The Old Laundry (Y Golchdy) at Black Mountain Escapes

Romantic Countryside Hideaway

Once a working laundry room, The Old Laundry (Y Golchdy) has been lovingly restored into a charming retreat near the Black Mountain, within easy reach of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. It combines the simplicity of a shepherd’s hut with the character of a period cottage, offering the perfect setting for a peaceful couples’ escape.

Inside, the space blends rustic textures with handcrafted details — exposed beams, Welsh reclaimed flooring, and a brick fireplace with a crackling log burner. The hand-built kitchen provides everything you need for a relaxed self-catering stay, while the bespoke double cabin bed sits beneath a skylight for stargazing nights.

Step outside to the large veranda and take in panoramic views across the valley. With its hot tub, outdoor dining area, and peaceful setting, The Old Laundry offers comfort, seclusion, and timeless rural charm. Guests also have access to equine facilities on site (sorry, no dogs).

A perfect countryside hideaway for two, combining warmth, style, and a true sense of place.
