With its nearest neighbours almost 1 mile away, this peaceful cottage provides larger or extended families with the perfect secluded getaway in the Brecon Beacons.

Enveloped by the gorgeous greenery and natural beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this charming 17th-century cottage is a perfect place for a peaceful break with your loved ones. Each and every room is bursting with character thanks to the thoughtfully restored original features including an exposed stone fireplace, beamed ceilings and flagstone flooring. For a day out, you could head to Llandeilo, just 8 miles from your doorstep. Explore the country houses, imposing castles and pretty streets filled with independent eateries and you’ll find a little something for everyone.

After a day out exploring, the cosy, traditionally styled living room encourages guests to unwind on the two soft sofas located in front of the feature fireplace and wood burner. Next door, the farmhouse kitchen/diner is equipped with everything you’ll need to rustle up a hearty home-cooked meal. You could sit up at the breakfast bar to enjoy a quick bite, or set the table in the dining room for a more formal affair. Just off the kitchen is a cosy snug area, furnished with armchairs and nods to the property’s past, such as the original bread oven and glorious kitchen range. All of the bedrooms are located upstairs on the first floor with beautiful wooden frames, including a king-size room, a double and a twin. Finally, the contemporary bathroom completes the set up boasting generous floor space, a double shower and a bathtub. Head outside to the large garden to dine alfresco, or let your dog stretch their legs on the lawn, a perfect place to be when the sun is shining.

For an active adventure, walks around the Usk Reservoir and through the Glasfynydd Forest (12 miles) are a great place to start. Here you’ll find serene spots to stop off for a picnic, a mighty array of wildlife and some fascinating flora and fauna. A fantastic family day out can be found at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (20 miles) where you’ll be able to tour the deep underground passages and visit more than 220 life-sized dinosaurs at the world’s biggest dinosaur park.

We loved everything about this rural getaway. The location is stunning (as long as you don't mind the bumpy ride to get there), the house is beautiful, with everything you need, and it was truly a wonderful break for us.

We loved our stay. The weather wasnt good to us but the log fire kept us warm and toasty. We went with our Honda CRV and VW Up and both cars were fine on the track, we just had to go slow in the Up. We had a great firework free New Years. Our 13.5 year old lab loved the peace and quiet. Would love to go back in the summer and sit outside and watch Read morethe stars. We managed to get some phone reception outside the house under the big tree. Will definitely be back soon. Hide

Large house, beautifully located. It feels very precious to be able to spend some time here. Lots of space for (young) children to be outdoors. The cottage is close to a stunnig drive into the hills. Please be aware that access with a 'low' vehicle is difficult. Ordnance survey walks in the vicinity are overgrown.

Characterful, comfortable cottage with panoramic views. This is an isolated place where you can really get away from it all and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Welsh countryside.

Idyllic views from the house across to the Black Mountain. Air quality lovely and clean and fresh. Very quiet. A generous-sized house with large rooms and well equipped kitchen.

Lovely cottage and views. Tranquil and peaceful but it did not have the walks that we expected, straight from the front door. There was a great range of kitchen equipment and all of the rooms were of a good size but we did find the property quite cold at night and had to use the wood burner.

What a find! The house is totally idyllic with jaw dropping panoramic views across the hills. We had a fantastic week winding down and exploring the rural west end of the Brecon Beacons and this house was comfortable, spacious and well equipped to serve all our needs. We would definitely like to stay again.
