An inviting area for all that come and stay, with a warming wood burner, smart TV and traditional furnishings that further enhance its style. For a simple supper after a day’s exploring, step into the cottage kitchen which is well-equipped with electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. Enjoy meals at the table in the garden room where you can enjoy far-reaching views across the valley. This area doubles as a sun lounge for relaxing and reading. When it’s time for bed, climb the cottage style stairs where you will find a double bedroom enjoying views across the countryside and one single bedroom with trundle mattress which can be made into a king-size on request. There is a bathroom with shower over the bath and WC on this floor.

Step outside, and enjoy the open aspect of the gardens with garden furniture and BBQ, perfect to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. A beautiful summer house can be found in the garden with a day bed, the perfect location to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, whatever the weather.

An absolutely wonderful stay - lovely cottage, the new sun room is dreamy. Well equipped kitchen, quiet location with walks on the doorstep. And best of all it felt truly dog friendly with the very secure garden.

Great location for exploring the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains and Wye Valley. Very peaceful with views over the mountains from the garden. Location provides the feeling of being remote but only 10 mins from Brecon and 15/20 mins from Hay on Wye. The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable, we really enjoyed our stay here.

We stayed here for a weekend visit, having stayed in the next door cottage the year before. This one is definitely our favourite as it offers more space, and in our opinion better views of the Black Mountains in the distance. Homely, comfortable and the perfect base to go exploring this amazing part of the country. We will definitely be coming backRead more to stay.. Hide
