Whether you're an avid walker, cyclist, or simply someone who enjoys leisurely pursuits, this location offers something for everyone. From the doorstep, you can embark on scenic walks and bike rides suited to all levels of fitness, or take a gentle stroll through the charming town of Hay-on-Wye. Head towards Brecon for more adventures, or explore the nearby towns of Crickhowell and Abergavenny, both offering an array of independent shops, cozy cafes, welcoming pubs, and delightful restaurants. The Rivers Usk and Wye are also close by, perfect for fishing enthusiasts - day permits for the Usk can be obtained in Crickhowell, while canoes for the Wye are available to rent in Glasbury. For water sports, Llangorse Lake offers sailing, paddle boarding, and kayaking opportunities. Train lovers will enjoy a ride on the Brecon Beacons Mountain Railway, while history buffs should not miss the Big Pit Mining Museum. For a real challenge, take on Pen Y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, or simply relax with a drink in a beer garden along the Brecon and Monmouth Canal as it passes through Pencelli.

This traditional stone cottage has been beautifully renovated to blend original features with modern comforts, creating a cosy and characterful retreat with exposed beams throughout. The living room, with its two sofas and armchair, is perfect for unwinding with a film or a good book by the glow of the coal-effect gas fire. A selection of board games and books are provided for your entertainment. The large and bright well-equipped oak kitchen includes an electric cooker, gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, and washing machine, providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. The antique farmhouse dining table, which seats six, is ideal for enjoying meals together, with a lovely view of the adjacent paddock where you can spot red kites and buzzards. A convenient downstairs WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the charming master bedroom with high ceilings and exposed beams features an antique brass double bed, while the second bedroom with exposed stone feature walls offers twin beds. The family bathroom includes a shower over the bath, a hand basin, and a WC.

Outside, the garden offers stunning views across the Usk Valley and Brecon Beacons. Although not fully enclosed, the lawn provides plenty of space for children to play, with a swing set for their enjoyment. You can dine alfresco at the wooden table and benches at any time of day, sheltered by the oak-framed canopy awning—even if the weather turns.

Great cottage, and very nice hosts. Just a little tweaking required . For the cost of the cottage a little welcome pack would make all the difference, also towels should be provided.

Every time we come to stay at Pentwyn we feel very relaxed and well looked after. The cottage is so well served but retains that comfy, homely feel that make for a really relaxing and homely feeling. There is plenty of space and the cottage is always spotlessly clean. The surrounding countryside is simply beautiful. All in all this is a first classRead more cottage with everything you would ask for a very enjoyable, relaxing holiday. Hide

Thank you for providing a lovely, clean cottage, with everything that we could have needed, for our stay in the beautiful Brecon Beacons. It was just perfect for our family - 2 adults and 2 children. We really enjoyed our visit and hope to be able to book again.
