Tucked in a peaceful valley on the grounds of a working farm, this attractive barn conversion is the perfect setting for family staycations. Handily located within 3 miles of Sennybridge, it is an excellent destination for those with a love of the outdoors, placing you within easy reach of numerous trails across the Brecon Beacons National Park. Discover the enchanting ancient woodlands of Fforest Fawr, 6 miles away, or challenge your inner explorer and pay a visit to the Dan-yr-Ogof Caves set 11 miles away. Foodies will be spoilt for choice with the delicious local fare available to purchase, and there are ample opportunities for family dining in Brecon, 8 miles from this cottage.

Beneath the charming exterior is a delightful retreat that’s perfectly tailored to socialising, boasting a fabulous decor that combines traditional features with contemporary elegance. Leave muddy boots in the drying room and prepare to relax in the impressive open-plan living space, gathering your entire party on the large corner sofa with bowls of popcorn and a good film. Mealtimes are a social affair thanks to the farmhouse-style kitchen and matching table, perfectly equipped for transforming locally-sourced ingredients into sumptuous feasts. Challenge each other to a few rounds of pool or table football in the games area, or head outside to make use of the array of facilities in the garden. Completing the ground floor is an elegant king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and WC, and there’s a useful separate WC by the drying room. Climb the stairs to find the generous family bathroom and shower room, both stylishly finished and offering a hint of comfort after a busy day. The five remaining bedrooms are also upstairs, including two cosy double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, two further double bedrooms with inspiring views, and a comfortable family bedroom with two double beds.

The enclosed garden has abundant parking for your entire group and plenty of lawn space for children to play. Of an evening, the patio is a tempting spot for summer drinks and tasty BBQ suppers, rounded off with toasting marshmallows over the fire pit. There’s also a bubbling sheltered hot tub for all-weather pampering, the ultimate treat for any staycation.

A lovely and generally well equipped house, which was ideal for an extended family stay for 13 of us. The location was beautiful and the beds and furniture were comfortable. The outdoor hot tub was a treat which we all really enjoyed. A nice enclosed garden and gated drive area are good for outdoor sitting, eating and play.

Highly recommend this beautiful barn for large groups. We were a group of twelve and found the barn very spacious and comfortable. It was very well equipped. Our group included older children and teenagers so the games room proved a huge hit with all. We all enjoyed the hot tub too.
