Overview
Property code: 87839

This comfortable holiday cottage is dog friendly and perfect for couples wanting to enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy the stunning views across the Usk Valley and the foothills of the Brecon Beacons.

Located in a peaceful spot with adventure right on your doorstep, this romantic retreat for two offers a charming place to stay with your loved one in the Brecon Beacons National Park. During your holiday, visit the market town of Brecon (4 miles) for tasty treats and set off on a stretch of the 48-mile Usk Valley Walk through fields, woodlands and pretty villages to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this area.

Upon entering the bungalow you’ll be met with the open-plan living area with a sumptuous sofa for two where you can kick back and relax in front of the TV or sit on the armchair and read a book whilst enjoying the views out of the patio doors and over the countryside. The corner kitchen sits beside the back doors so you can make the most of the fresh air as you cook up meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all of which can be served up on the dining table for two. A dual-aspect double bedroom offers a relaxing place to sleep at the end of the day, with plenty of storage for you to unpack and a bathroom featuring a double shower completes the property. Sat within the grounds of the owner’s home, there is an open terrace with seating where you can sit and watch the sunset, soaking up the beautiful scenery which surrounds.

A trip to one of the lovely market towns in the local area is a must-during your visit, with Brecon (4 miles) Crickhowell (11 miles), the literary lovers haven of Hay-on-Wye (17 miles) all boasting a selection of independent shops and eateries. For an active day out on the water, travel to Llangorse Lake (6 miles) where you can try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking, or simply relax by the waters with a picnic of local produce.

I think there is a waste water problem as after we showered or used the washing machine provided in the cottage the waste water was running down the drive and it smelt stagnant

The cottage was lovely and the view was amazing but a lot of traffic noise as the main road was approximately 30 metres from the patio which was not mentioned on website. We did enjoy our week and would recommend it to anyone.

Cottage was spotlessly clean, and v well equipped. The bed and duvet were the best I've ever slept in. Central heating was terrific, hot water ditto, Sky and Netflix ditto. All in brilliant working order. These comforts add a lot to the quality of a holiday.

A lovely comfortable, and well equipped cottage in a wonderful location for walking in the Brecon Beacons. It is just 15 mins drive from Pen Y Fan and the other mountains. It is a nice central location in the Brecons. The river and canal are local for general walking too, without needing to take the car.
