Glan-yr-afon - Self-catering house in Carmarthenshire
Llandovery, SA20 0TF, Carmarthenshire
Wales,
Regno Unito
Deep in the Cambrian Mountains, this 300-year-old stone cottage was once a working woollen mill and echoes of the past still ring in the whitewashed walls and crooked ceilings. The house, which has been lovingly restored by owners Tanya and Duncan, is bright, warm and spacious. But the real joy lies outside in the rambling garden with views over the wild western edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Sip your morning coffee on the terrace and soak up the birdsong, take a bracing dip in the crystal clear stream which rushes along at the bottom of the garden, then jump into the wood-fired hot tub to warm up. There are countless walks to be had in every direction. Tanya knows the area like the back of her hand and will happily share the inside track on her native land.
When night falls, gather around the fire pit and marvel at the brilliance of the stars before tumbling into bed and drifting off to the soothing sounds of the river outside.
