Ty Sinsir, Tretower. Castle & Mountain Views, Wood Fired Hot Tub, Huge Fire Pit | Cottage in Crickhowell

Set in the heart of the National Park within the peaceful hamlet of Tretower, this detached 17th century home has recently been lovingly restored and beautifully finished with heirlooms, antiques, oil paintings and market finds. It offers a great base for family and friends to relax on leather chesterfields by the woodburing stove, around the huge kitchen table or tucked under welsh blankets around the massive outdoor fire-pit. This is not your bland, beige, boring, tired holiday home. This home has style, panache, glamour and quirk coming out of every nook and cranny. More recently a gorgeous Wood Fired Hot Tub was added in September 2023 which has been enormously popular with our guests of all ages.
