Nestled deep within the foothills of the Radnor Forest, far from the madding crowds, you could feel a million miles from anywhere at this secluded Welsh idyll –⁠ which is just how we like it. Inside, this 16th Century home has been lovingly converted with carefully curated vintage-style interiors. Exposed beams and cottage windows show the passage of time, while modern textiles and pops of colour bring a flare of modernity and a boutique-hotel feel. The bespoke shaker-style kitchen painted in a rich forest green makes preparing mealtimes a joy while your ensemble gathers around the charming kitchen table –⁠ there's room for you all. With wood stacks by the fireplace in the cosy snug. A bookcase filled with classics. And outside, a quaint private garden for alfresco barbecues, and a babbling brook for company, you may have no desire to venture out. But really, you must. The mountainous landscapes are the perfect playground for walkers and nature-lovers. Take off into the Welsh wilderness to discover the region's famed waterfall, nicknamed Water-Break-its-Neck (a one-hour gentle stroll). And when thoughts turn to food, you're close to a great selection of eateries serving hearty British meals. The village of Old Radnor is just a short drive away, where you'll find an award-winning ancient longhouse inn serving Sunday lunches with unparalleled views across the Radnor Valley.
