2 Bed Cottage in Tretower

About this property

This stunning stone barn sits in an elevated position overlooking the Usk Valley. Sleeping four guests, the property makes an excellent couples’ retreat or base for a small family. You’ll have endless walks from your front door, through the dramatic Black Mountains. The pretty village of Crickhowell (3.5 miles) offers independent shops and eateries, and you’ll also be within 12 miles of the vibrant market towns of Brecon and Abergavenny.

The 17th-century converted barn forms part of a small complex of holiday homes on a working livestock farm. The property has a contemporary interior, whilst retaining original features such as exposed oak beams. At the heart of the home is a spacious lounge, with plush leather seating to recline on and a roaring wood burner to create a cosy atmosphere. A bright kitchen/diner has everything you need to rustle up tasty dishes, and there’s also a beautiful oak dining table for sharing mealtimes together. The two elegant bedrooms are upstairs, both of which have en-suite shower rooms and glorious rural views. The property has underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, ensuring a warm welcome whatever the season. Outside, bask in the Welsh sunshine on the gravel terrace and admire the far-reaching views, whilst sipping a glass of wine or enjoying a family BBQ.

Set off on foot from the property to join the long-distance Beacon’s Way through the spectacular surrounding landscape, or perhaps head to Tretower Court and Castle (1 mile) to unearth 900 years of history. Highlights here include a great hall that is laid out as it would have been in the 1400s and a recreated 15th-century garden. The bustling town of Abergavenny is a must for foodies, with its wonderful array of pubs, cafes, and restaurants, along with regular markets selling delicious local produce.
