Skirrid View is a single-storey retreat for two set on a working farm in Pantygelli near Abergavenny in the Brecon Beacons. Managed by Avril, this peaceful rural property sits in a spectacular corner of the national park with breathtaking views of The Skirrid right from the garden terrace. No hot tub here, but the firepit and built-in charcoal BBQ more than make up for it.

The setting is genuinely special. You're surrounded by open countryside with abundant wildlife and the Sugar Loaf walking trail starts directly from the front door. Offa's Dyke Path is just one mile away. This is serious walking country.

Inside, the single-storey layout works perfectly for couples. The well-equipped kitchen has an induction hob, dishwasher and washer-dryer. The bedroom has a zip-and-link king-size bed (twin on request). The contemporary bathroom has a separate shower and bath. The lounge opens onto the private garden terrace via double doors.

Abergavenny Castle is 2.5 miles away. Llanthony Abbey ruins are 8 miles. Crickhowell market town is 8 miles and Hay-on-Wye with its famous bookshops is 21 miles.

Skirrid View suits couples who want real countryside without compromise. Direct trail access, farm setting and stunning valley views make this a genuinely special base in the Brecon Beacons.
