About The Castle
The Castle, also known as Castle Farm, is a private hill farm, perched in the wilderness of the Black Mountains, part of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
The property has a lot of literary history. It has inspired poets like William and Dorothy Wordsworth, David Jones, and writer Bruce Chatwin. The accommodation is very flexible, with room for up to 28 guests when the Farmhouse, Cottage and Granary are all booked. The Cottage and Granary are optional extras; confirm which buildings your quote includes. The main house has 5 bedrooms that sleep 14 guests, the adjacent Cottage and Granary provide an additional 4 bedrooms and 14 bed spaces.
The farm has 40 acres of private land, and it has direct access to the Black Mountains and a private stretch of river that is great for paddling. The interior spaces have been carefully planned to keep the property’s original character while making it comfortable to stay in. The Main house, the Cottage, and the Granary all work well together for groups of all sizes and types.
The property is great for outdoor activities because it is easy to access hill walks, places to barbecue by the river, and nearby places to ride.
Whatever your reason for renting a holiday home, The Castle provides a beautiful and cosy home in the middle of the wilderness and only 3 hours from London!
