In our family house, you will be occupying a large, well-equipped room with an en-suite bathroom. We live in an old stone chapel house built in 1867, standing slightly raised up and looking out over the village and the valley. Miles of beautiful forest and river trails await you on the doorstep: this is said to be one of the ten most desirable mountain bike destinations in Europe. At night, hear the sound of the river and the owls calling across the valley before falling asleep in comfort. In the morning, enjoy the beautiful view as you sip your tea at the table by the window.
You will have a large room with a King-size bed and full-size single day-bed. There is a table with chairs in front of the window, which looks out over the valley, and a big comfy armchair. The room is large with room to relax and unwind. The views are beautiful. The bathroom is large and well-equipped with bath and shower.
Breakfast and other meals are not provided but the room is equipped with kettle, toaster and mini fridge, plus crockery and cutlery, tea and coffee, etc.

This is the birthplace of the famous actor Richard Burton, who along with partner Elizabeth Taylor was a regular visitor back to his favourite place. A huge mural that seems to look at you, created by artist Dave ‘Gnasher’ Nash, is on the side of the Miners Arms pub where his father used to drink – and his parents met and married. It's just 50 yards from our house. It's a GREAT photo opportunity. Come and have a picture with the mural of the man himself!
Burton Bont Festival Group have planned a number of exciting events and activities in 2025 leading up to and commemorating the centenary of Richard Burton's birth and the bicentenary of the building of the iconic aqueduct, itself a five-minute walk from here. We'll add info when released.
