A charming stone cottage set within the grounds of a country estate 6 miles from Brecon. This dog-friendly cottage features a spacious lounge, an enclosed garden and access to a tennis court. It is a convenient base for a family or group of friends keen to explore the Brecon Beacons National Park.

The cottage is located in the heart of the Abercamlais Estate and adjoins its majestic Grade I-listed mansion house. The cottage itself has spacious rooms across both storeys, some enjoying impeccable views of the surrounding area. Entering via a courtyard, it's easy to be swept up in the beautiful kitchen, a wonderful space for foodies to create delicious meals with local produce. The large dining room is the perfect setting for lazy brunches or late suppers, thanks in part to the views of the estate through its picture windows. Across the hallway, guests will find comfort and solace in the lounge, a sociable space that comes into its own when the wood burner is lit. A nearby shower room is on hand to help those who need to recharge after a long day. Upstairs, three bedrooms and an office sit off a generous landing area: the king-size bedroom enjoys dual-aspect views of the estate; a second king-size bedroom stands nearby, as does a twin bedroom, which is perfect for youngsters. The first floor is also home to a family bathroom. The picturesque enclosed garden is a wonderful place to unwind throughout the day.

The River Usk cuts through the estate and guests on two and four paws are welcome to paddle or fish off its banks; the estate also has its own tennis court and tours of the house and gardens are available by prior arrangement. Brecon (6 miles) and Hay-on-Wye (21 miles) are two of the many bustling market towns nearby, while natural attractions of Brecon Beacons National Park, including Llangorse Lake, Fan Fawr and Pen-Y-Fan, are within 17 miles.

Dovecote Cottage offered a picturesque retreat in March, with stunning views and a chic interior. Activities like waterfall hikes and wild swimming made the stay memorable. Nearby attractions and cozy dining options added to the charm. The warm hospitality of the owners, who provided free-range eggs and honey, made our stay truly special.
