Crickhowell, Brecon Beacons | Sleeps up to 6

Ten years ago, the sale of an enchanting wreck of stone cottages captured the imagination of a former local who made the cross-country journey from London to attend its auction.

Set in sixty glorious acres and cradled by the arms of the Black Mountains, this was the home in which Horatio Clare wrote his heart-stirring title 'Running for the Hills'. Now, this luxury farmhouse gives friends and families the chance to run away to the very same house for hot tub stargazing, evenings tucked up by the fire and a true mountain getaway experience.
