Occupying an idyllic position in the hamlet of Old Radnor, nestled in the Welsh countryside, Little Harp is a charming 17th-century cottage. Having undergone sensitive renovations as well as an extension, the house is now characterised by the simple, pared-back interiors contained within its stone walls. The village is in a wonderful position, near the Radnor Valley and surrounded by ancient woodland and rolling open fields. Despite its wonderfully rural location, it is within easy reach of the popular towns of Hay-on-Wye, Presteigne, Kington and other quaint villages.
Setting the Scene
Little Harp is a 17th-century stone cottage surrounded by private gardens. Its neighbours in the small village of Old Radnor are sheep fields, a Grade I-listed church and the famous Harp Inn, recently named the ‘Best Country Pub in the UK’ by The Good Pub Guide.
The beautiful Welsh Marches encompasses a wide range of landscapes: amazing river valleys, rugged but mineral-rich hills and ridges, and flat fertile plains. This diversity, and the relatively unspoilt nature of the countryside, have made it perennially popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Artists and writers have also long been drawn to the area for its rich history and enchanting scenery. For more information, please see the History section.
