Property code: BN409

Perfect for exploring the Black Mountains, this traditional picture-book whitewashed stone cottage provides cosy accommodation for a family or couple looking for an idyllic Welsh countryside retreat.

Romantic textures and extra special features add to the splendid charm of this Brecon Beacons country cottage. Offering never-ending views out across the Black Mountains and into the valleys, you’ll love spending time here and plotting unforgettable days out in the surrounding National Park. Hiking, star gazing, mountain biking, rock climbing and water sports are just some of the activities on offer close by, along with trips to the bumbling local market towns of Crickhowell (5 miles) and Hay-on-Wye (15.5 miles). With ample space both indoors and out, this property merrily accommodates four guests and two dogs, a perfect place for a family or friend’s getaway.

Low-sloped ceilings, timber flooring and exposed brickwork add to the authentic charm of this original country property. Along with a handy bathroom, the ground floor offers a kitchen, a separate dining room and a lovely lounge with a feature fireplace and wood burner set inside. Sky TV and comfortable seating accompany the wood burner in this cosy space, ideal for cooler evenings spent indoors. Step out into the garden when the sun shines and make the most of the view. Back inside, a king-size and a twin bedroom await on the first floor. The master bedroom features the luxury addition of a slipper bath in its corner, made for romantic evenings and late-night soaks.

Mountain bikers and keen hikers will love the proximity to the Black Mountains when staying here, with Blorenge (14.5 miles), Sugar Loaf (11 miles) and Skirrid (17 miles) presenting a three peaks adventure that some can hike in a day. The River Usk is also in this vicinity (3 miles), offering miles of scenic riverside pathways to be appreciated. End any adventure-filled day with some time in Crickhowell, enjoying local pubs for a hard-earned tipple after your excursion.

Lovely area with stunning views but cottage in need of some TLC. Mattress in main bedroom not great, too soft and dipped in middle. TV poor, can only watch BBC channels live, everything else is catch up only and no ITV at all. Nice garden for dogs, fully enclosed.

Location excellent with great views, large, well-fenced garden and very quiet and secluded. Liked the woodburners and the heating was effective. Plenty of information about the locality was available. The cottage was attractive and the rooms large. Plenty of space for four people and the ceilings were not low.

Great and peaceful location away from the hum drum of everyday life. Farmers arms pub is well worth a visit but you will need to book. Plenty of places to go for walks nearby. A visit to Hay on Way is a must, but go on the Thursday when the market is on. Also a visit to the Norman castle and medieval hall Tretower Court and Castle/ Llys a Chastell Read moreTre-tr is worth a visit. Very interesting. Make sure you take up the use of the portable electronic guide. Dogs welcome and they have a cafe. Hide

The cottage is situated up a quiet lane, you can hear some road noise from main road in the village, but it doesn't spoil the peace and quiet! There is a camp site nearby, again no issues! The views are amazing and seeing Red Kites flying by was a real treat! We had a wasp problem which was dealt with promptly by the owners, which was great! The gaRead morerden is secure for dogs which is important. Overall, a chilled relaxed place to stay. Hide
