  • A spacious, light and tranquil cottage with glorious rural views
  • Ideal for walkers and cyclists exploring the Brecon Beacons and Wye Valley
  • Within 3 miles of the thriving market town of Hay-on-Wye
Property code: BN415

This bright and friendly Welsh stone cottage occupies a lovely, secluded spot south of the Begwn Hills. Offering magnificent views across the valley, this is a cosy retreat for visitors to Hay-on-Wye.

Sitting pretty on the corner of the outstanding Brecon Beacons National Park, adventure the days away before relaxing in style back at this home from home. Boasting magnificent views across the Wye Valley and the Begwyn Hills, spend al fresco evenings on the elevated terrace with a tipple in hand whilst your four-legged friend enjoys the fresh air.

Climb steps to reach the front door and make your way inside this spacious bolthole. Fire up the wood burner for cosy nights in as you put your feet up on the inviting sofas in front of the TV. The sleek, contemporary kitchen has all you need to cook up a three-course feast or to prepare a delicious picnic, and underfloor heating promises creates an indulgent atmosphere. Should the weather allow, dine alfresco on the terrace and watch the sun set over the undulating landscapes. When returning from muddy walks, enter via the back door and head straight into the utility room where you can throw off boot, coats and leads. As day turns to night, climb to the first floor to rest your head in one of three tranquil bedrooms – two king-size rooms and a twin which is perfect for younger guests to enjoy sleepovers and lazy mornings.

A 3-mile trip will take you to the literary town of Hay-on-Wye where you can roam the famous bookstores, visit the castle or sit down for a hearty meal. Nearby, the village of Glasbury is 2 miles from home; here you can hire a canoe and paddle to The Warren, a shingle beach on the banks of the River Wye. The Begwn Hills offer fantastic views and lie just 7 miles from your door.

Common cottage is clean, warm and very well appointed and equipped, the owner has thought of everything yo provide comfort during the stay. We have stayed on three separate occasions and will return. The area has plenty to offer from glorious hill walking to river activities and the scenery and views are breathtaking.

We had a fabulous week in Common Cottage. The kitchen was superbly equipped. The lounge and bedrooms also excellent. We absolutely loved the Welsh cakes left by the owner. The location is great for visiting the Brecon Beacons, surrounding towns and other places of interest. I hope were able to return in the future.

Beautiful, comfortable house in a perfect position to help explore the area - Hay-on-Wye literally 5 minutes away, Brecon Beacons barely 10 minutes, and Elan Valley around 1 hour away. Little better after a day out exploring than getting back to that woodburner and setting a cozy fire on the chilly February evenings. Well equipped and very clean anRead mored tidy. Fresh flowers and Welsh cakes very welcome on arrival too. Only problem was we ran out of time to keep exploring! Hide
