Cottage in Mid Wales

Charming cottage, situated above the traditional village of Lower Chapel on the outskirts of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Guests are encouraged to embrace their surroundings; the farm has a resident peacock and duck pond to admire. The property makes the ideal base for rambling and mountain biking leave the car behind and head out into the hills. Builth Wells is only 9 miles away and can be reached on foot from the farm over beautiful rugged countryside if you re feeling adventurous. Just 5 miles south is the bustling market town of Brecon, well known for its famous jazz festival, independent shops and cafes, history, military connections and, of course, the magnificent Cathedral. Llangorse Lake (14 miles) caters for paddleboarding and kayaking. Travel underground at the National Showcaves Centre or, step back in time with a day at the Big Pit Museum Blaenavon (30 miles). For more sedate days out, there are some lovely market towns with farmers markets such as Hay on Wye and Crickhowell all within 20 miles. The cottage is situated next door to the main farmhouse, enjoying an open front aspect with views across the duck pond and countryside. Step through the front door into the open plan ground floor, beautifully finished with exposed stonework and beams. The space has been cleverly divided offering guests the perfect place for relaxing, dining and cooking. Curl up on the sofa and arm chairs in front of the wood burner to enjoy a movie on the Smart TV; whip up culinary delights in the contemporary kitchen; and sit down for meals after a day in the hills around the circular table, suitable for four. A handy utility room has a washing machine along with a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs, guests have the choice of two generously sized bedrooms, both enjoying a front aspect with stunning views across the countryside: a double room with en suite shower and WC, and a king size zip and link (that can be made into 2 6 twin beds on request when booking). Outside, to the rear, is an enclosed garden with table and chairs; to the front open onto the grounds of the farm, with duck pond. There is a store to the side of the cottage which is suitable for bike storage, along with a clothes rack. Dogs must be kept on leads within the farm.
