About this property

A delightful detached barn conversion in the centre of the small, peaceful village of Abbeycwmhir, in the lovely Radnorshire Hills of Mid Wales. This spacious Wales cottage has been successfully renovated, retaining some original wooden beams and trusses, which combine with contemporary fixtures and fittings to create welcoming, quality accommodation. Glyndwr's Way national trail and Cycle Route 25 run through the village, both offering beautiful scenery on the doorstep. A short drive away are the Cambrian Mountains and the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), which provide even more of a walking challenge. Enjoy a ride on the Brecon Mountain Railway through breathtaking scenery, the beautiful lakes of the Elan Valley or the Red Kite Feeding Station at Rhayader. At the end of an exciting day, enjoy a quiet drink in the cottage owner's village inn, which is next door. The perfect Abbeycwmhir cottage, and an ideal location for a relaxing family holiday or romantic break. Note: This cottage is next door to Ref. 11414, together they sleep 12.

    There is some lovely places to visit around the area this visit was actually our second as stayed in Karen and John's other cottage in September and enjoyed it so much we returned within a few weeks and will definitely return again.

    Very quiet.

    Would have visited the inn but opening at 8pm was a put off. We got a couple of days with torrential rain but found things to occupy us during this time was limited to puzzles with pieces missing and an old children's game again with pieces missing. We enjoyed our holiday but sorry to say the stables were not for us.
