  • Delightfully perched on the banks of the River Tawe
  • The perfect place to stay to combine a seaside and mountain holiday
  • Ample space for a group holiday, a couples’ get-together or a family reunion
Property code: BN273

Overlooking the River Tawe, this delightful stone cottage has been lovingly renovated to create a cosy yet elegant holiday home for friends or family. Unwind after a day exploring the mountains, lakes, and steeply wooded gorges of the southern Brecon Beacons, and enjoy the soothing sounds of the crackling wood burner and nearby river for a tranquil stay.

Light and spacious, with pops of colour, the kitchen has everything you need to make mealtimes a breeze, and a separate utility room has ample space for boots, coats, and a dog bed. The bright and airy sunroom off the kitchen is the perfect spot for a morning coffee. The dining room seats six, making meals a sociable affair before retiring to the comfortable lounge to play a board game or enjoy a good book. On chilly evenings, curl up on the sofa to watch a film and bask in the warmth of the wood burner. A shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a super-king-size bed with lovely river views, while the second bedroom has a double bed. Two further single rooms and a gleaming family bathroom complete the internal layout. Outside, the large, unenclosed riverside garden has a lawn perfect for pups and people with energy to burn.

The southern Brecon Beacons are a magical expanse of mountains, lakes, caves and rushing rivers. Explore the landscape on foot, by bike, or even by train on the Brecon Mountain Railway. From the cottage, walk through the beautiful countryside to the Diamond Mine Heritage Park along the river, where meadows are full of wildflowers. The city of Swansea (15 miles) is a fantastic destination for keen shoppers and those interested in visiting the city's castle or the National Waterfront Museum. Beaches are also within easy reach, either in Swansea Bay or the stunning Gower Peninsula.

This is a great property in a great location. We visited beaches on the Gower and Tenby, the Four Waterfalls Walk, Crynant Forest and Pontsicill Reservoir - all worth visiting. The house has lots of space for a group of adults, and all the home comforts youd expect. As others have said, the sun room on the end of the house is a great place to wasteRead more time - the river is lovely, and the birds (including woodpeckers!) love the feeders. The cafe up in the town called Loaf does a good breakfast! Hide

Lovely stay ay Ystradgynlais in Parc House. So peaceful sitting outside and listening to the river. We were lucky with the weather, just one full day of rain. Property had everything we needed, and location was good for exploring the area. Owner was friendly and helpful when we had a small issue. Thank you for a memorable holiday.

We have just has a week here and we did not want to leave! Amazing house and gardens, so much wild life and a great base for exploring South Wales. Very well equipped property and so peaceful, private and tranquil and our dog loved it. Garden isn't enclosed for dogs but wasn't an issue for us. Can't wait to book next year!

We had a lovely 2 week holiday in Parc House. The weather wasn't always the best, but when it wasn't good we really enjoyed having such a nice house to spend time in. It was our second visit (we stayed for 1 week before) and it was even nicer this time due to the addition of the garden room. We loved being next to the river, it feels like it is in Read morethe middle of the country when you are there. Yet it is only a short walk to Tesco Superstore and various takeaways etc. Highly recommended. Hide

The cottage is in an idyllic setting and it has been equipped with virtually anything anyone might need. There were few non-ethnic restaurants nearby but the Chinese and Indian takeaways are close and of good standard. However the cooking facilities are excellent and if the weather permits, the garden is a wonderful place to eat a meal.
