Neuadd Fawr in Mid Wales is an architectural gem. Grade 11 listed, it has survived in tact - with the exception of some luxurious modern creature comforts - since the reign of Charles 11 (1630-1685). Special features include an original Jacobean staircase, massive fireplaces, limewashed walls, antique oak furniture including a refectory dining table that seats ten, four-poster beds in every bedroom and rich wall hangings that create a warm and welcoming ambience. The magnificent home, which is managed by leading holiday cottage agency Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages, also boasts modern luxuries such as a Smeg fridge, smart oil-fired Aga, Sky TV, DVD player, dishwasher, power showers and BBQ. Set in an unspoilt rural location, with riding, walking and fly fishing on the doorstep, Neuadd Fawr can comfortably accommodate eight people in four double bedrooms. Or there’s Felindre Manor near Hay-on-Wye with its fluted pillars, five foot high Renaissance fireplace and minstrels gallery and fine, oak panelling. There is also a resident housekeeper who lives in the grounds of the house. Owner and manager of Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages, Elizabeth Daniels, said: “We have a number of large properties available that would make an ideal location for a house party, or special getaway for a family or group of friends.” “Just three hours from London, the Brecon Beacons really is closer than you think. Many visitors want to take advantage of the fabulous location, local produce and great pubs and restaurants.” Other grand properties include Buckland Mill situated on the banks of the picturesque river Usk; Radnor Arms, a Grade 11 listed medieval hall house near Hay-on-Wye; Blacksmiths House, a sixteenth century property close to Brecon with oak beams, flagstone floors and huge open fires.
