  • A beautifully renovated, dog-friendly townhouse in a charming market town
  • Ideally located west of the Brecon Beacons
  • Perfect for families visiting the nearby Llandovery College
Property code: BN426

A gateway to the Brecon Beacons National Park, Llandovery is a fantastic base to enjoy outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, pony trekking and fishing. The town itself is a joy to explore, with pubs, independent shops and the remains of a 13th-century castle, while a lane leads down from the cottage to the River Towy. This attractive two-bedroom townhouse with handy parking for two cars is ideal for couples or a small family and their canine chums.

 

Inside, the property is elegantly decorated in calming neutral colours, and you’ll soon feel at home here. The stylish kitchen has a breakfast bar where you can grab a slice of toast if you’re heading out early, while a stable door leads into the dining room, a lovely space to linger over a family meal. Afterwards, watch the Smart TV in the cosy lounge while keeping warm by the wood burner-effect gas fire. The bedrooms, both upstairs, are cutely named Cwtch and Cariad (Welsh words for cuddle and love). Exposed beams and sloped ceilings bring traditional cottage appeal, while an en-suite shower in each room adds the contemporary touch. The garden is surrounded by a wall with a high gate, making it safe for dogs to scamper around in.

 

The mystical village of Myddfai is 3 miles from the property. As well as being the location of Prince Charles’ Welsh residence, it’s also the setting for many myths and legends, including the mysterious Lady of the Lake. A little further afield is the Red Kite Feeding Station near Llanddeusant (8 miles). Experience the thrill of seeing these majestic birds of prey soaring overhead and diving for food. Elsewhere, explore the ruins of Dinefwr Castle (14 miles) and take the dogs for a walk around Usk Reservoir (13 miles).

A lovely stay in this delightful cottage. The cottage is so well equipped, the best we have stayed in. Every possible need has been catered for. It made a good stay an exceptional one. Llandovery and surrounding area is so beautiful and the town itself is lovely. The welcome pack was appreciated and the dog enjoyed her treats.

Had a fantastic stay at silver birch. Paula the host was really helpful before we had even arrived, letting us know about some roadworks in the area that might impact our journey. She was also really flexible on arrival and leaving times. The cottage itself was amazing, really well kitted out and a lovely welcome package. Great location, easy walksRead more from the doorstep plus lots of cafes/pubs/shops and a good sized coop all a few mins walk away. Great for us and the dog! Thank you! Hide

This is an amazing place to stay in with so much attention to detail. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and the entire house is lovely and warm. Even better there are electric chargers in the local car park so no issue with charging our car. A great location to visit a lot of Wales.

We enjoyed our week at this beautiful cottage. It was well equipped and very comfortable. The parking is good and very secure and we enjoyed the garden in the late afternoon. Llandovery is a good base for exploring the west of Wales and accessing good walking country. The cottage is conveniently situated in the heart of this market town but quiet.
