Pwllyn, Builth Wells

Pwllyn is a 4-star stone cottage in Builth Wells, Mid Wales. This atmospheric retreat features traditional stone walls and wooden beams throughout. Perfect for stargazing from the hot tub while enjoying the countryside views that stretch in every direction. The property sits on a working farm just half a mile from the historic Llywelyn Monument in Cilmery.

The surrounding Welsh countryside offers endless opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Walk sections of the Wye Valley trail just 3 miles away, go horse-riding across rolling hills, or try watersports nearby. Dark skies make this spot incredible for astronomy lovers - no light pollution means you'll see stars like never before. Fishing spots are available on-site for those who prefer quieter pursuits.

The accommodation sleeps 6 guests across 4 bedrooms - one king-size, one double and two singles. There are three bathrooms including an en-suite. The flagstoned kitchen features a long table perfect for family meals, while the lounge has two sofas and a cosy stove in a stone hearth. The private garden with hot tub is checked daily by Richard (who knows his stuff, if you know what I mean).

Visit the Llywelyn Monument (0.5 miles), explore Builth Wells (3 miles), or venture to the visitor centre (25 miles south). The cottage is just a short walk from local shops and pubs (0.5 miles). Pwllyn can be extended by including two adjacent cottages for larger groups.
