Nestled in the scenic mountains of Mid Wales, Llanwrtyd Wells offers a perfect retreat for groups seeking a spacious and comfortable getaway. This five-star stone-converted barn, accommodating up to ten guests, is ideally situated just 1.5 miles from the charming town of Llanwrtyd Wells, where visitors can stock up on supplies or enjoy meals at local pubs. The surrounding area is renowned for its walking and biking opportunities, catering to all ages and skill levels. Guests can explore local nature reserves like RSPB Gwenffrwd Dinas, which is accessible on foot, or tackle the challenging Devil’s Staircase. Additionally, the Brecon Beacons National Park, located a short 13-mile drive away, boasts numerous natural attractions and scenic drives through the picturesque Elan Valley.
Upon entering the barn through a rear entrance, guests are welcomed into a thoughtfully designed interior that exudes elegance and comfort. The lower ground floor features the first of five bedrooms, a charming twin room. The ground floor is home to a spacious sitting room, complete with a wood burner and large windows that frame stunning valley views. Adjacent to this area is the main lounge, elevated by a few steps, where cozy sofas and armchairs invite guests to gather for movie nights, equipped with a TV and DVD/Blu-ray player. The bright kitchen/diner, also on the ground floor, is well-appointed with a range-style cooker, dishwasher, and a dining table that seats ten, making it ideal for communal meals.
Ascending the handmade oak staircase in the sitting room leads to four additional bedrooms, which include three king-size rooms—two of which feature en-suite shower facilities—and a lovely double room. The bedrooms are characterized by exposed beams and sloped or vaulted ceilings, enhancing the traditional charm of the property. A family bathroom, complete with a bath, separate shower, and WC, serves the upstairs accommodations, ensuring convenience for all guests. The attention to detail in decor and furnishings throughout the barn contributes to a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Outside, the property boasts an enclosed lawned garden, perfect for hosting barbecues, dining alfresco, or unwinding in the hot tub after a day of adventure. Additional amenities include bike storage and grazing options for horses or ponies, catering to outdoor enthusiasts. Ample off-road parking is also available beside the property, ensuring a hassle-free stay. This barn not only provides a comfortable base for exploring the natural beauty of Wales but also serves as a charming social hub for friends and family to reconnect and create lasting memories.
