Pack your hiking boots and get out and explore once you’ve made yourself at home at this bolthole. 14 miles from home, the Blaen y Glyn Waterfalls are a great place to take a picnic you’ve rustled together in the fantastic kitchen. Find tumbling falls, cross bridges and enjoy the sights on this easy walk. Bike Park Wales is 20 miles from your door and a great place for thrill seekers to spend the day getting muddy.

Arrive up the winding driveway and marvel at the lovely open interior of this charming cottage. The open-plan living space is kept warm by the central wood burner which throws heat into all areas of the large room. Enjoy a cup of tea at the breakfast bar before stepping into the lovely oak kitchen area to cook up a feast. Plenty of storage space means you can cook with ease and plate up tasty dishes at the dining table with plenty of room for two to eat. Curl up on the sofa or pick a chair and unwind in front of the TV. Floor to ceiling windows let the natural light flood in creating a calming ambience for you to soak up. When it’s time to rest your head make your way into the bedroom where a double bed awaits and the en-suite shower room with double sized shower is inviting after days spent out and about exploring.

Outside, you'll find a patio with a BBQ which is the perfect spot for al fresco dinners and drinks on a warm summer's evening.

Cottage was idyllic with absolutely gorgeous views. Fantastic location and everything you needed at cottage. Even had a white horse pop down the path at the end of the garden to say hello every day. Within reach if some lovely country walks. Crickhowell just up the road. Would highly recommend the Dragon Inn on the high street, lovely food.

Great cottage for views and lovely walks in the area. However, the walk suggested from the cottage down to the river, is not suitable for very large dogs as the gap next to the stile is very narrow. This shouldnt be a problem for most though (our dog is in the giant breed category). Garden totally secure. Very much enjoyed our stay.

The cottage is set in well kept grounds and the owners and Aita were very friendly. It felt secure being behind gated entrance. The interior of the cottage was well set out and had all amenities available. The garden was very secure which made it the place to go for our Lab (Elsa) she loved the grounds.

Perfect for us and our dog for a relaxing week. The views are beautiful and it is very quiet and very dark at night. The cottage is in the grounds of the big house and the caretakers cottage is also nearby so it isnt isolated but we werent disturbed at all. The caretaker popped in with kindling and matches when we first arrived. I felt he was availRead moreable if needed. The garden was secure enough for our chunky staffie but I suspect a determined escape artist could break out fairly easily. Hide
