Blaencwm is a luxurious and beautifully furnished cottage, complete with a wood fired hot tub where you can relax in breathtaking natural surroundings and get away from it all.
Boasting three large bedrooms, two bathrooms, two open fires, a traditional Aga, luxury linen, deep feather down filled duvets, toiletries from REN Skincare, fresh flowers, Wi-Fi throughout, two cast iron baths and a shower head
If you can bear to leave the luxury of your cottage, you have some wonderful places on your doorstep, with Hay on Wye, the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons to name but a few. Outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking and horse riding are ten a penny and within easy reach you can also find yourself in ancient castles and wonderful gardens. If you don’t want to be left to your own devices, we can provide you with chefs, butler services, local produce, grocery shopping, wine and drinks, a washing up service, a chauffeur or taxi service, a child minder, stabling and photographers. We can also organise a whole host of local activities, from guided walks and foraging to fishing, canoeing and clay pigeon shooting.
Getting There:
The approach is suitably exciting: a narrow track winds its way into the little cwm from the Mountain Road through fields of ponies and sheep. Low slung sports cars are not recommended and during bad weather conditions in the winter we can help you there in our 4×4. Please see the website for detailed driving directions. Be warned that using a Satnav is not reliable and the postcode will take you to the wrong location!
