Llwyncelyn

Enjoy the best of all worlds at this wonderful farmhouse. With three bedrooms delivering idyllic valley views, two lounge areas – one with a wood burner – and a private hot tub, it’s a great setting for a gathering of family or friends; two pets can join in the fun too!

Located on a working farm, this large, detached property sits amid a patchwork of fields and pastures. A perfect country escape, it’s spacious enough to accommodate a party of six in supreme comfort, with the country-style kitchen sure to be a hive of activity.

The open-plan living/dining room allows easy movement between comfortable sofas and dinner table, with a Smart TV for home-style entertainment and a wood burner adding a warm glow to gatherings when the outdoor temperature drops. If anyone wants time away from the larger group, the separate ‘snug’ has further seating and a selection of games.

A cloakroom completes the convenience of the ground-floor layout. Upstairs, there’s a fabulous family bathroom with mountain views and three bedrooms: two super-king-size – one of which has its own en-suite shower room – and a twin, all of which look out onto green pastures.

You’ll feel fully away from it all when you spend time in the garden here; an enclosed area laid to gravel has a picnic table for al fresco feasts, a rattan sofa set and a swinging egg chair to relax on while the real piece de resistance is a gorgeous hot tub where you can lay back in the bubbles and bask in the sunshine or beneath a starry nightscape. There’s also a lock-up shed for bike storage.

Half a mile away, the rural village of Bethlehem sits in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons; half a mile further on, slightly larger Llangadog has shops and a local pub while, in the opposite direction, handsome Llandeilo (5 miles) is home to a fantastic selection of independent stores and local eateries. Visitors can enjoy adrenaline-fuelled fun in the Brecon Beacons; for a really family-friendly day out, head to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (20 miles) where you can venture underground, explore one of the world’s largest dinosaur parks and pan for gold.
