bridge House is a perfect house for large family gatherings. We were 13 of us, aged 1 to 90 years, and never felt cramped. Ideal location for pushchair walks along the canal and to the town, but also more adventurous country walks. House exceptionally well equipped. Some nights can be noisy from events at the Rugby club but that did not spoilRead more our holiday. It was handy having shops within easy walking distance. Great stay and would totally recommend it. Great welcome pack too. Hide

This property is spotlessly clean, well-equipped and comfortable. We were a group of old school friends and the piano and pool table were a bonus. There was a welcome pack which included fresh fruit, tea, coffee and milk, which meant we didnt have to rush out to buy basic provisions. The house is in a great location.
