A lovely, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location. Plenty of walks straight from the door but also only a 20 minute drive to the heart of the Brecon Beacons and Pen y fan. Beautiful views. The kids loved the tree house. surprisingly good mobile signal for somewhere that feels quite remote.

Booked the cottage over the Christmas weekend. Photos and descriptions as seen.

There is lots of parking (we had 3 cars) and the house is in a hill rise which gives it lots of privacy and wonderful views. Hide
