About this property
An old stone farmhouse originally dating from the 1800s, here tradition meets modernity to create a charming holiday home for all the family. Delightfully situated in the peace and quiet of several acres of rugged landscape, and within 2 miles of the bustling town of Crickhowell.
The hillside behind this delightful cottage, Craig y Cilliau, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and attracts a wealth of wildlife. The caves of Agen Allwedd are very popular with cavers, and with footpaths right from the door, walkers, hikers and bikers will be in heaven. The River Usk is easily accessible in Crickhowell, whilst The Brecon and Monmouth Canal runs close to the farm for an easy stroll along the historic tram line. This cottage is within easy reach of the villages of Llangattock and Crickhowell, with plenty of pubs, restaurants and coffee shops, perfect after a day in the hills. Day permits for fishing on the Rivers Usk & Wye are available in Crickhowell and canoes for the River Wye can be rented in Glasbury. Traditional features blend seamlessly with modern comforts in this charming home from home. Sleeping seven with the option of an eighth fold down bed, this stone farmhouse can be booked with the neighbouring barn that sleeps two, perfect for those who wish to holiday together with a bit of their own space.

The living room, with its oak beams and stone fireplace has a wealth of character, with two sofas and a chair perfect for relaxing on in front of the wood burner, watching a film or perhaps enjoying a jigsaw or game.
