This 4-bedroom house is a pinnacled gothic chapel lovingly converted into a warm family home in Glasbury, Mid Wales. Sitting on the banks of the River Wye and overlooking the village green, this is no ordinary holiday let. It's been used as a gallery and creative space with a rotation of artworks twice a year and even featured on Channel 5's Holiday Homes In The Sun.

Glasbury sits on a four-mile stretch of the River Wye between the village and Hay-on-Wye. Wild swimming, kayaking, mountain biking, climbing, fishing and horse riding are all on your doorstep. The Bont village beach is a short walk away. The Begwyns 580 acres of National Trust hills are close by.

The chapel sleeps eight across four bedrooms. There are two king-size rooms (one with en-suite) and two zip-and-link rooms configurable as super-king or twin. Three bathrooms serve the whole group.

Hay-on-Wye (4 miles, 10 mins) hosts the famous International Book Festival. Brecon Beacons National Park is under 30 minutes away. The Globe at Hay and Hay Cinema Bookshop are both worth a visit.

This stay suits groups and families who want space, character and proper outdoor adventure. Three bathrooms, a long dining table and a garden with seating make it genuinely practical too.
