Just 2 miles from the popular town of Crickhowell in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this property is perfectly located for exploring the best of rural Wales. Take a trip to the nearby town or plan to visit during their ever-popular music festival, Green Man (3.5 miles). Set off from the cottage’s doorstep to explore the Black Mountain range (12 miles) and the Sugar Loaf Mountain (0.5 miles) or travel a little further afield to summit the impressive Pen y Fan (19.5 miles). Wander just 300 metres down a country road to find a welcoming country pub or set off and visit a Michelin Star inn 8 miles away in Llanddewi Skirrid.

 

Accessed via a gently stepped path from the parking area, this Scandinavian-style property is accessed from the garden and through the French doors, and boasts simplistic yet welcoming decor with sloping ceilings, all set out on one level next door to the owner’s property. Step inside into the comfortable lounge and make a beeline for the well-equipped galley kitchen, where the electric oven, grill and induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher offer all you need to feed the family. Fire up the coffee machine early on a morning and enjoy a freshly brewed mug outside on the lawn. Head through an archway and into the open-plan lounge and dining room, an ideal space for eating and unwinding. Comfy sofas sit beside a TV/DVD for relaxing evenings. Two inviting bedrooms offer a spot to rest up for the day ahead, with comfy beds and an abundance of storage space available for you to use. Completing the property is a contemporary shower room with WC.

 

Exit via French doors in the lounge and soak up the generous outdoor space. A handy decked area with dining set provides the perfect spot to dine alfresco, whilst the surrounding gardens ensure a wonderful area to soak up some sun. After a day walking the surrounding countryside, kick of your boots and take some time out to relax in the private sauna nestled into the trees across the lawn, bliss!

Lovely cottage in a beautifully quiet location with a great pub at the bottom of the hill. Easy to get into Crickhowell and Abergavenny and some great easy and not so easy walking in the surrounding area. We would definitely come again.

Lovely cottage, great location to where we wanted to be. The driveway is steep, my car is very low so I had to be very careful and drive very slowly up the drive. It was very peaceful and quiet there. The facilities in the cottage were perfect as well. Thank you

Property very well located for Abergavenny, Crickhowell and local walks/activities in the Black Mountains. Bed was big and comfy which is always a plus.
