A cosy retreat in the Beacons with castle views

A warm welcome awaits you here in this tranquil corner of the Brecon Beacons National Park. You have the use of your own cosy annexe of the house. Through its private entrance there's a hall, double bedroom, shower room and sitting/breakfast room with a food preparation area. There's private seating outside and you are free to enjoy the garden and its spectacular castle views. Superb walks from the door. Convenient for Llandeilo, the National Botanic Garden, Aberglasney and Dinefwr Park (NT). The guest annexe is separate and self-contained. We provide you with homemade cake/biscuits and all the ingredients for a tasty breakfast, including Welsh produce and Mary's homemade marmalade and jam. The food preparation/dining area contains a dining table and chairs, fridge (with small freezer compartment), microwave, toaster, kettle and egg cooker. There is no cooker/hob or kitchen sink; we provide you with a washing-up bowl/draining mat and stand, washing-up liquid, tea towel, etc. If you would prefer, we can put your crockery and cutlery through our dishwasher and return everything to you. There's guest WiFi and a table to work at if you'd like to, or you can curl up on the sofa with a good book. Otherwise you can watch the TV or a DVD if you prefer or even play the piano! Guest access: Guests have ample free parking about 25 metres from the entrance to the annexe. For cyclists we have secure, lockable space for your bicycles. There are three steps down from the driveway, which is part hardstanding, part grass and part gravel. A level, paved path takes you to the private entrance to the annexe, where there are three narrow steps up through the door. Once inside, the accommodation is all on one level. There is a single step of 20cm/8" into the shower. We live in the main part of the house and will be here to welcome you and give you the key. In an emergency you'll be able to contact us. This is the perfect place to get away from it all and unwind. The nearby castle, a national treasure, is fascinating because of its history and contribution to Welsh heritage. It's well worth a visit, not least because of the incredible views from its ramparts. There are numerous walks from the house, in a variety of terrain, including bluebell woods, moorland, gentler pastures and riverbanks. We are next to the Beacons Way long-distance path. Brecon Beacons National Park has some of the highest quality dark skies in the UK and on a clear night the views of the Milky Way from our garden are wonderful. The bustling, ancient market town of Llandeilo is a 10-minute car journey away. It attracts many visitors who enjoy its cafes, pubs, restaurants and gift shops. It also offers a wide variety of places to obtain all the basics, eg supermarkets, post office, pharmacies, bank and petrol station. Slightly further away (around 45 minutes) are some stunning beaches, including Llansteffan near Carmarthen and Cefn Sidan at Pembrey Country Park. The nearest public transport can be found in Llandeilo or Ammanford - bus or train. There are also local taxi services. Cyclists can enjoy using a number of routes locally. For your own convenience, having a car is by far the easiest option.
