Enjoy a romantic break far off the beaten track; this open-plan cabin nestled in the foothills of the Black Mountains is the perfect setting for an idyllic couple’s retreat. Close to the border and suited to lovers of the outdoors, this airy cabin is the absolute escape from everyday life with your four-pawed friend.

Immerse yourselves in country life from the moment you arrive, park in the farmyard before loading up a wheelbarrow provided to transport your luggage from car to cabin. The single-storey property makes a fabulous first impression, with a raised wooden terrace surrounded by trees and panoramic views of the rolling green hills. The cosy but modern living space offers a lounge area with a comfortable sofa and TV, plus a kitchen that has all the must-haves for a self-catered stay. An inviting double bed is at one end of this space, with a separate shower room to complete your comfort. Adding to the fresh and airy feel to this property are the patio doors that lead to the enclosed wooden terrace that offers stunning valley views. The dog is certain to enjoy all the space and greenery available, but make sure to book them in for the first half the year, because the cabin is set on a sheep-farm that is active from April 14th.

Guests are encouraged to explore the 300 acres of private woodland and farmland, meaning you can truly immerse yourself in the great outdoors. Set amongst the dramatic Black Mountains on the eastern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, there are so many options when it comes to walks and bike rides. Discover the quaint village of Craswall just three miles way or join the famous Offa’s Dyke Trail that runs the length of the England/Wales border. For a more leisurely stroll, the vibrant market town of Hay-on-Wye four miles away is a bookworm’s paradise, and home to a weekly market plus a host of independent shops and eateries to suit every appetite.

This was a cosy, well equipped cabin with the most amazing view. It was lovely to be able to explore the woods and surrounding land. The owners were lovely. I will be recommending it to everyone!

The place is spot on. A point about the location, when going up the narrow road you get to a fork in the road, make sure you take the left narrow track to Craswall. It is a narrow track with passing places. As regards the Cabin, I wish we had one of these for ourselves, think that says it all.

Lovely cabin in a great location. All roads out are single track so narrow lanes. The hill to the cabins are quite steep so not for everyone. Beautiful views and walks and it stayed dry. A little problem with parking when I first arrived but otherwise a lovely place to stay
