Nestled in a tranquil hamlet near Garth, just north of Brecon, this luxurious retreat offers the perfect escape for nature lovers and those seeking a serene getaway. Sleeping up to four guests across two sumptuous bedrooms, this beautifully restored 18th-century cottage, once home to the Estate Game Keeper, blends historical charm with modern comforts.

Step outside your door and find yourself immersed in nature, with private woodlands offering enchanting trails and wildlife walks. Saddle up for a horse ride along the scenic bridleway that winds above the cottage, or take a leisurely stroll to the local pub, just a mile away. For a day of exploration, the Victorian spa town of Builth Wells, a mere 7 miles away, beckons with its vibrant Arts Centre, eclectic shops, and the ever-bustling Royal Welsh Showground.

For those who crave adventure, the breath-taking Elan Valley, with its dramatic dams, reservoirs, and endless outdoor activities, is just 21 miles away. Whether you’re strolling with your canine companions, tackling mountain biking trails, or enjoying a family picnic, the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park offers something for everyone.

Inside, this stylish single-level retreat has been thoughtfully designed with a soothing palette and elegant pops of colour. The kitchen is a cook's dream, fully equipped with modern appliances to make holiday meal prep a breeze. Gather around the dining table, where you’ll enjoy spectacular countryside views that stretch to the hills beyond. After a day of exploring, unwind in the cosy living room, complete with a toasty wood burner and a TV with Freeview, perfect for a movie night with friends.

As night falls, retreat to one of two inviting super-king-size bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The first bedroom features French doors that open onto a sunny terrace, while the second offers magnificent views of the peaceful valley—ideal for waking up refreshed and ready for a new day of adventures.

Outside, a woodland track leads to ample parking, and the lush lawned area invites you to dine al fresco with a BBQ and garden furniture. Wander through the extensive grounds, or arrange a private trout fishing session on the lake with the owner. And when the sun sets, be sure to gaze up at the star-studded sky—this is a stargazer’s paradise, so don’t forget your telescope!

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or an action-packed adventure, this luxury cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and nature. Book your stay and discover the magic of this enchanting Welsh hideaway.

Very private and peaceful with a great view. Walks from the door and an abundance of wild and bird life. You are above an A road which gives easy access to Builth Welles, etc., but we heard little traffic noise. We found the house very comfortable and well equipped with beautiful paintings. Thank you Caroline for being a very helpful host.
