Overview

Converted Railway Wagon in Crickhowell: A Unique Stay Near the Brecon Beacons

A Railway Wagon Stay

The converted railway wagon is set within a working farmyard and offers a single-bedroom holiday home that retains its original character. The interior includes a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, oven, stovetop, and toaster, alongside a walk-in shower in the private bathroom. An electric blanket on the bed provides warmth, while strong and stable WiFi is available for guests, as there is no phone signal in the area.

Location

The property is located 20 km from Brecon Cathedral and 3.7 km from Tretower Castle & Court, placing it within easy reach of local heritage sites. Nearby attractions include Blaenllynfi Castle and Crickhowell Castle, while Llanthony Priory and Theatr Brycheiniog are each within 20 km. The Brecon Beacons National Park is accessible for walking and stargazing, and the local pub, The Farmers Arms, is a short walk away.

Outdoor Space

Guests have access to a private garden with outdoor furniture and a patio, offering seating for meals or relaxation. The outdoor area is positioned for evening sunshine and evening stargazing under a dark sky full of stars. The property is situated directly adjacent to a busy main road, with daytime traffic noise noticeable, and access is via an electrically operated gate from that road.

Interior Comforts

The compact interior of the wagon contains all necessary equipment for self-catering, including cutlery and cooking facilities. Guests have noted that the bathroom is small, with a sink that is challenging for washing crockery, and the shower water can spread across the floor. The property is heated throughout and offers free parking, with smoke alarms installed for safety.

Practical Details

Self-check-in is provided via a key from a plastic lockbox outside the property, with instructions emailed a few days before arrival. The site is non-smoking throughout, and guests have access to free toiletries in the bathroom. Cardiff Airport is 85 km away, offering a direct travel route.

“The converted railway wagon at Crickhowell offers a surprisingly comfortable and self-contained retreat, ideal for those who appreciate being truly offline amidst idyllic surroundings. Its cleverly designed interior equips you for simple meals, while ample outdoor space beckons for quiet moments, complemented by lovely walks directly from the door. This quirkily charming carriage provides a restorative escape, with the added convenience of a local pub nearby for any necessary connections.”
