Additionally, three other bedrooms have balconies that overlook the beautifully landscaped garden, enhancing the experience of staying in this remarkable property.
Set within five-and-a-half acres of mature gardens, Abernant House provides a picturesque setting that slopes down to the River Wye, where guests can enjoy a private stone beach complete with fishing rights. The garden is designed for relaxation and recreation, featuring a swing on a giant copper beech tree and a stone barbecue area, which is ideal for summer gatherings and alfresco dining. The property is conveniently located just four miles from Builth Wells and a short drive from Hay-on-Wye, renowned for its literary festival and charming bookshops, as well as the cathedral town of Brecon.
The surrounding area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with the stunning landscapes of the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons nearby. Visitors can partake in a variety of activities such as walking, cycling, mountain biking, canoeing, and fishing, particularly for salmon and trout. Abernant House also has a rich history, having once been owned by Lord Caccia, a notable figure in the diplomatic service, with connections to significant historical events including the Treaty of Versailles. This unique blend of history, luxury, and natural beauty makes Abernant House a remarkable destination for those seeking a memorable getaway in Wales.
