Located in Cantref, Glamorgan, Wales, this rural escape attached to the owner's property offers a peaceful retreat for two guests. Set on a working farm, guests can enjoy wonderful walks straight from the doorstep, with woodlands and a Site of Special Scientific Interest along the Nant Menascin River running through the farm. There are waterfalls and river pools for wild swimming, and in the spring, visitors can stroll through the bluebell wood. Footpaths across the farm lead into the Brecon Beacons, making it an ideal destination for keen walkers. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal in the village of Llanfrynach offers peaceful walks along the towpath, while the town of Brecon provides independent stores, pubs, and restaurants.
The charming cottage features a warm and inviting interior with original features such as exposed brickwork and ceiling beams. The lounge/diner is a welcoming space with polished wooden floors, SkyTV, and a wood burner for cozy nights in. The compact oak kitchen is well-equipped, and a stylish shower room completes the ground floor accommodation. The very steep oak stairs lead to a cozy king-size bedroom with views of the Black Mountains. Outside, a private stone slabbed patio with BBQ and garden furniture offers a perfect spot for alfresco dining and stargazing in the clear night skies. The owner is happy to give guests a tour of the farm and see the animals, and the River Menascin is within 500 meters for picnics and swimming.
For added adventure, Cantref Adventure Farm is just 2 miles away, offering pony treks through the rolling landscape. The farm also provides stabling for horses by arrangement with the owner, and a field below the cottage is available for guests with friends who wish to camp. With its idyllic setting and proximity to stunning natural surroundings, this cottage in Cantref is the perfect escape for a relaxing and memorable getaway in Wales.
