Find your inner adventurer and discover the unique landscape of the Brecon Beacons National Park, a windswept wilderness of rugged mountains, sweeping valleys dotted with ancient trees, and popular market towns boasting friendly eateries and attractions. Offering comfortable sleeping spaces for four guests, this charming property is perfect for families and small groups keen to explore the countryside and sample some of the best local produce this diverse region is famous for. Set within the grounds of a working farm, you’ll soon be enjoying the breathtaking views over a glass of wine in the garden.

Simply presented with traditional details such as character beams and a feature stone fireplace, the property is perfectly tailored for relaxing. Light the wood burner in the lounge and relax with a soothing brew or a slice of cake at the table. There’s a generously equipped kitchen and a utility room for all your culinary and laundry needs, and the separate snug has a sofa bed for additional sleeping space or just somewhere to unwind with a book.

There’s a downstairs shower room too, and the enclosed garden has a patio.

I enjoyed my stay: the garden views are lovely, really lovely, local hikes in the Black mountains are wonderful, and everything else grand. If you are cooking for yourself, there will be very little in terms of basics to rely on as provided, so plan ahead. I usually do just in case, so I had no problem.

A comfortable warm cottage- quite isolated which we loved. The road to the cottage is very narrow but we soon got used to it over the week.

A good cottage - spacious and well equipped. A very good location for walking in the unspoilt part of the Brecon Beacons. Very peaceful. Lovely views from kitchen and garden. Be prepared for a narrow but quiet approach lane. However this means you can walk from the front door. We enjoyed our stay there.

Well equipped cottage with great views. Really well situated for all the walking and sight-seeing in the area. Hope you're good at reversing - very narrow lanes with few passing places. But rest assured, very little traffic. More likely to meet a stray sheep on the road.

The cottage is perfect for two couples or a family of 4/5, who like to stay off of the beaten track. Convenient for Crickhowell and walking in the Brecon Beacons. The house was warm, clean and well equipped and the owners, who lived nearby but not on site were very friendly. Fantastic views from the garden.

Whilst the cottage is in a scenic location no mention is made of the challenging access along a very narrow, bendy two mile lane with very limited passing places until instructions on how to get there are issued a couple of weeks before.

The cottage is beautifully refurbished and very easy to live in, and the views are so lovely. We would love to book again for next year, but unfortunately the prospect of losing a third of the total cost of the cottage if we had to cancel means we don't feel able to at this time.
