9 bedroom Cottage near Builth Wells, Powys / Brecon Beacons, Wales

Mark any special occasion in this grand Georgian property, a place where traditional features meet contemporary elements to create an exceptional place to stay. The old-timey charm of this Grade-II listed house has been maintained, with quirky bedrooms set under the eaves of the attic, original wooden beams and uneven flooring that adds character and personality. Inviting extended families or large groups of friends to stay, the property accommodates up to 16 guests with bedrooms set out across three floors. There’s more than enough room to unwind either separately or as a group, an ideal end to days filled with Powys walks and Brecon Beacons adventures.

Whilst traditional in so many senses, the property has been thoughtfully updated to feature elements such as Smart TVs, modern kitchen equipment and a hot tub to bring the abode into the 21st century. The kitchen itself is a social hub with a breakfast table for keeping the cook company and a formal dining room just a few steps up. You can also eat outdoors, exploring all the nooks and crannies of the garden to find a seating area, a BBQ and a fire pit dotted throughout. Back indoors, a generous selection of nine bedrooms and five bathrooms can be found across all three floors with a unique cottage staircase leading up to the bedrooms in the attic.

Whilst outdoor adventure is assured amongst the rolling hills of The Begwyns (1.5 miles) and the Black Mountain range of the Brecon Beacons National Park (approx. 10 miles), the accommodation is also within easy reach of the cultural hub of Hay-on-Wye (5.5 miles). A splendid tourist destination with a generous allowance of bookshops and an annual literary festival, any budding writer will no doubt take creative inspiration with a visit to this beloved border town.
