Builth Wells House | A Large Country House, perfect for friends & family gatherings.

7 Bedroom House in Builth Wells

Situated in the beautiful and picturesque Wye Valley, Abernant House has elegant and comfortable accommodation for up to 18 people.
This impressive Edwardian country house has three spacious reception rooms including a comfortable drawing room, with Bechstein concert standard grand piano, library and an oak-panelled TV room.
The large kitchen, with a four-oven Aga, and dining room at the centre of the house are warm, inviting and great for entertaining. The dining room table seats 14, making it the perfect setting for a special celebration.
There are seven bedrooms, five of them very large with super king-sized double beds, along with two smaller twin rooms. The master bedroom has its own private balcony looking over the treetops towards the River Wye, and three other bedrooms also have balconies overlooking the garden and with stunning views down the Wye valley.
Standing in glorious mature gardens and some five-and-a-half acres intersected by the Nant stream and sweeping down to the River Wye, the house looks east across the valley to the fabled Aberedw Rocks.
The garden is flat alongside the house and slopes down to the banks of the Nant and the Wye, on which there is a private stone beach with listed fishing rights for guests. The garden has a swing on a giant copper beech tree and a stone barbecue shaded by its branches; perfect for summer garden parties and alfresco dining.
The house is only four miles from the market town of Builth Wells, location of the Royal Welsh Showground. Hay-on-Wye, world-famous for its array of book shops and the renowned Hay Literary Festival, is within a 20-minute drive, as is the cathedral county town of Brecon.
The surrounding countryside is some of the most beautiful in the Welsh Borders, with the stunning landscapes of both the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons in easy reach. There are so many things to do in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty: walking, cycling, mountain biking, canoeing, horse riding and pony trekking. The area is famous for its salmon and trout fishing.
During high season (July and August) our minimum stay is seven nights, running from Friday to Friday.
Abernant House has an intriguing history. The previous owner’s grandfather was Lord Caccia who was in the diplomatic service from the 1930s and then ambassador to the USA during the 1960s. He retired to be Provost of Eton College from 1970 to 1977.
Harold Caccia's father was Antonio Caccia, who was translator at the Treaty of Versailles. A rare copy of the Treaty was found in the house about 10 years ago!

Summary: We were slightly disappointed with the overall presentation of the property. It is a lovely, interesting house and has been very classy in its time and its in a lovely location. There is lots of room for a large family group and we did like it, but it is looking a bit tired and has some problems which could easily be fixed. The heating wasn’t working but the owner left us electric heaters, which was ok as it wasn’t too cold. The AGA only had one shelf in one of the 4 ovens. One toilet and one shower had broken locks. There wasn’t any hot water in the afternoon and we had to boil kettles to do the washing up. All that said, the house has a lovely feel about it and we had a great few days there.

Summary: We loved the house - lovely spacious well equipped kitchen, and delightful large lounge with with piano and views over the garden. Also a cosy snug, and dining room. The gardens and views were beautiful, and plenty of walking for us and our dogs. We had a few problems with the plumbing and heating, Louise was on hand and very helpful in sorting them out. It was a great house for a large gathering.

Summary: The owner has been extremely responsive to my questions bearing in mind we booked 15 months ago. Christmas decorations made a world of difference. The VRBO website less straightforward to negotiate. Great difficulty paying the balance. Happy to discuss off line.

Summary: Lovely home and grounds. Great to get together and enjoy time with the family! The river and scenery is gorgeous! Lots of space and great for the kids. The photos of the outside of the house online does not reflect fully what the property looks like now. The inside of the property is very spacious and was clean. The property owner and house manager were fantastic, very helpful and friendly! We would definitely go again!

Three families of 6 adults & 4 children, except for one night, when Dorcas cooked us an excellent celebratory meal. for 3 more family members. Everything you could want is here, stunning well-equipped. kitchen, comfortable beds, library, beautiful garden and the River Wye. The rope swings were a great hit with the young. Abernant House totally made our holiday the success that it was. Thank you Louise for a spotless house & Steve for letting us stay, it was a very special treat. .

Summary: The house is as described and suited our needs perfectly. It needs a little TLC in places, but certainly had the wow factor. The location is stunning. A little river runs through the garden at the bottom of the hill, so it was easy to keep the kids away from it, unless the adults were there to supervise. We had an evening catered for us too & that was the icing on the cake. Steve was an incredibly responsive host with lots of information. Thank you for having us.

Summary: Wonderful all of my family thought the whole experience could not have been bettered in any aspect. It was a belated 80th birthday celebration and the first time all of us could be together for ages. Compliments to our host and his team also to Dorcas Cresswell who catered a great dinner for us.

Summary: We had a lovely long weekend celebrating a 60th birthday at Abernant House. More than enough room for the 10 of us to relax and celebrate. A wonderful garden with the River Wye river running along the bottom. Steve was extremely helpful and accommodated certain requests for us. Only slight negative is the proximity to the A road running along the front, but we knew it was there when booking so no surprises on arrival - just that it was tricky turning out onto the road when busy.
