Just 2 miles from the literary town of Hay-on-Wye, on the brink of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this bolthole is perfect for exploring the Welsh countryside with family and friends. Exuding country charm and character, this picturesque cottage has traditional features such as beautiful, exposed beams throughout.

Surrounded by trees and blossoming flowers, pretty windows dot the exterior of the cottage and the charm continues inside. The lounge is perfect for relaxing in after days in the great outdoors. Snuggle up under blankets and fire up the wood burner for a cosy evening in front of the TV. Cook up delicious feasts in the kitchen where an abundance of utensils and appliances including a Rayburn help you to make light work of feeding hungry guests. Plate up at the table where a large window boasts breathtaking views across the peaks and mountains which lie beyond the garden. Nestled in the eaves of the house, with exposed low beams and tons of character, climb stairs to the first floor where you can rest your head in one of three cosy bedrooms. The single bedroom is accessed via the handsome double bedroom, perfect for families and decorated with pretty, floral furnishings. Enjoy a soak in the first-floor family bathroom and get your day off to a relaxing start.

Welcoming your four-legged friends too, there are plenty of walks nearby to explore together. Set off from your doorstep and make your way into the nearby forest for adventures galore.

This is an exceptional cottage: full of character but faultlessly equipped and much less stark than most dog-friendly holiday lets. The situation on the forest edge is delightful and totally peaceful: the access track posed no problems. The main interest of Clyro nowadays is the Kilvert connection, but Hay is full of interest and only five minutes Read moreaway. What we saw of the surrounding country through the mist and murk made us want to return and explore it in better weather. Hide

The house is equipped with everything, really everything you could possibly think of. The area is quiet, the house itself wonderful and cosy, in the summer it is still cold inside. The matresses are super comfortable, we slept really great. For winter there are even electric blankets in the bedrooms. Unfortunately there is no pub in walking distancRead moree anymore. Walking to Hay-on-Wye is a bit far. But we definately enjoyed our visit! Thank you for sharing your wonderful house with us! Hide

What a magical location to reset and relax. The cottage was clean comfortable and had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Glorious walking direct from the door and a short drive to Hay.

A beautiful, well maintained cottage with large gardens. Feels very secluded amongst trees after drive down private lane. Good kitchen equipment. Modern bathroom. Fantastic views of the hills. Excellent for a dog (though beware drop to the Cwm!). Good WiFi. As you would expect of 15C cottage, two of bedrooms quite small, but comfortable. Highly recRead moreommend. Hide

We had a lovely week away completely enveloped in a beautiful relaxing lush environment.. so quiet, nothing but the sound of birds and sheep . Plenty of rabbits and bank voles! Trees were awesome and a pretty garden. Bliss! And all this only two miles from all amenities.. Hay on Wye is lovely and the market on Thursday is worth a visit. The cottageRead more was snug and cosy and there wasnt a single thing which wasnt supplied. Cooker great. Beds comfortable.. loved it! Thank you Hide

The house was a lovely retreat, very close to Hay but in a little world of its own. The lane and turning round was somewhat challenging but we managed perfectly well after getting the hang of it. The flowers in the garden were charming and a lovely addition.
