Overview
Property code: 51153

Well placed on the edge of the National Park within easy reach of Brecon, you could not be better placed, an absolute haven for fun seekers with access to the Brecon Beacons for walking and cycling and for the little more adventurous, rock climbing, abseiling and canoeing. Other exciting attractions nearby include Dan-yr-Ogof Caves, the National Coal Museum 'Big Pit' and The Brecon Mountain Railway. For a more peaceful day, take in one of the many towns or villages of the National Park, Hay-on-Wye famed for its weekly market and May festival, Crickhowell a small Georgian town nestled within the Usk Valley and Abergavenny a bustling market town with Roman origins considered to be the gateway to Wales and the National Park. For foodies and festival goers there’s an all year-round calendar with something to suit all tastes.

Take a minute to enjoy the views before stepping into the covered porch, the perfect place to leave your well-worn walking boots behind, before stepping into the lounge/diner, an inviting area for all that come and stay, with a warming wood burner, smart TV and traditional furnishings that further enhance its style. For a simple supper after a day’s exploring, step into the cottage kitchen which is well-equipped with electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. When it’s time for bed, climb the cottage style stairs where you will find a double bedroom enjoying views across the countryside and one single bedroom with trundle mattress which can be made into a king-size on request. There is a bathroom with shower over the bath and WC on this floor.

Step outside, and enjoy the open aspect of the gardens with garden furniture and BBQ, perfect to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

Beautiful cottage and garden. We were happy and comfortable there. The owner was very helpful when my satnav stopped working and I needed directions. Found out later that satnav is fine if you switch from 5G to 3G.

Beautiful cottage with a stunning view from the garden . It was everything you needed for a really comfortable stay The only downside was the very narrow road to get to it which was ok unless you meet something coming the other way

Comfortable and well equipped cottage , I dont think there was anything that wasnt provided or thought of. Fabulous location with views to die for and the added bonus of a gloriously warm and sunny week . Great garden for the Yorkies and the bonus of a summer house .

My mum and I stayed with my two dogs (golden retrievers). It's a cosy cottage with a lovely large back garden for the dogs and a lovely view across to the mountains. We even had cows in the field next to the back garden one evening! A wood burner in the lounge and comfy sofa and chairs made for a very relaxing weekend. Good location but be preparedRead more for single track roads with passing places (like most of rural Wales!). Lovely host too. Hide

The quiet location and beautiful views are wonderful. The wood burner makes the cottage toastie warm. Very comfortable and relaxing. Had to contact owner because the fridge broke down. She was really helpful and friendly, had a working fridge a few hours later and a new fridge/freezer within 24hrs. Would be very happy to book another break here.
