Self catering holiday cottage in Crai, Powys

Accommodation details

The owners of this property are passionate about sustainability, and whilst on holiday, you can learn all about farm life and eco-living. Nestled on a working farm in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, it is the epitome of slow living, this conscious country retreat is a wonderful escape for young families or nature-loving groups of friends.

Hike in the beauty of the Brecons alongside a curly-haired companion with the onsite Jacob Sheep Trekking, before gathering for an al fresco afternoon tea in the lush garden. This stone property features a relaxed cottage interior with exposed wooden beams, earthy tones, and floral soft furnishings.

Unravel outer layers at the door then pad along the custom-grown oak flooring into the spacious living area. Whip up a post-adventure snack board in the eggshell shaker kitchen. Perch at the wooden-topped breakfast bar with a brew and flick through a local guidebook. Step down into the lounge and curl up on the seating by the French doors that spill onto a sweeping patio.

In winter months, warm weary feet by the roaring wood burner. As the night draws in, venture into the main lounge/diner/games room. Those with a competitive streak can enjoy a high-stakes round of table football while the leisure-seekers unwind with a movie on the Smart TV. Gather around the glossy feasting table and enjoy a leisurely dinner.

Rest up in your choice of three airy bedrooms, consisting of a ground floor super-king/twin with en-suite, a bright double, and a twin. There is also a separate nursery with two cots. Outside, get grilling on the BBQ as you wave hello to the resident sheep. Thrill-seekers can descend into the magnificent depths of the Dan-yr-Ogof caves (8.5 miles).

Stop for a bite at the Grade I-listed Brecon Cathedral (14.5 miles) or peruse local craft shops in the historic market town of Llandovery (14.5 miles).
