Overview
Property code: BN187

Nestled beside the Clydach River within the natural beauty of the Clydach Gorge (itself an SSSI) the cottage is close to an abundance of trails and paths to explore, so pack your hiking boots and escape to the country.

This charming bolthole is the perfect home from home for families and friends to enjoy together. The large patio is great for dining alfresco and basking in the sun or you can cosy up by the wood burner which keeps the heart of the home welcoming and warm. Arranged over one level, you can enjoy a relaxed family holiday together.

The open-plan living space consists of a light kitchen with a dining table, and the inviting lounge area. Sprawl on the sofa and bask in the warmth of the roaring wood burner or pop the kettle on in the kitchen where you have all the equipment needed to cook up a storm. Plate up at the dining table or serve up a sizzling BBQ on the patio. Sitting in the grounds of the owner’s house, the garden spaces are beautifully kept so you can enjoy the outside space just as much as the inside. Both bedrooms are decorated in sumptuous tones and have en-suites so you can freshen up for the day with ease. Filled with natural light which floods in through floor-to-ceiling windows, the bedrooms are tranquil and calming spaces in which you should have no trouble drifting off.

Located in the charming village of Clydach, hop on the Clydach Gorge Walk straight from your door, or travel 2 miles to the neighbouring village of Gilwern where you can tuck into a tasty meal. Book on a Brecon Beacons Tour which leaves from Abergavenny Station and takes you past panoramic peak tops, tumbling waterfalls and majestic mountains.

Haymans Cottage was a lovely place to stay, really clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lovely peaceful location with lots to do in the surrounding areas and walks of the iron works just a few minutes away.

This is ideal accommodation for 2 couples and a good location for Crickhowell and the Brecon Beacons. You can walk from the cottage along the Clydach Gorge. The waterfalls are spectacular in wet weather! A very comfortable, well equipped and warm cottage.

Wonderful, secluded location by the river, in a well-designed cottage conversion. Welcoming hosts and a well-equipped home-from-home make this a very nice spot for a week in beautiful countryside and with interesting social heritage all around.

Lovely accommodation very handy to major road but dont let this put you off as cottage set in deep gorge and it's the bird song rather than traffic that wakes you. Nice touch milk, wine and Welsh cakes left for us. Would book again.

We had a lovely week away at this little cottage. The owner was really welcoming and the cottage is very well equipped for cooking or eating in. Perfect location- really easy to get everywhere we wanted to. After worrying slightly about being next to the road, we didn't notice it at all in the end as the cottage is well sheltered in the valley.

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped, probably one of the best we have stayed in. It is in a lovely quiet area but still close enough to travel to Abergavenny, Brecon etc. The wine and shortbread biscuits and milk were a nice touch and very welcome.
