Property code: BN079

This delightful cottage is set on the sunny side of Tor-y-Foel mountain, a beautiful spot within the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Blaen-y-Glyn waterfalls are just 11 miles away, and the pretty village of Llangynidr (2.5 miles along the lane) has a couple of good pubs. The Monmouth and Brecon Canal passes through the village, raised on its way by five locks. This beautiful area is ideal for boat trips, bike rides, steam train journeys and long country walks – the fairy glen walk along the river is truly magical. With Crickhowell just 7 miles away, the cottage is ideally situated for reaching Brecon (12 miles) and attractions including Llangorse Lake (8 miles) and Tretower Castle (5.5 miles).

The entrance to the cottage provides a air source heat pump which is ideal for drying wet clothes and is also useful storage space for boots, bikes. A step down takes you into the cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner - a lovely space to relax in. At the end of the day you can curl up on the sofa in front of the wood burner, which is set in an impressive stone fireplace, and catch up with a good book or watch a movie on the TV/DVD. There’s also a choice of board games and jigsaws but please ask owner. You can share a favourite meal in the dining area by the window. The kitchen area has two ring hob and microwave with grill, roast and convection functions, slow cooker, an air fryer and fridge. The bathroom is also on the ground floor, complete with a shower over the bath and a WC. Going upstairs, the charming, light and spacious bedroom features a double bed, a single bed ideal for a child, and there is also a travel cot. The cottage offers a choice of artwork and exposed oak ceiling beams.

Stepping outside, you can sit back with a glass of wine in the evening and admire the far-reaching views from the pretty patio area. The cottage is set in a delightful secluded mountainside location which shares a courtyard with the owner’s organic maintained garden, so you can enjoy the peace without being totally isolated. You can also take advantage of the home-grown organic fruit, herbs and vegetables when in season.

Subject to availability, adjacent to the cottage is a large studio space which can be  available to guests for art activities, indoor exercise or complete quiet.

We have stayed in this cottage three times and highly recommend for those who want to get away from it all. Its location is stunning, the lane is generally quiet (farm traffic) and the access directly onto the hills is great - plenty of walks/trail running/cycling available. The cottage itself is comfortable, cosy and basic - excellent heating and Read moregreat beds. The recent addition of an air fryer has been very helpful in speeding up cooking as the kitchen is quite basic. Owners are lovely. Hide

Really quaint cottage up a single track lane, very peaceful with lovely owners who live opposite and are so friendly and helpful. The cottage was perfect for the two of us and our dog and was a great base to explore the villages, reservoirs etc round it. It is very isolated so I was glad I packed plenty of food and the air fryer was so handy. ThereRead more is a pub about 2 miles away and a great little shop/cafe in the village. Hide

Great location in a valley some 2 miles from the village of llangynidr. Ideal for peace and quiet or for the more energetic some good walks from the location up the lane and footpaths . There are OS maps available, to plan your trips into the mountains.

A lovely cottage with the right amount of basic needs for a base to explore the Brecon Beacons. Although the road leading to the place is a single track, which can be daunting the drive, the views and the peace and quiet of the area make it worth the journey.

We booked very last minute for a long weekend away and we couldn't thank Pip and Gil enough. The cottage was exactly as advertised and they were very helpful and welcoming. It is in a beautiful area and was so peaceful. There were useful guides available in the cottage and all the amenities we needed. Would stay again.
