Property code: BN144

Surrounded by rolling farmland, and the hills and valleys of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this enchanting cottage, approximately 4 miles from Crickhowell, enjoys a truly magical setting.

While away the hours gazing out across the mesmerising Usk Valley to the Sugar Loaf Mountain in the distance from this standout stone cottage in the Brecon Beacons. Set on a sheep farm, this one-bedroom property next to the owner’s house sleeps up to three people. With its stunning location and characteristic interior, it’s not hard to see why this traditional Welsh cottage featured in Great Escapes Magazine and ITV1’s Home Sweet Holiday Home.

 

Blending exquisite antique pieces and a feature stone fireplace with modern home comforts, the cottage is an inviting place to relax after a day of adventures. Savour meals prepared with fresh local ingredients in the traditional cottage kitchen before basking in the glow of the wood burner in the living room as you watch TV or curl up on the sofa to read. Up the stairs is a galleried landing, where you’ll find a single bed. The main bedroom and bathroom are also on this level. On a sunny morning, enjoy a leisurely breakfast out on the private terrace and, on warm evenings, fire up the BBQ for an al fresco supper.

 

Enjoy outdoor pursuits including hill walking, climbing, pony trekking and mountain biking, and explore the Llanthony Valley, one of the most beautiful valleys in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The small but perfectly formed town of Crickhowell is 3.5 miles from the property. Here you can visit the castle remains, walk by the River Usk or treat yourself to a slice of homemade cake in a tearoom. Foodies won’t want to miss Abergavenny (6.5 miles), known for its fresh produce and wonderful restaurants.

We had a wonderful holiday in Wales. The cottage was very comfortable with welcoming touches like home made biscuits in the kitchen and vases of flowers dotted around the cottage. The scenery is spectacular with lots of walks straight from the cottage. The owners, Sue and Mike, were absolutely lovely, incredibly helpful and nothing was too much troRead moreuble. We will certainly be returning soon for our third holiday there. Hide

We are a regular travellers and would rate Sue and Mike's place as one of the nicest, best located, and real value of all the places we have stayed. The place was clean, full of character, had everything we needed to feel at home, and was in close distance to all the sites we wanted to see. The owners were so kind and attentive and made us feel reaRead morelly welcome. We had an amazing time at their beautiful home and would love to visit again in the future. Thank you for everything!
