Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Llandeilo (7mls N), Carmarthenshire

Hidden on seven acres of idyllic smallholding is this beautiful, converted barn in the Brecon Beacons. This romantic holiday home boasts cycle trails and super walks from the front door making it an ideal choice for two explorers wishing to see the nooks and crannies of Wales. This stylish hideaway was once a pigsty, and although it has been expertly renovated, much of its former self has been maintained, including cosy exposed beams and original stone.

Step inside and find yourself in the country-style kitchen, which features everything you'll need to whip up tasty meals. On balmy days, enjoy a spot of al fresco dining in the enclosed garden while you admire the rolling view. The lounge is a light and bright space to unwind at the end of any fun-filled day, especially if you want to hunker down in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire.

A delightful king-size bedroom is nestled within the eaves of the property on the first floor, and the en-suite shower room finishes the property. Carry your machine-made, foamy cappuccino out to the garden each morning and ease into the day with birdsong. Though it may feel remote, it's an ideal location to explore this spectacular part of Wales.

Llandeilo (7.5 miles) is a short drive and provides high-quality eateries and plenty of shops to stock up the cupboards, while Dinefwr Park (9 miles) is a wonderful day out for those seeking historical monuments and trips back in time. Enjoy the many glorious trails available from the holiday home or hop in the car and make your way to Talley Woodlands (1.5 miles), where you can discover spectacular, waymarked trails that meander through forestry, stony tracks and grassy paths. There's even a dedicated picnic spot for tucking into delicious sarnies.
