Plas Glansevin Mansion is a Georgian listed building set in 10 acres of grounds, 3 hours from Heathrow yet in one of the most beautiful parts of the country; the foothills of the Brecon Beacons. The mansion has been carefully renovated, sleeping 34/39 with most bedrooms en suite. It's a building of great character, ideal for large groups with something to celebrate. The swimming pool, sauna and putting green complement the historical features, and all around are castles and waterfalls, inspirational walks in the mountains; Wales at its very best.

The Coach House accommodates 17 (due to lounge and dining room space) but it has 23 beds and we allow up to 23 with no extra charge. It is 50 yards from the mansion and can be rented on its own or with the mansion to extend the number of bedrooms so that capacity is 62 for both properties and is eminently suitable for large groups.
