Perched on the banks of the River Wye and surrounded by magnificent rolling hills, this little cottage makes the perfect setting for a countryside escape. Crafted in traditional stone with a range of luxurious features, the owners have styled this home to enrich your stay with comfort and ease. So whether you’re here for an action-packed adventure across the Brecon Beacons National Park (just a twenty-five-minute drive away), or simply to relax and unwind, you’ll find yourself transported to the timeless beauty of Wales. From cosy afternoons curled up with a book by the fire to lingering barbecue meals and magical nights by the fire pit, this is the kind of home that will leave you feeling inspired and ready to explore. Days can be spent hiking along Wye Valley Walk (right on your doorstep) or enjoying stunning views from Elan Valley Lakes. The small town of Builth Wells is just a short drive away and has a lovely selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes – look out for Cosy Corner (it's the locals’ favourite).
