Located in Cantref, Glamorgan, Wales, this charming property sleeps up to 10 guests and features an open fire. Originally a barn for sheep shearing, it has been converted into a spacious retreat set on the grounds of a working farm. Guests can explore the Welsh countryside on foot, bike, or horseback, spotting red kites, peregrine falcons, and buzzards. Nearby attractions include the waterfalls at Nant Sere under Pen y Fan for wild swimming and Cantref Adventure Farm for family fun.
The property's interior is filled with original features like oak beams, vaulted ceilings, and terracotta flooring. The open plan living area includes a lounge with a wood burner, dining table, and kitchen with modern amenities. A second snug area offers entertainment for younger guests, while a utility/drying room is convenient for storing outdoor gear. Two bedrooms, including a twin and master with en suite, are located on the ground floor, along with a walk-in wet room for accessibility.
Upstairs, guests will find a cozy reading nook, a dormitory-style bedroom with four single beds (two of which can be converted into a double), and a king-size bedroom that can be transformed into two singles. Two additional fold-up beds are available upon request. Outside, two terraces with garden furniture and a BBQ provide space for outdoor dining, while children can play in the lawned garden. Guests are also welcome to explore the surrounding fields when they are free from livestock.
