A beautiful stone cottage settled on a farm in the Wye Valley, marvel at the outstanding views of the Black Mountains from the living room window.

Settled on the outskirts of the small village of Llyswen, this delightful barn conversion is situated in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, with walking, cycling, hiking and pony trekking in abundance for every level of adventurer. Day permits for fishing on The Rivers Usk & Wye are available in Crickhowell and canoes for the River Wye can be rented in Glasbury. Within 10 miles of Brecon and Builth Wells, discover independent stores, delicious local produce and Welsh heritage sites. Hire mountain bikes and enjoy pony trekking at Cantref Adventure Farm, or try sailing, paddle boarding and kayaking at Llangorse Lake. Tackle Pen y Fan, the largest peak in South Wales in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, or Cefn Llechid with views to the Black Mountains and the Sugar Loaf.

A real home from home, this delightful cottage has been tastefully decorated with everything provided for. In a lovely peaceful setting with spectacular views, make the most of the bountiful Welsh countryside from right outside the door. Designed for socialising, the open-plan living space is the hub of the house for everyone to gather, whether for a meal at the dining table or on the sofas for a film. The well-equipped beech finish kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine/dryer. The dining table seats six guests so gather for many a home-cooked meal or perhaps a board game. In the evenings retire to the comfortable sitting area and relax with a film and a cup of tea on the leather sofas and chairs. A shower room and a twin bedroom, both with one step up to them, completes the downstairs. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a double bed and an en-suite with a shower, whilst a further twin room has an en-suite with a bath.

With many footpaths crossing the farm, walk out the door for miles of open space in lush countryside. The large, safe children's play area with swing set and slide provides hours of entertainment, whilst the BBQ and picnic area allow for hours of al fresco dining making the most of the spectacular views.

Excellent all round apart from weather over which we had no control. Would definitely consider this cottage if we are going to the area in the future. Owners are really lovely and friendly, could ask for nothing more.

The barn is lovely and clean. Brilliant location and very peaceful. There is ample room for six, lots of parking spaces. Most facilities are a short drive away.

A well-equipped, comfortable and spacious property in a great location. Highly recommended for small and large parties with the adjoining property, and we'd happily stay again when in the area.

We had a great week exploring the area, plenty of lovely walks and bike rides to do. As well as activities on the River Wye. The cottage was very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. Kids loved the garden, plenty of space for them to run around and play games in. Thank you very much.

Absolutely loved our stay at Yew Tree, only there for 3 nights, but it was enough to get that feeling of a break away. The views are gorgeous from the cottage, and the surroundings are peaceful and refreshing. That area of the Brecon Beacons is ideal to base yourself from for some lovely local attractions, somthing for everyone. The cottage itself Read morewas ideal for the family and very comfortable, clean and welcoming. Would happily recommend to other visitors. Hide
