Escape to this delightful stone cottage nestled on the picturesque slopes of Tor-y-Foel Mountain. Sleeping three people in one bedroom, it’s an excellent accommodation option for couples or small families who are looking for a traditional cottage to call home while they explore the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park together.

In the evening, come home and enjoy a glass of wine on the patio while taking in the mountain expansive views.

Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner boasting a high ceiling and classic rustic design.

We have stayed in this cottage three times and highly recommend for those who want to get away from it all.

Really quaint cottage up a single track lane, very peaceful with lovely owners who live opposite and are so friendly and helpful. The cottage was perfect for the two of us and our dog and was a great base to explore the villages, reservoirs etc round it.

Great location in a valley some 2 miles from the village of llangynidr. Ideal for peace and quiet or for the more energetic some good walks from the location up the lane and footpaths . There are OS maps available, to plan your trips into the mountains.

A lovely cottage with the right amount of basic needs for a base to explore the Brecon Beacons.

We booked very last minute for a long weekend away and we couldn't thank Pip and Gil enough. The cottage was exactly as advertised and they were very helpful and welcoming.
