Step straight into the stunning hills of the Brecon Beacons from this charming holiday cottage in Bwlch. This two-bedroom period home, accommodating up to four guests, offers breath-taking views over the picturesque Usk Valley and toward the Black Mountains. Whether you're into climbing, caving, or horseback riding, the national park has plenty to offer. Just a 5-mile walk from your doorstep leads you to Llangorse, home to South Wales’ largest natural lake, where you can enjoy fishing, sailing, or windsurfing. For a dose of history, visit the medieval Tretower Court and Castle, or head 6 miles to the quaint town of Crickhowell to explore its castle ruins, browse local shops, and perhaps indulge in a meal out.

This traditional cottage welcomes you with a cosy atmosphere, accessible via a single step. Unwind in the inviting lounge, where an electric wood burner-effect fire is set within a large stone fireplace. Find your favourite show on TV or relax with a DVD. The kitchen/diner offers everything you need to prepare a tasty meal, and you can enjoy it together around the table. The ground floor also features a family bathroom with a bath, shower over, and WC. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, both offering spectacular views of the Usk Valley and Sugar Loaf Mountain.

Lovely cosy cottage, with everything thing you need. Very clean and in a stunning area. Quite a distance to the nearest shop so would advise doing a pre shop before arrival from essentials. Must have a car.

Cottage was as described but the village shop is now closed but the Venison Centre does sell fresh meats and sundries. Nearest shops are 15 minutes away in Brecon. The cottage was clean, very well equipped and did the job. The only issue was that it was near the top of a very steep road and parking was not as easy as I would have liked.

Lovely cottage, comfortable beds.There is a pub just a few yards up the road which is dog friendly - never had a meal there as it was booked up. Owners of the cottage left us some milk and tea, coffee for when we arrived. Ideal spot for doing walking. Brecon and Abergavenny are only a short drive away.

Lovely cottage, pub on the corner was lovely and welcome dogs.it is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Lovely circular walk just up the road which takes you up on the beacons. Beautiful views from the top. Brecon is not far and is worth a visit. Facilities at the cottage were excellent and we were glad to see there was a shower screen and not the dreadeRead mored shower curtain, the little welcome pack and flowers were a nice touch. Hide

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area, conveniently close to a local pub and a short drive from plenty of local eateries and attractions. The cottage was very clean, beautifully presented, and comfortable. Plus, the facilities were top-notch. We very much enjoyed our holiday and would gladly stay at The Dragon Cottage again.

Dragons Cottage is set in the beautiful surroundings of the Brecon Beacons. The cottage is well maintained, clean and so cosy. We stayed over Christmas and New Year and it had even been decorated with a Christmas tree and other decorations.
