Staffed country house sleeping up to 18, perfect for special occasions with family and friends, in the Brecon Beacons

Holiday Rental for Groups of Families and Friends.
Tall John's House, Llangasty, Brecon, Powys, sleeps 10-18 in 11 bedrooms.

Exclusive use of our beautiful Georgian Manor House right in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park means you will feel as if you are in your own country house and can enjoy your time with family, friends or work colleagues.

Tall John's House provides a team of staff to look after you but they are not intrusive. They are on hand if you need them but otherwise you are left to enjoy your manor house experience.

The house stands in its own grounds and looks across its land to the Black Mountains - Llangorse Lake is a short walk away. The area is simply wonderful! No noise or light pollution, so you will see the stars (if the weather is kind) and Breconshire is listed as one of the safest places in the UK.

The generous bedrooms are divided between the main house and the old stables just a few steps across the lawn. There are 7 double bedrooms (2 are zip and link so can be divided to make twins) and 4 single bedrooms. All bedrooms have their own bath or shower rooms.

There is a billiard table in the library in the main house and also a table tennis table, sauna and small fitness room in a separate building.

A super breakfast is included in your rental but our housekeeper/cook team are delighted to offer you any other meals you would like. This arrangement gives you the flexibility to eat out locally in the good variety of pubs and restaurants nearby or enjoy an evening in looked after by our team. You are welcome to bring your own alcohol and we do not charge corkage.

We can also offer you a fantastic barn for bigger parties, weddings or yoga, pilates or indoor activities - please let us know if this is of interest to you.

As so many people come to enjoy the splendid countryside we are happy to welcome well-behaved dogs!

There are so many things to do in the area - the walking is as good as anywhere in the UK but there are lots of places to visit and activities to enjoy within easy reach as well.
