UNBELIEVABLE: This victorian stable is now the perfect cosy christmas cottage - The Untold Story

Sitting room in coverted stables with wooden panel from stable stall and blue velvet sofa.

Hafod y Llyn cottage is the perfect place to escape, especially at Christmas, when the mountain backdrops of the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains are breathtaking. The cottage, set in a cobbled yard, was once part of the stables for Treberfydd, a Grade I-listed Victorian country house built in a medieval Gothic style, with turrets, gargoyles, and lots of leaded and stained glass windows.

Treberfydd and its surrounding buildings were built by current owner Sally Raike's great-great-great grandfather, Robert Raikes, in 1852. Sally, who spent weekends and school holidays here as a child, moved to the cottage full time with her family in 2016.
