Cottage In Mid Wales, Hay-On-Wye

Brecon Beacons. Sleeps up to 10

This stunning farmhouse is set amongst miles of rolling countryside which stretch out ahead of you. Wild horses and mountain sheep lazily cross your path as you drive into the National Park from Hay on Wye. The farmhouse is remote and rural, yet just ten minutes to the lovely town of Hay on Wye famous for its bookshops and festival yet still retains its old market town atmosphere. Some of the best walking in the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons is right outside your door or you can hire a bike from Hay on Wye and take one of the mountain bike rides. Visit one of the many National Trust properties, Hergest Croft Gardens, Croft Castle, Berrington Hall or Hampton Court Gardens. Split into two buildings, the main farmhouse and barn have been thoughtfully restored and decorated, with wooden beams, traditional style furniture and welcoming splashes of colour. The farmhouse has a cosy open plan living space, with comfortable sofas arranged around an open fire and a family dining table. There's also a separate snug, with X box and TV which makes a great teenage hangout or a quiet place to enjoy a morning coffee or late night tipple. The traditional kitchen has a range cooker, lots of storage space and a breakfast table for easy social dining and a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. In the barn, you'll also find a lounge/diner, just as cosy, with a wood burner (first basket of logs included). The barn kitchen is beautifully designed with a butler's sink and electric oven and hob. There are three bedrooms in the farmhouse, all doubles, and an impressive bathroom with a roll top bath. The barn has two double bedrooms and another fabulous bathroom with a roll top bath. Outside there is a fantastic terrace with seating and views over the mountains. It's the kind of place you can easily lose a few hours just enjoying nature. There's also a hot tub, which you can use for an extra fee. Outside each property are private courtyard areas and ample parking. For groups of up to 20 persons you can also book the Great Escape Glamping Huts.
