Overview
Property code: 78667

This Grade 2* listed property steeped in history and stunning views is set within the vibrant village of Grosmont, simply perfect for exploring the rugged beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Special occasions call for outstanding accommodation, and this majestic property is ideal for large groups seeking a luxurious setting for stylish celebrations in the Welsh countryside. Boasting five grand bedrooms and an array of rooms for entertaining, its perfectly suited for waggy-tailed visitors and up to 10 human companions. There’s open fires for cosy snoozing, lavish bathrooms for cleaning paws, and even a fantastic playroom to keep the children off your tail so you can concentrate on relaxing.

Bursting with period features, antique furniture and traditional accessories, the entire property is a treasure trove of delights from a TV disguised as a painting, to a downstairs bathroom laden with books. There’s something to surprise and delight at every turn, especially on the ground floor where you’ll find feather-stuffed sofas and a roaring open fire in the lounge, an impressive games room, and a kitchen/diner fit for a banquet. The playroom can be found up some stone steps, and an uneven character spiral/curved staircase lead up to the bedrooms. Spread across two levels, each bedroom is unique, whether you opt for the King Charles Room with its hidden en-suite and feature roll-top slipper bath, or the Nell Gwyn room that has a seductive four-poster bed and an adjoining bedroom. The remaining bedrooms are equally as gorgeous with mesmerising views of the surrounding countryside. Outside, the landscaped gardens have garden furniture, a BBQ, mini croquet and a fire pit for balmy summer evenings.

If you can tear yourself away, the handy location between the Wye Valley and Brecon Beacons National Park means you could soon be sniffing out a multitude of exciting walks. Explore the famous ‘three castles’ route from your doorstep, padding along various stretches of the 20-mile route and rewarding yourself with a slap-up meal at one of the local pubs.

  • Due to the traditional character of the cottage, the wooden spiral/curved stairs are not standard, they’re period of age and slightly uneven, and character sloped ceilings result in restricted head height upstairs.

  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
