  • Characterful ground-floor cottage, set within a former barn on a smallholding
  • Close to the Brecon Beacons National Park, with walks and cycle rides from the door
  • Approximately 4.5 miles from the market town of Brecon, with its shops, restaurants and tearooms
Property code: OC-BN143

Escape from it all with a stay at this appealing, holiday cottage for two. The one-bedroom property nestles on the ground floor of a carefully converted stone barn, on a smallholding, with another cottage on it too. A great romantic retreat, it also makes a base from which to explore the surrounding Welsh countryside. Visit Brecon, 4.5 miles away, with its shops, restaurants, cafes and galleries. Find fabulous walks beside the River Usk and along the canal from the town. Go hill walking, mountain biking, climbing and caving in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Wander down to the village pub, less than 0.5 miles away, or stop for a welcome drink after a long hike before returning home.

Up a few steps, enter into the apartment to find a homely touch and traditional decor, with features like flagstone floors. Settle down on the comfortable seating in your inviting lounge, where the wood burner can be fired up to cast a cosy glow whenever it is cold outside. Choose a book, play a board game or watch a DVD or the TV. Open the French doors on warm days so you can wander out into the sunshine on the patio to relax out there instead. The kitchen has an electric oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. As darkness falls, enjoy studying the night sky through the antique brass telescope before heading off to your Super-king-size bedroom (which can be converted into a twin if requested), where more French doors can be opened up if the weather permits. The adjoining bathroom comes with a large bath, hand-held shower, separate shower unit and WC.

Spend warm afternoons out in your private gravelled garden, down a step. Enjoy a cup of tea at the table or light the BBQ and take in the views while your supper sizzles. You’ll find plenty of parking at the property.

Perfect location, and lovely hosts, glad we took our slippers as stone floors were certainly cold this time of year, a bit tricky trying to get the log burner going when your not used to one, other than that well equipped with what you need.

The location and cottage are lovely, we were given a very warm welcome. A problem which occurred with the washing machine in our second week was resolved very quickly. The Holiday Cottages website does not make it clear that there is another accommodation on an upper floor of Duck Cottage, it was only used for three nights and the people were very Read morequiet but we would have liked to know this before booking.
