Self catering holiday in Llangorse, Wales

Accommodation details

This idyllic countryside retreat is the perfect base for families and groups of friends looking to switch off and relax in breathtaking surroundings. A myriad of picturesque walks branch away from the property, including to the village of Llanfihangel Talyllyn (1 mile), where you'll find a cosy pub and village store.

Nearby day trips include the literary town of Hay-on-Wye (15 miles) and the bustling market town of Brecon (6 miles). The former cattle shed sits on a working farm and is full of character, with original features carefully combined with contemporary design. Inside, a large entrance hall leads to the open-plan kitchen/diner.

This sociable space has a dining table to seat everyone and all the equipment needed to whip up delicious feasts. Moving through to the welcoming lounge, you'll find a cosy room with comfortable seating and a wood burner to warm your toes after a long, countryside ramble. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor and the two inviting bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities.

A gorgeous, enclosed garden awaits outside, with a front lawn and a rear garden with a terrace for al fresco dining. There are also sun loungers for relaxing on with a cocktail, whilst admiring the far-reaching views. Journey to Hay-on-Wye to peruse its wonderful collection of book shops (there are over 20 in the town!).

You'll also find a great range of independent eateries, along with cute boutiques and galleries. After a wander around the town, head down to The Warren for a picnic on the banks of the River Wye or, if you're feeling brave, a spot of wild swimming. Llangorse Lake is just 4 miles from the property and offers beautiful waterside walks, as well as the opportunity to hire canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards to get out on the water.
