Perfectly placed on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this charming countryside cottage is a haven for couples seeking a peaceful escape with stunning walks, outdoor adventures, and their dog by their side.

Conveniently situated alongside the main road, the cottage offers easy access in all seasons—whether you're arriving by car or public transport. It’s just 7 miles from Brecon and 6 miles from the pretty town of Crickhowell, with the village of Llangynidr only a mile away. There you'll find scenic canal walks, a tennis court, and two welcoming, dog-friendly pubs to unwind in after a day outdoors.

Explore the Brecon and Monmouth Canal by kayak, or stroll beside the River Usk and the River Wye. Nearby, Llangorse Activity Centre and Cantref Adventure Farm offer climbing, pony trekking, and more, while the Henry Vaughan Walk winds through the breath taking Talybont valley—rich in Welsh history and natural beauty.

The cottage itself is full of character, with oak beams, exposed stone walls, and cosy cream-toned interiors. The compact yet well-equipped kitchen includes a gas hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine. Enjoy romantic meals in the quarry-tiled dining area before heading upstairs to unwind.

The light-filled living room boasts large skylights with far-reaching valley views—a perfect spot to curl up with your pup and a glass of wine. The comfy double bedroom promises a restful night’s sleep, and the stylish wet room features a powerful shower to refresh after long walks.

Outside, there's a small enclosed yard with seating and a portable BBQ—ideal for relaxed summer evenings. You can unload right at the door, with designated parking just across the road. A friendly dog-welcoming pub is within walking distance, and a local farm shop with café is less than a mile away.

Whether you're strolling along leafy paths, hiking rugged hills, or simply relaxing together in front of a film, this cottage offers the perfect couple’s escape—with room for your four-legged friend too.

It is a well-presented cottage in a great location. There was everything to wish for in a holiday accommodation. Unobtrusive but ever-present owners.

Lovely, cosy quirky cottage for two. Equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Loved the personal touches like tea/ coffee/ milk/ bread butter and home made jam on arrival! We would definitely stay again. Lots of circular walks on the doorstep and beautiful views.

Lovely little cottage, and the space is used very well. Really welcoming touches like fresh flowers, bread, homemade marmalade. Plenty of information about things to do.

The cottage is very clean and near great hiking spot. The bed is a queen size (140cm) with a spring mattress so it bounces a lot. The house is few meters away for a very busy road with big trucks and cars that you can hear from the cottage all day (and stil a bit at night) - even with closed windows. There is no curtains or shutters in the living rRead moreoom next to the bedroom so if you like to sleep with open door - you might be disturbed by the street lamp at night that enlighten a lot.

A very well equipped cottage within easy reach of lots of fantastic walks, some of the side roads were a bit narrow but plenty of places to pull in to let traffic pass. Would definitely visit again.
