Nestled on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, this 18th-century farmhouse makes a cosy rural retreat. Inside, it has a rustic, homely feel with exposed beams and a fireplace for curling up beside after a long walk. When the sun's shining, the garden patio is just the spot for barbecues overlooking the dramatic countryside, and when it's not, head to the nearby local pub for a bite to eat. The historic market town of Brecon is just under four miles away, with independent shops, cafes and a cathedral to explore.
