Pipistrelle

Pipistrelle is a lovely, quirky and characterful property at the far end of a long barn conversion, offering holidaymakers a private slice of unspoiled Welsh countryside. The cottage, with its neighbours, is set on the owners’ smallholding and surrounded by fantastic rural views. Guests have shared access to 6.5 acres of the adjacent uncultivated meadow, with picnic benches down by the River Annell. This lovingly restored 17th century barn offers accommodation for four, with underfloor heating downstairs, radiators upstairs, interesting original features including beams, wall ties, exposed stone walling etc. Limited WiFi is available (not suitable for downloading large files, streaming films etc).
