Perfect for family stays and groups of friends, there’s space for everyone at this pet-friendly five-bedroomed abode nestled in the heart of the stunning Brecon Beacons. With panoramic views of the Usk Valley, guests of all ages are sure to enjoy their stay here with generous gardens, snugs, a games room and a hot tub waiting to be discovered.

With a bright and airy feel throughout, the lounge offers a comfortable corner sofa so you can stretch out to watch TV or soak up the views through the patio doors. Younger guests can enjoy the cosy snug that boasts a second TV and PlayStation. Catering is made effortless in the spacious kitchen that offers plenty of appliances, while meals can be enjoyed in the separate dining room. Completing the ground floor is a utility room with laundry equipment and a handy cloakroom. Five inviting and contemporary bedrooms are on the first floor; the master has a king-size bed and en-suite shower room, while one double bedroom also has an en-suite shower room, and the second double bedroom offers a comfortable bed with countryside views. There’s also a twin bedroom and a single room with an optional pull-out single bed suitable for a child, and a spacious family bathroom complete with a deep bath.

The adjacent hot tub is the perfect place to chill-out on sunny afternoons or below a gorgeous night sky.

Cottage is well positioned with amazing views and is in a very quiet area. The games room ,whilst cold, was a huge benefit.

We loved the house and the location, the games room was really fun and the local pub was very nice. The hot tub was really good and worked well. The outside could of have maybe done with some lights and maybe some better darts or pool cues. However these are minor recommendations as the house was excellent.
