Nestled in the heart of the breathtaking Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (formerly the Brecon Beacons), this stunning top-floor apartment offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, modern comfort, and prime location. Imagine waking up to panoramic mountain views, with tranquil reservoirs and cosy country pubs just moments away. Conveniently positioned between the historic cathedral town of Brecon and the foodie hotspot of Abergavenny, and close to charming Crickhowell and Hay-on-Wye - famous for its bookshops and antiques - this is an ideal base for adventure, relaxation, and everything in between.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and horse riding along scenic trails and canal side pathways, or water-based activities like sailing, paddle-boarding, and kayaking at nearby Llangorse Lake. History buffs can explore the Brecon Mountain Railway or step back in time at the Big Pit Mining Museum. And when the sun sets, this 'Dark Skies' area offers a magical stargazing experience.

The apartment itself is a bright, colourful retreat set on the top floor of Cantref House. The fully equipped kitchen features an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, coffee machine, and toaster, making meal prep a breeze. Flowing into a spacious living room, you'll find two comfortable sofas, spectacular views of the Brecon Beacons, and an electric wood burner for those cosy evenings in. The separate reading room, stocked with books, games, and guides, provides a tranquil space to unwind while admiring the stunning countryside views through a large window. A telescope is also included for stargazing enthusiasts. The king-size bedroom offers luxurious comfort with sweeping views, and the modern bathroom features a refreshing shower - perfect after a day of exploring.

Step outside to enjoy alfresco dining on the balcony, complete with orchard views and multiple seating options, allowing you to soak up the sun or relax under the shade of mature apple trees.

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
