  • A quaint and welcoming holiday cottage in idyllic surroundings
  • A picturesque and tranquil base for exploring the Brecon Beacons
  • Ideally situated just 4 miles from the historic town of Brecon
Property code: OC-BN129

This romantic retreat sits on the outskirts of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), 4.5 miles from the market town of Brecon. Spectacular walks and cycle trails branch away from the property and nearby points of interest include Cradoc Golf Club (3 miles), Talgarth Mill (13 miles), and Pen y Fan (10 miles). In the evenings, sip a sundowner in your private orchard and admire the magnificent scenery.

The charming barn conversion is decorated in a cute, country-cottage style with pastel paintwork and floral fabrics. The heart of the home is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with beautiful exposed beams, a cosy wood burner, and tranquil views across the valley. Unwind here, watching a film on the TV/DVD or trying new recipes in the sweet kitchen area. Enjoy meals together at the breakfast bar, or around the wooden dining table. When it’s time for bed, climb the stairs to the king-size bedroom, which has a stunning arched window framing spectacular rural views. There’s also a delightful reading corner, with armchairs set next to the window. A stylish bathroom completes the accommodation. French doors open from the lounge area onto a private orchard with furniture and a BBQ for outdoor dining.

You’ll find plenty to see and do in Brecon, from walks along the canal to catching a show at the famous Theatr Brycheiniog. The town is full of independent shops, galleries and boutiques, and has a great range of pubs and restaurants. The surrounding area is a paradise for walkers, and those looking to really stretch their legs can take on Pen y Fan, the highest peak in southern Wales. Water sports enthusiasts will enjoy a day at Llangorse Lake (10.5 miles), and for those looking to immerse themselves in local history, Tretower Court and Castle (16 miles) is a must.

A very comfortable cottage in the most beautiful setting, close to the Bannau and to Aberhonddu itself. Alltybrain is gorgeous, the gardens, planting and landscape first rate. The views of the fields surrounding the farm seen though the large window in the downstairs room are magical - the lambs plain together in the evening and Fletcher the cat cRead moreurled up in the sun are memories we have kept of our visit.

We did not stay in Damson cottage, as the owner asked us to move to Duck cottage, so cannot comment. Duck cottage is comfortable and has lovely furniture and a sweet back yard. It is all on one level. Facilities are a bit basic, it could do with more breakfast/soup bowls, there was only one good one, which we shared (we'd bought a hearty soup with Read moreus)...and more than one loo roll! We felt uncomfortable asking for more. Hide

Beautiful cottage, beautiful views, beautiful surroundings. Our aim was to close the door and opt out of our busy lives for a while and we did exactly that. Cottage was warm and inviting, had everything we needed and more. We are planning to come back but for longer next time. An incredibly special place.
