You are also less than 500 metres from joining the long-distance Wye Valley Walk, with the river also offering excellent opportunities for fishing and canoeing. Further afield, Brecon Beacons National Park is less than 10 miles away, where mile after mile of mountain trekking, cycling and horse riding awaits, or for a more sedate excursion you could head 8 miles east to Hay-on-Wye to browse bountiful bookshops, independent boutiques and antique stores, before relaxing in one of the many excellent eateries.

Stepping into this renovated property you are greeted by a fusion of old and new, with ancient oak beams offsetting contemporary comforts. The open-plan living space features a polished oak floor and underfloor heating, with a contemporary style wood burner making it warm and cosy on chilly days.

This beautiful house was everything we anticipated and more. The owners were so kind and welcoming. We made magical memories. The house warm and cosy and the little touches were just so lovely. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. We were sad to leave after our magical Christmas. We will definitely be booking again. A wonderful hidden gem

Stayed for a long weekend with family to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. All of us found the cottage very clean and comfortable, we had everything we needed. There's a pub across the road that has food, it's not far to Brecon and Abergavenny for a day out. Beds are comfy, there's a hot tub, WiFi, and sky tv. We will definitely return!

Beautiful and well appointed house, in a good location for exploring and hill walking. Liz was great, the house was really clean, warm and comfortable.and the hot tub was a brilliant plus for us all. Would also recommend the Griffin pub (few mins walk away along the main road). A really enjoyable break away and lovely holiday home.
