This modern rustic cottage provides a wonderful self-catering vacation retreatย surrounded by rolling hills and mountains inย Herefordshire,ย United Kingdom. To access the home, you must travel down a winding mountain road in the secluded Olchon Valley, which offers breathtaking views of the Brecon Beacons mountain range. The home itself, which dates back to the 15th Century, has been completely restored. A series of old stone farm buildings were lovingly brought back to life in the 1960s, now offering a more rough-luxe aesthetic. The home offers tranquility to those looking for a restful vacation in the countryside. Highlights includes outdoor fire pits, a croquet lawn, a wood-fired hot tub, sauna, an in-home theater and soaking tubs for each bedroom to relax. There is so much to do outdoors, the bathtub will feel heavenly to soak in during the evening… so will the hot tub for that matter!
