Brecon Beacons walkers paradise

Avalon Nook is located in the heart of the Brecon Beacons; a short walk gets you right into the hills. Arty & cosy with open fire, record player, LPs, telescope, Chromecast, books, games and good local pubs. Owned by best-selling writer/forager. NB we love dogs, but they are not allowed as my own dog doesn't like it! The space Fancy browsing from a vast range of books and settling down in a comfy, throne-like chair, in front of an open fire, to read for a while? Or perhaps you fancy sitting outside with a glass of wine or a chilled beer, enjoying views over acres of rolling hills, red kites circling lazily overhead? If so, Avalon Nook is the place for you. Technically speaking for AirBnB purposes an apartment, in reality, as a recent guest put it, Avalon Nook is an entire house. Situated on two storeys, downstairs is a large, cosy room with an open fire, sofas, a TV and lots of books and games as well as a record player and a selection of vinyl for you to play with. There's also a conservatory with a drinks cooler and basic cooking facilities, with a tap available just outside the door, and a door into the extensive - and very beautiful - gardens. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, both with double beds, a sparkly bathroom and a quirky kitchen/diner, with 4 halogen hobs and featuring an immaculate and original 1950s sink unit, next to the larger of the two bedrooms. In addition, there is a telescope available for the use of our guests. Being slightly away from the main village means that there's no light pollution here, and the night skies are truly breathtaking; it's for good reason that the Brecon Beacons National Park was recently made the first Dark Skies Reserve in the UK. There are also yoga mats for you to borrow it you're so inclined! Guest access The entire Nook is yours, as well as access to the wonderful gardens with views of the Brecon Beacons. In the summertime, you can sit under the maple tree and have breakfast. At any time of year, the veranda behind the house is sheltered enough to sit out at night and enjoy the stars...or even the snow if you wrap up warm! Avalon Nook is a walkers' paradise since the lane running past the house is the main route onto Pen y Fan and the glorious Cwm Oergham valley, a National Trust reserve as well as part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Other things to note We have one dog, a very friendly border collie named Lis. If you'd like to meet her she’d love it, but if not, that's fine too. She is not allowed to access the Nook. Dogs are NOT allowed, sadly. We have high speed broadband and Chromecast, which means you can stream TV programmes and films from your iPhone, iPad or laptop. It's very easy to use; all you need to do is download the app. We also have stacks of DVDs in the large Chinese cupboard for you to use as well as a record player with a selection of vinyl albums.
