Stabal y Barcud is a stunning converted barn in mid-Wales that gives you proper countryside living with modern comforts. This stone-built holiday home sits in Powys with views across rolling hills and farmland. Perfect for stargazing from your private hot tub after a day of walking the Welsh hills.
The property sits in a quiet spot with fields on all sides. Sheep graze nearby and red kites often soar overhead (that's what "Barcud" means in Welsh). Walk straight from your door onto country paths or drive 15 minutes to find small market towns. The hot tub sits on a private patio where you can sip wine while watching the sunset.
