Overview
Property code: OC-58393

Set within the fringes of the national park and within easy reach of the surrounding mountain ranges you could not be better placed. This absolute haven for fun seekers has access to the Brecon Beacons for walking and cycling and for the little more adventurous rock climbing, abseiling and canoeing. For a more peaceful day visit one of the towns or villages of the national park, Brecon, Hay-on-Wye famed for its weekly market and May Literary Festival, Crickhowell a small Georgian town nestled within the Usk valley and Abergavenny a bustling market town with Roman origins considered to be the gateway to Wales. For foodies and festival goers there is a full calendar with something to suit all tastes.

Take in the views across to Pen Y Fan before you step inside the newly added garden room, with hanging space for coats and boots to be left behind. Then step into this charming cottage with open plan lounge/kitchen/diner finished with a clever mix of both old and new, a cosy sofa styled with Welsh blankets sits to the side of the wood burner where you can enjoy watching a film on the Smart TV. Take meals in the garden room while enjoying views across the valley. Relax on the contemporary easy chair and footstool, soaking in the suns rays, it's the perfect spot for reading. A traditional farmhouse table and chairs sits to the side of the room leading to a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob, fridge with full size under counter freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. When it’s time for bed climb the cottage stairs to the first floor where you will find a double bedroom which enjoys views across the countryside and the second bedroom is a comfortable single with views onto the front of the cottage. There is a bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC.

Step outside and enjoy the pretty garden with large garden bench and table along with charcoal BBQ. There is allocated parking for one car available.

A lovely cottage off the beaten track, which was cool after a hot day. The bed was very comfortable with the second bedroom ideal as dressing room. We would be happy to stay again in the future. The carpet in some areas had seen better days.

We spent a week in this cottage with our Labrador. It was soo peaceful!! I could feel my shoulders dropping and any tension seeping away. Barbara is always happy to help if there are any issues. The kitchen is well equipped and I acquired the skill of using a log burner. We visited Brecon and Hay-on-Wye and enjoyed many walks. It was so good to wanRead moreder around with our dog and see little traffic. Just peace & quiet and nature. We even saw our first Murmur of starlings!! A sight to behold! Hide

Delightful cottage in very quiet, but accessible and easy to find location. Thoughtfully and comfortably furnished. Excellent quality utensils, and clean good quality appliances. South facing garden ideal for al fresco breakfast, which we enjoyed in March! Ideal for our needs, will definitely consider in the future.

Thank you Barbara for a most relaxing stay in your beautiful cottage. It had all the rustic charm and cosiness I look for.

Cosy country cottage with lovely views. The garden is small but full fenced so is dog proof. My daughter and I and our medium sized dog had a great stay here. The cottage is warm and comfortable. It was also easy to find and The Felinfach Griffin is a very welcoming pub which sells delicious food. The owner was also very helpful and communicative.

Upon arrival and entrance into the cottage you realise that even though its small its packed with everything you need to fully relax and unwind. Over the weekend we stayed, we were able to sit outside and have breakfast listening to the birds, watching the clouds go by. A big plus, not hearing traffic. You are only minutes away from exploring the BRead morerecon Beacons. Perfect place to use as a base. Hide
