This 17th-century Welsh longhouse is set to the west of Brecon Beacons National Park, along an ancient drover’s road. The property enjoys extraordinary panoramic views that extend across to Black Mountain and cover distances of more than 50 miles. Excellent walks can be enjoyed straight from the door, with plenty of wildlife to be seen, including several pairs of red kite that nest nearby. Further afield lies the town of Llandeilo with its independent stores, castle and the Heart of Wales railway line, while the city streets of Swansea are waiting to be explored 25 miles to the south.

The beautifully converted property retains plenty of historical charm, with ancient beams and flagstone floors throughout the ground floor. The entrance hallway provides you with somewhere to hang your coats and walking gear after a long day outside, before moving through to the classic farmhouse kitchen to rustle up anything from a snack to a banquet. Grab a quick bite at the breakfast table or head through to the dining room where a magnificent dining table nestles beneath heavy exposed beams. The sitting room also features old oak beams, as well as a large wood burner set in a stone fireplace – ideal for curling up in front of at the end of the day. You will also find a useful utility room with ample storage, a few steps down from the kitchen, the oldest part of the farmhouse, where a couple of armchairs sit in front of the original bread oven and old kitchen range, creating a cosy nook that’s perfect as a quiet reading corner. Upstairs, three bedrooms await weary heads, with a choice of a king-size room with Black Mountain views, as well as double and twin rooms. The property’s bathroom features both a bath and a walk-in shower, and there is also an additional separate WC.

Of course, you don’t have to stay inside to enjoy the views. French doors lead from the sitting room out onto a patio with garden furniture, where you will also find a BBQ for al fresco dining. The property’s remote location and expansive grounds are also perfect for young explorers and their four-legged friends to burn off the last of their energy before calling it a day.

Absolutely amazing views, I would highly recommend this house to anyone. This is a country house with so much character, obviously due to the location low level cars will struggle on the road up to the house but this is part of the adventure so would not have it any other way. Definitely worth a visit x it's amazing x

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Communication from owners was good. If you want an off the beaten track haven then you will love this.

We loved our stay and it was the perfect place to calm down from all the loud city noises (we are from Berlin), to relax and enjoy the beautiful, welsh nature. Standing outside of the cottage, you can see so much and you will hear nothing else than birds, sheep, cows and maybe some insects flying by. Also, if you are lucky (we were :D) you can see Read morethe Aurora Borealis at night! The cottage was very comfy and clean and we enjoyed a warm hearth fire almost every evening.

We loved our stay. The weather wasnt good to us but the log fire kept us warm and toasty. We went with our Honda CRV and VW Up and both cars were fine on the track, we just had to go slow in the Up. We had a great firework free New Years. Our 13.5 year old lab loved the peace and quiet. Would love to go back in the summer and sit outside and watch Read morethe stars. We managed to get some phone reception outside the house under the big tree. Will definitely be back soon. Hide

Large house, beautifully located. It feels very precious to be able to spend some time here. Lots of space for (young) children to be outdoors. The cottage is close to a stunnig drive into the hills. Please be aware that access with a 'low' vehicle is difficult. Ordnance survey walks in the vicinity are overgrown.

Characterful, comfortable cottage with panoramic views. This is an isolated place where you can really get away from it all and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Welsh countryside.
