Located on one of the highest farms in the Brecon Beacons, this super barn conversion has stunning views, and with footpaths leading directly to Pen-y-fan, Corn Ddu and Cribyn, it’s a real hillwalkers’ paradise

A beautiful peaceful environment with waterfalls, streams, woodlands and grazing sheep on the farm, this fantastic holiday home is also only 4 miles from the town of Brecon.

Steps lead down to a large flag-stoned area with double height windows where a wonderful, semi-circular oak settle reaches around a very large, stone central fireplace - a wonderful place to relax in the flickering heat of an open fire. Up a few steps to the main living area, comfortable sofas and armchairs are the perfect place to relax after a long day to watch a movie, or to read a book in front of the wood burner. One of the sofas is a double sofa bed. There is a lovely recessed window area with a sofa and chairs with uninterrupted views straight up to the Beacons. There is a downstairs shower room and an area for leaving coats and boots. Also there are three bedrooms on the ground floor, two doubles sharing one Jack & Jill shower room and a twin with en-suite shower room. Upstairs there is a further very spacious bathroom with a bath.

We had a wonderful stay at Beacons View. We were a hen do of 15 girls and the space is perfect. The pictures shown do not do it justice.

Great location and house is well sized and fab property layout. However, in serious need of renovation and modernisation for today as standards and price point.

A perfect no frills escape. Whilst the barn doesnt allow for fluffy cushions, matching cutlery or decorative artwork to make it look homely, what it does offer instead is the space for larger groups to be able to come and enjoy time together.

Absolutely beautiful 17th century converted barn, in an amazing setting surrounded by the Beacons. Comfortably housed 12 people and a 10 min drive to Brecon village for shops. The only thing that takes some getting used to are driving through the extremely narrow country lanes. But aside from that thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area.

13 of us stayed here for a hen do, the location was amazing! The house was stunning and the views even better. Would highly recommend this place, really good value for money also. The landlord is very friendly, really welcoming and accommodating. We also had visits from the local sheep dogs who were so friendly and loved a belly rub.
