  • Traditional cottage with views across to the Pen Y Fan and Welsh mountains
  • Within walking distance of the local village inn
  • The perfect base to explore both the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • A haven for enthusiastic walkers and cyclists with direct access to the countryside
Property code: 58393

Set within the fringes of the national park and within easy reach of the surrounding mountain ranges you could not be better placed. This absolute haven for fun seekers has access to the Brecon Beacons for walking and cycling and for the little more adventurous rock climbing, abseiling and canoeing. For a more peaceful day visit one of the towns or villages of the national park, Brecon, Hay-on-Wye famed for its weekly market and May Literary Festival, Crickhowell a small Georgian town nestled within the Usk valley and Abergavenny a bustling market town with Roman origins considered to be the gateway to Wales. For foodies and festival goers there is a full calendar with something to suit all tastes.

Take in the views across to Pen Y Fan before you step inside the porch with hanging space for coats and boots to be left behind. Then step into this charming cottage with open plan lounge/kitchen/diner finished with a clever mix of both old and new, a cosy sofa styled with Welsh blankets sits to the side of the wood burner with a contemporary easy chair and footstool that’s perfect for reading or catching up with a favourite film on the smart TV. A traditional farmhouse table and chairs sits to the side of the room leading to a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob, fridge with full size under counter freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. When it’s time for bed climb the cottage stairs to the first floor where you will find a double bedroom which enjoys views across the countryside and the second bedroom is a comfortable single with views onto the front of the cottage. There is a bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC.

Step outside and enjoy the pretty garden with large garden bench and table along with charcoal BBQ. There is allocated parking for one car available.

Cosy country cottage with lovely views. The garden is small but full fenced so is dog proof. My daughter and I and our medium sized dog had a great stay here. The cottage is warm and comfortable. It was also easy to find and The Felinfach Griffin is a very welcoming pub which sells delicious food. The owner was also very helpful and communicative.

Upon arrival and entrance into the cottage you realise that even though its small its packed with everything you need to fully relax and unwind. Over the weekend we stayed, we were able to sit outside and have breakfast listening to the birds, watching the clouds go by. A big plus, not hearing traffic. You are only minutes away from exploring the BRead morerecon Beacons. Perfect place to use as a base. Hide

A great cottage in an ideal location for exploring Hay on Wye and the Brecon Beacons. The garden is secure which is important for us with two nervous rescue dogs and also the property has a porch door so again really good for keeping dogs from slipping out.
