“An utterly idyllic landscape! Superbly equipped and beautifully finished made this a home from home. It is with heavy hearts that we leave ‘The Laundry’ however it is only a matter of time before we’re back and hopefully for longer. It has been complete luxury and the memories will last a lifetime.”
Peter & Alexandra Davies’ have tastefully converted the five outbuildings in their extensive grounds into five luxurious self-catering cottages called The Ty Mawr Collection, comprising five unique self-catering cottages. Ideal for a family break or that special romantic hide-away, all are graded five star by the Welsh Tourist Board and offer the very best in luxury living.
Originally from Brecon, Peter met Alexandra in London where he was living at the time, and both resolved to invest in a property that they could develop together. They began their pursuit for the ideal investment property and came across the beautiful Cadw Grade II* Georgian mansion through an online property search. They could see the huge potential Ty Mawr had to offer and both fell in love with its location in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. They spent a year extensively renovating the derelict outbuildings, converting them into four unique one bedroom cottages and one two bedroomed cottage, opening for business in September 2013.
The names of the cottages reflect their former use and each has its own distinct interior design with private patios and stunning garden areas (perfect for dog lovers). The cottages are set in a huge 15 acre enclosed parkland with its own stream, perfect for guests to roam and walk their dogs. There is a private entrance and a guest car park at the rear of the cottages.
The five cottages are: The Bothy – 2 bedrooms, The Cottage – 1 bedroom, The Coach – 1 bedroom, The Dairy – 1 bedroom, The Laundry – 1 bedroom. Each is decorated to the highest standard and complemented with elegant furnishings, cosy log burners with an unlimited supply of logs, scented candles, fluffy gowns and crisp, white linen. Perfect for the great outdoors or just curled up in front of the roaring log burners with a glass (or two) of wine, these cottages will delight whatever the season.
The Ty Mawr Collection is on the outskirts of the pretty village of Llanfrynach and only three hours from London, just five minutes off the A40 and within easy driving distance of the market towns of Brecon, Hay-on- Wye and Crickhowell. There’s plenty to do in the surrounding area, whether you want hill walking, low level walking, biking, horse riding, fishing, sailing, historic buildings, events, local pubs, fine dining, spa treatments or just relaxing in your perfect cottage. Bike and canoe hire are available locally along with horse riding and fishing. Plus there are an oasis of quality restaurants nearby such as The Felin Fach Griffin, The White Swan (just three minutes walk), Three Horseshoes in Groesffordd, The Walnut Tree, The Hardwick and Llangoed Hall.
Guests come from all over Wales and the UK, with many visitors returning each year – and some staying in a different cottage for each visit. Open all year around; change over days are Friday and Monday with short breaks Friday – Monday 3 nights and Monday – Friday 4 nights.
