This compact cottage offers a warm and welcoming retreat for a couple or solo traveller, inviting you to return home to its rustic charm and private courtyard garden after days spent exploring the untamed beauty of the Brecon Beacons.

This characterful cottage is distinguished by its oak beams, exposed stone walls, fresh cream interiors, and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is well-equipped for culinary creativity, and in the dining area, you’ll find an original quarry-tiled floor and a table perfect for romantic mealtimes. Moving upstairs, the living room is bright and airy, with large skylights that capture the fabulous, far-reaching views across the valley. The room’s large oak beams and exposed stone walls, along with charming nooks and ledge-and-brace doors, pay homage to the history of the cottage. There’s an attractive double bedroom for a restful night’s sleep, and rounding off the upstairs space is a shower room. The property offers a small enclosed patio area with seating and a portable BBQ, perfect for outdoor enjoyment.

Host was helpful regarding information about the area. Welcome pack of milk, butter and cake on arrival. Lovely views and walks. Disappointed that we couldnt see night sky/stars due to light pollution into the Hayloft from street lamp directly above sitting room window.
