There’s something for everyone at this secluded cottage deep in the Black Mountains. Outside there are acres of gardens, fields, and a private waterfall to explore, the interiors are full of exquisite period features, and there’s a host of extras to enhance your down-time including table tennis, a pool table and wood-fired hot tub. Sleeping eight, it welcomes up to four dogs too, so no-one has to miss out on the holiday fun!

Catch up with friends or family at this historic hideaway and you’ll have a holiday to remember. The 16th-century homestead retains many original features that are complemented by traditionally styled rooms. Underfloor heating is supplemented by welcoming wood burners in the two main living rooms – one has a choice of sofas, a Smart TV and a pool table, while the other has an inglenook fireplace, comfortable seating and a spacious dining table perfect for big-group gatherings. The country kitchen will inspire any cook; with a breakfast table and two ovens, it’s complemented by a separate utility area. When it’s time to retire, stairs lead down from the living room to the ground floor, where two bedrooms have super-king-size beds, one of them with an additional single bed. A bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower is close by. Steep stone stairs also lead from the living room up to a king-size bedroom with an additional single bed and en-suite with a gorgeous roll-top bath. The wow-factor continues outside, where the fenced garden has a patio area with a wood-fired hot tub, a fire pit and furniture. Step into the garage for a game of table tennis or enjoy a stroll to the waterfall and shallow pool – there are fields all around.

This beautiful abode sits just beneath Lord Hereford's Knob and Hay Bluff in the Black Mountains – part of the Brecon Beacons National Park – and there’s a wealth of walks and cycle rides on your doorstep. Book-lovers’ favourite Hay-on-Wye is less than 5 miles north, while vibrant Crickhowell and Brecon are both within 11 miles.

Beautiful property located in stunning countryside. The lanes leading to the property are very narrow and steep in places! Our dogs loved the freedom of being able to run around the big back garden and paddle in the stream. All of the boys loved playing pool in the living area too. We had a fabulous stay, thank you!

This is our second time visiting and the location is 11 out of 10. It is so peaceful and idyllic with no light pollution and just sounds of sheep in the field. The property is gorgeous! My advice to anyone staying is to not use the postcode but to use the What 3 word app which will take you straight there. Thankyou .

It was a wonderful, idyllic stay spent with friends and family. Appreciated the Christmas tree and decor. It was great to star gaze in the hot tub, and the surrounding walks were lovely.

Our 9th visit to our fav cottage. New owners? Positive - Haybluff is a delightful cottage with real character. The spacing and games make it great for all ages. Negative- do not stain the towels. Recycle correctly or be charged. These little notices spoilt it for us 8 years without the need for them. It is not a cheap place to stay and for extra waRead morermth you have to pay for wood. It cost us 30 to to do this the hot tub eats it up. Hide
