About this property
This luxury holiday accommodation in the heart of the Swansea Valleys is the perfect countryside retreat, complete with stone circle, outdoor sheltered seating area and wigwam.
The barn is located just 3 miles from the village of Pontardawe, on the periphery of the Brecon Beacons National Park; a perfect base to explore Wales at your own pace.

As you enter the property you are welcomed into an open plan kitchen/diner. The whole barn was renovated in 2021 to a high standard blending the traditional features with modern function. The contemporary kitchen has been equipped with an induction range cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is ample dining space for six around the farmhouse table and additional seating on the leather sofa making this kitchen/diner a relaxed social space. The lounge can be found adjacent to the kitchen, down two steps. There are two leather sofas and a separate snuggle chair to relax on, all centred around the wall mounted Smart TV and a wood burner. It's the perfect spot for unwinding in front of the fire after a day of exploring the local area. Down a further couple of stairs are two of the three bedrooms. There is a super king zip n link bedroom (can be made up as twin beds on request) and a double room.
