Enjoying a rural location on a working sheep farm in the foothills of the Black Mountains, this fabulous loft apartment offers spacious accommodation to couples seeking peaceful countryside, interesting wildlife, and seasonal fora. Guests are spoilt for choice when it comes to nearby walking trails and pony trekking across the Black Mountains – join the scenic Offa’s Dyke Path from nearby Longtown (6 miles) and enjoy a fabulous walk across the Hatterrall Ridge to the Hay Bluff. Plan canoeing along the River Wye from Hay-on-Wye or Glasbury (both within 19.5 miles). The famous Brecon Beacons National Park (8 miles) offers endless opportunity for adventure including rock climbing and serious hiking for fitness fanatics. Further afield, Monmouthshire (21 miles) offers stunning river walks, rolling hills and a selection of fine castles.
On arrival to this tranquil working farm and stylish apartment, take a moment to appreciate the lush, rolling countryside that surrounds you. The tranquillity continues inside where a covered porchway and access to a boot room offers space to kick off walking boots. Head upstairs and into the social heart of the home, the airy, open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner. Here, crisp white walls combine with natural light pouring through the skylights and balcony doors. After days on your feet, settle into the comfortable sofa and flick on the Smart TV to catch up on your favourite shows. When stomachs start to rumble, find that the well-appointed kitchen has all you need to cook up romantic feasts for two, perhaps using the local ingredients you sourced earlier in the day. Enjoy food at the wooden dining table near the balcony doors, or if the weather is kind, dine alfresco out on the balcony. When day turns to night, cross the hallway to find the sumptuous double bedroom, and each morning enjoy a rejuvenating soak in the well-equipped shower room that completes the interior.
Outside, make full use of the sun-soaked, scenic balcony – accessed from the living space. Unwind with your holiday read on the comfortable seating or enjoy al fresco breakfasts and dinners using the outdoor table and chairs. Guests are welcome to explore the farm’s lake and footpaths, while secure storage for bikes is also available.
