About this property

Brecon 2 miles.

A high quality studio apartment attached to the owners' home, close to the River Usk in the quiet hamlet of Fennifach, two miles from Brecon. This pretty Brecon self-catering apartment offers very comfortable accommodation, lovingly styled to offer a perfect romantic base in a wonderfully peaceful location. This beautiful Brecon self-catering apartment has the most welcoming feel - the lovely balcony is ideal for alfresco dining and soaking up the lovely views, while inside, the accommodation is cosy whatever the weather. Spend relaxing days in and around this lovely Brecon self-catering apartment with scenic river walks right from the doorstep taking you further into the countryside or into Brecon town itself where you can enjoy the wonderful architecture, the quaint little shops, afternoon tea or a trip to the theatre. Maybe enjoy boat rides on the river or fantastic walks through the magnificent Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), with their ever-changing scenery. With great cycle routes in the Bannau Brycheiniog, why not bring along your bike? The area is ideal for walking, hiking, cycling or just enjoying wonderful days out. The Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) has been designated an International Dark Sky Reserve for astronomers, only the fifth in the world. Head further south to explore Swansea and Cardiff, or head west to Laugharne, home to Dylan Thomas's writing shed. Laugharne will be home to many celebrations of Thomas's work in 2014 as the village marks the centenary of the poet's birth. From this delightful Brecon self-catering apartment you can explore an abundance of castles and museums, watch the red kites at the nearby feeding station, enjoy permit fishing, wander around beautiful gardens, maybe add a round of golf and then return to your romantic retreat for cosy evenings together. A perfect Brecon self-catering apartment, all year round.

The town of Brecon, on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) has Georgian and Jacobean architecture, a cathedral, museums, a theatre, a cinema, shops, restaurants and pubs. The stunning Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) is a haven for walkers and cyclists, with breathtaking countryside, waterfalls and caves. Also with the National Park are market towns, castles, and monuments, plus relaxing activities, such as pony trekking, and a ride on the Brecon steam railway. Within driving distance is the town of Hay-on-Wye with its many book and antique shops, plus the towns of Abergavenny and Builth Wells are well worth exploring. Brecon is an ideal base from which to explore the area.

    It might seem a bit quiry to describe the studio as above the garage. It is not used as a garage ,the studio is separate and private with use of the large garden The location is a bird watcher/walker's paradise with reservoirs and nature reserves nearby but plenty of other attractions such as Hay on Wye book town and the busy Abergavenny Market by bus or car. Plus a cinema, theatre, music pubs. Could easily have stayed much longer and hope return again. Must also thank Sykes for making my travels easy to plan with loads of choice over UK at affordable prices.
