About this property
A traditional detached farmhouse situated near the town of Builth Wells, with views out towards Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) and Pen y Fan. Perfect for families or explorers, the cottage has been designed to a standard of quality, offering homely accommodation for everyone to enjoy. Enter into the utility area, a spacious place to leave your coats and belongings behind, before wandering through to the kitchen/diner. Decorated in a country-cottage-theme with charming units and a central breakfast island, you will look forward to relaxing here with a warm drink in the early hours. The dining room boasts seating for eight people, perfect for an evening meal in the company of your loved ones. Afterwards, the charming lounge is where you will want to be, cosying up on the deep coloured sofas, enjoying the warmth from the woodburning stove ahead of you. For a peaceful night's sleep choose from three double bedrooms upstairs, each oozing a sense of comfort and homeliness, perfect for returning to after a day of adventure and sight-seeing. A separate bunk room is ideal for the children, and a family bathroom is well-appointed, welcoming you with its almost quirky overtone. After readying yourself for the afternoon, why not rest outside on the collection of furniture or enjoy the town which offers a challenging 18-hole golf course, a sports centre, and the Wyeside Arts Centre, which includes a cinema as well as many live shows. Also, you are able to walk straight from the property onto Llandeilo Graban Hill, a perfect location for nature lovers with Red Kites, Buzzards, Grouse and Curlews often spotted. The spa town of Llandrindod Wells is close by, as well as the beautiful Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons). Why not take a day trip to Hay-on-Wye, famous for books and has nearly 40 book shops as well as characterful antique shops and cafes. The famous Hay Festival of Literature and Arts is held here annually. There is also Builth Wells Royal Welsh Show ground, with events all year round. This is a cottage not to be missed for those who want to switch off away from the busy lifestyle.

Some local market towns close by with some nice walking routes on your doorstep. The property itself has everything you'd need for a family of 4-6 but anymore would be cramped. The house is a bit 'tired' and could do with a few modern upgrades if housing a younger family. Upon entering each upstairs room was swarming with flies which wasn't ideal. The boiler in the garage makes a lot of of a noise at night so pretty difficult to sleep if you're staying directly above it in the bunk room. Also didn't appreciate the cleaners wake up call calling me at 7am on the check out day just to see if they could come earlier than the agreed 10am time. All in all a 5/10 but a few changes could easily of been nicer.

Amazed at the walks from the door but with a lame dog we were sadly limited with our walks. The bonus was having a field in front of the cottage where we could exercise our dog. We had a nice relaxing break and am hoping to return to explore the area. Thank you Tim and Ruth.
