KING Charles’ posh holiday home comes complete with its own ballroom and a dining table which can seat 16 people – and you can stay there as well.

The downside is that it will cost a cool £2,400-a-week.

The picturesque cottage in Brecon Beacons, which cost £1.2million, was bought through the Duchy of Cornwall.

And Prince William took it over after the Queen’s death last year.

Charles purchased the property called Llwynywermod in 2007, when he was the Prince of Wales, and had it restored using traditional techniques.

The monarch usually stays at the three-bedroom cottage for a week or two every summer.

But Wills now reportedly wants to rent it out as a holiday home.

Three nearby properties owned by the Duchy are already let out.

Llwynywermod, in the village of Myddfai in Carmarthenshire, comes with a Grade II-listed barn attached to the main house.

It serves as a dining room for up to 16 guests and is set in a sizeable 192 acres of countryside.

It was restored by architect Craig Hamilton while the interiors were managed by the Queen’s sister, Annabel Elliot.

It also features custom-made carpets and a sustainable wood-chip boiler.

Many of the doors inside were made from Duchy of Cornwall oak.

The carpet in the barn is reportedly based on an eighteenth-century Welsh blanket design, and was woven by D & S Bamford.

A reed-bed filtration system is being installed, as is rainwater storage, according to reports.

Elliot is said to have used predominantly Welsh furniture, textiles and trinkets inside.

She also is thought to have travelled the country in search of antique Welsh pieces including quilts and glazed-earthenware.

It’s believed Charles stayed at the cottage in 2021 following the funeral of his father Prince Philip, so he could mourn privately.
