Absolutely idyllic, high up in the Llanthony Valley, Castle Farm sits in the heart of the Black Mountains in South Wales. It's a spacious self-catering family holiday home and cottage in an absolutely stunning and private location. Whether it is a weekend in the country or to simply escape to a wilderness away from the city, this is the perfect venue.

The 40-acre farm stands in an exceptionally private location, with direct access to the Brecon Beacons National Park behind the house, its own stretch of river for paddling in, nature walks and acres of woods.

The house consists of a lovely old farmhouse sleeping up to 14. There is also a separate cottage available for up to 12 more. The large farmhouse is available on an exclusive basis, by the week, weekend or mid week break.

This is a fabulous place for lovers of the great outdoors, with superb hill walking outside the door. There's also a riding outfit nearby for anyone who wants to go trekking. Foodies will be in heaven, pottering around the famous market at Abergavenny and trying restaurants such as The Walnut Tree and The Hardwick. For the more literary, Hay-on-Wye is seven miles away.

Castle Farm is self-catering, but catering can easily be arranged. The dining room in the farmhouse can seat up to 28 on two tables. The light and airy kitchen has a breakfast table to seat up to 10 and is well equipped to cater for large groups. There is an Aga plus an electric oven and a counter top hob, two huge fridge freezers and two dishwashers.
