Overview
Property code: BN336

A pretty and romantic cottage covered in ivy and tucked away in the Black Mountains. This is the perfect spot to enjoy walks, bike rides or just admire the views, ideal for two people to escape the hustle and bustle.

Retreat to this delightful and spacious, one-bedroom cottage near Pengenffordd, in the Brecon Beacons National Park, which sits in the same courtyard as the Owners home. Enjoy the romance of this exquisite former barn, which sleeps up to three guests and captures views out towards the Black Mountains. Take two happy hounds with you to enjoy long walks and to run free in the enclosed exercise area close to home. Follow footpaths, visit local towns and villages or simply soak up the serenity of the setting.

 

Make your way into this gorgeous stone holiday home, which has been beautifully converted to create an enchanting hideaway. Find the enticing lounge/diner, with its white-painted, stone walls, wooden floor and beams, is very much the heart of this magical Welsh country property. Fire up the wood burner then bask in its glow as you watch the TV, which has Freesat, or settle down in front of a DVD. Cook up tasty treats in the charming, galley-style kitchen, with its electric cooker, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, then enjoy them at the table or out in the garden. Discover the shower room, which has an electric shower, is also on the ground floor. Climb up to the mezzanine level above the lounge to find a bedroom, with both a king-size bed and a single bed. On warm mornings, enjoy breakfast in the garden and on balmy evenings, fire up the BBQ and dine against the beautiful, mountainous backdrop.

 

Walk 2 miles into Talgarth to browse in its shops, book a table in one of its restaurants or to visit its famous mill and bakery. Head a further 10 miles into Hay-on-Wye, famous for its annual literary festival, for more independent outlets, including numerous bookshops. Follow woodland walks and cycle trails from the cottage or drive to Llangorse Lake, 4 miles away, for fishing and water sports.

The cottage is much more spacious than it appears on the photos. It is absolutely gorgeous from the outside as well as the inside. Numerous thoughtful little touches tell you that the owners really want you to feel at home. A welcome pack with wine, cake and flowers greet you on your arrival and there is milk, sugar, tea and coffee provided so you Read moredon't have to go shopping on your first night. A recliner chair, a wood burner, and a fully equipped kitchen make this a perfect place. Hide

No exit from in side house to back garden. Had to go out of front door and around to back garden. Found awkward with 2 dogs. Bear in mind access to cottage from main road is a single track lane and very windy used mostly by tractors. Found this quite stressful. Apart from these points enjoyable stay.

A simple and sweet cottage with enough things for those that are looking for a place to put up their feet after walks and other outdoor things in and around the area.

We had a lovely stay, it was cozy and quiet. Shops were a short drive away and we found some lovely walks for our dog. Had a nice bottle of wine left for us and the fire was appreciated after a long day out. Everything was nice and clean and had lots of books and DVDs in the cottage for days of bad weather. Thanks again for a lovely stay

Only challenges were slightly low ceiling downstairs if you are above 6ft, shower unusable as boiling or freezing, Read moreno views from any of the rooms and lack of direct access to garden from house means you cant leave your dog there.
