Enjoy the pure luxury of a plush self-catering manor house, where you can be left to your own devices, or call in the caterers and house staff to pamper you and your friends to your hearts' content. The Breconshire Estate was purchased by Sir David Evans Bevan in the early to mid 20th Century, when it was used as a shooting lodge to entertain friends and business associates. Having been completely renovated and redecorated over the last three years, the manor still showcases its 17th Century farmhouse roots and a blend of Victorian and Georgian architecture.
