3 Bed in Cwmtaf (oc-p32979)

Set in a wonderfully scenic spot on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, this welcoming holiday home is ideal for active families and groups who want fresh air, big views and plenty to explore – with the added bonus of spa and fitness facilities just moments away at the neighbouring Nant Ddu Lodge Hotel.


Walkers and climbers will be in their element, with Pen y Fan just 4 miles away offering one of the most rewarding hikes in South Wales. Cyclists can enjoy quiet country lanes and panoramic routes straight from the door, while families looking for adrenaline-fuelled fun can head to Zip World Tower (12.5 miles) for an unforgettable day out. The lively market town of Brecon (12.5 miles) is perfect for a relaxed wander, with independent shops, a striking cathedral and its famous annual jazz festival. For gentler adventures, canal walks and paddleboarding await at Talybont-on-Usk (19 miles).


Inside, the house is bright, calm and thoughtfully laid out for family living. A spacious hallway leads to a dedicated games room for friendly competition, before opening into a cheerful, sky-blue kitchen where you can prepare hearty meals after a day outdoors. Choose between relaxed meals at the six-seater kitchen table or special gatherings in the formal dining room, which seats up to 10 guests. A useful utility room adds extra convenience.


At the end of the day, settle into the cosy living room with the TV and share stories from your adventures, or head back to the games room with its impressive 65" TV and PlayStation for evening entertainment.


Upstairs, three generous bedrooms ensure everyone has space to unwind. All feature super-king zip-and-link beds for flexible sleeping arrangements, with one room also offering large bunk beds and another including a sofa bed suitable for an adult or two children. TVs in the bedrooms add extra comfort, while two modern family bathrooms with both baths and showers make mornings easy.


Outside, the private enclosed garden is a peaceful spot for alfresco dining or evening drinks, accompanied by the gentle sound of the nearby river. Guests also enjoy access to the spa and fitness facilities at the neighbouring Nant Ddu Lodge Hotel, perfect for a post-walk swim or a relaxing treat after an active day.


Additional features include secure bike storage and private parking for up to four cars, with two spaces under a carport.


Whether you’re here for mountain walks, family adventures or a relaxing break with spa access on hand, this countryside retreat offers the best of both worlds.
