The roaring wood burner and sumptuous soft furnishings in the cosy lounge set the scene for pure relaxation; on a fine evening, throw open the hand-crafted wooden shutters to unwind to the sound of birdsong carried through the breeze. The high vaulted ceiling and painted stonework create a sense of space in the quant kitchen whilst the contemporary cottage style décor will capture your imagination, inspiring you to whip up some delicious. The stylish ground-floor shower room provides everything you need to soothe weary walking muscles before bedtime or kick-start your next adventure feeling refreshed.

We had a very comfortable and most enjoyable stay in this cottage. Our hosts Nick & Gill did everything they could to make our holidays great. The location is very quiet and tranquil. Nearby are places like Hay-on-Wye and Crickhowell and many opportunities for days out / walking and the advices of Gill work well. Warmly recommended!

A very comfortable cottage with friendly owners in a good location for walkers or cyclists. Surrounding area is beautiful, with views of the Black mountains. Local lanes are narrow, but little traffic and enough passing places (most of the time!) - also good for walking!
