The mile-long track road that leads to this charming farm building sets the scene for a remote stay surrounded by nature. On arrival, take a moment to savour the building’s historic stone exterior before stepping inside to find your private, pet friendly Welsh retreat. Be greeted by a well-appointed kitchen that boasts everything needed for a self-catered stay. This leads through to the social heart of the home, the open-plan lounge/diner. Gather at the wooden table to enjoy your holiday feasts, then afterwards, let stomachs settle as you sink into the lounge’s soft seating and find your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Completing the ground floor is a WC with a handy washing machine for holiday laundry – you’ll also have access to a shared tumble dryer. At the end of each busy day away, head upstairs and find a choice of two light and airy bedrooms: a master king-size room and a cosy twin, both served by a family bathroom.

Step outside each day to soak up the far-reaching countryside views. Here, in a small but private space, you’ll find a bench perfect for quiet morning coffees and a picnic table that invites al fresco lunches with scenic views as your backdrop. Guests will also benefit from private parking for up to three cars.
