Overview
Property code: BN111

Nestled in one of the most picturesque areas of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Formerly the Brecon Beacons National Park), this charming top-floor apartment offers stunning mountain views, nearby reservoirs, and cosy country pubs. Located between the historic cathedral town of Brecon and the foodie haven of Abergavenny, with Crickhowell and Hay-on-Wye—renowned for its bookshops and antique stores—just a short drive away, this is the perfect base for exploring the region. Enjoy a range of outdoor activities, from walking, cycling, and horse riding along the many trails to sailing, paddle boarding, and kayaking at nearby Llangorse Lake. For history enthusiasts, the Brecon Beacons Mountain Railway and the Big Pit Mining Museum are must-visits.

The spacious, colorful apartment occupies the top floor of Cantref House and features a private entrance via 26 outdoor metal steps, making it unsuitable for children, infants, and those with mobility issues. Inside, the fully equipped kitchen includes an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, coffee machine, and toaster. The kitchen opens into a bright living room with two sofas, fantastic views of the Brecon Beacons, and an electric wood burner for cosy evenings. The king-size bedroom offers incredible views, and the modern bathroom has a refreshing shower—ideal after a day of exploring. The spacious reading room, fully stocked with books, games and information leaflets, offers a relaxing space to sit and relax whilst enjoying the stunning countryside views from the large window.

Guests can dine alfresco on the balcony, equipped with a telescope for enjoying the mesmerizing dark skies. The front lawn also provides a sunny spot to relax, with ample off-road parking available. A shop, pub, and restaurant are located within 4 miles.

The Top floor of Cantref House made for a very comfortable two weeks holiday. We felt right at home. We had great weather so made good use of the balcony but if it was a little windy the kitchen was a nice sunny place also. Sadly we were never awake late enough to use the telescope. The location was very quiet, lots of bird song and a cheerful CockRead moreerell! Plenty of walking nearby and from the doorstep. I would definitely recommend staying here. The welcome basket is by far the best we've had. Hide
