Settled on the outskirts of the small village of Llyswen, this delightful barn conversion is situated in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, with walking, cycling, hiking and pony trekking in abundance for every level of adventurer. Day permits for fishing on The Rivers Usk & Wye are available in Crickhowell and canoes for the River Wye can be rented in Glasbury. Within 10 miles of Brecon and Builth Wells, discover independent stores, delicious local produce and Welsh heritage sites.

A shower room and a twin bedroom, both with one step up to them, completes the downstairs. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a double bed and an en-suite with a shower, whilst a further twin room has an en-suite with a bath.

Very helpful and charming hosts. Immaculate cottage, very well equiped. Stunning views. Loved the sounds of the sheep and watching them. Several good restaurants nearby. Crick Howell is good with a great butcher near to a super cheese and vegetable shop. Nicholls is good for gifts and indulgence. Our walking days are long gone but would imagine theRead more nearby walks and scenery are glorious. Comprehensive information in the accomodation and visitors book for info. Lovely holiday. Hide

Excellent all round apart from weather over which we had no control. Would definitely consider this cottage if we are going to the area in the future. Owners are really lovely and friendly, could ask for nothing more.

The barn is lovely and clean. Brilliant location and very peaceful. There is ample room for six, lots of parking spaces. Most facilities are a short drive away.

A well-equipped, comfortable and spacious property in a great location. Highly recommended for small and large parties with the adjoining property, and we'd happily stay again when in the area.

We had a great week exploring the area, plenty of lovely walks and bike rides to do. As well as activities on the River Wye. The cottage was very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. Kids loved the garden, plenty of space for them to run around and play games in. Thank you very much.

We rented both cottages on the site for a large family gathering, it was ideal, lots of outdoor safe space for the grandchildren too. Amazing views and beautiful location.
