There is plenty to explore in Abercamlais, this Grade I-listed mansion estate steeped in history and natural beauty offers an abundance of seasonal flora and fauna. A tour of Abercamlais (between March and September) comes highly recommended where you can gain a greater insight into the history of both the house and grounds. Walkers and cyclists have a great choice of landscapes: follow the river and canal paths or climb one of the many hilltops including the Black Mountains, Fan Fawr and Pen-Y-Fan. Family attractions include the National Showcaves (17 miles), The Big Pit (20 Miles) and Llangorse Lake (13 miles) where you can hire canoes and paddle boards. For the more easy-going guests there are some lovely market towns including the bustling market town of Brecon (6 miles), well known for its famous jazz festival, independent shops and cafes, history, military connections and, of course, the magnificent cathedral. Hay-on-Wye, Crickhowell and Builth Wells, are all within 24 miles.

 Set within the privacy of a walled garden within Abercamlais Estate, this charming cottage is perfect for small families and couples along with up to three four legged friends. Located at the end of a lane and with no other properties nearby, guests can enjoy the peaceful seclusion, with only the sound of the river nearby. Access to the cottage is via the kitchen outside door, or the garden room, a sunny space suitable for lazy afternoons or morning coffee. From here, you will enter the lounge which offers access to a spacious boot room, well-equipped with dog washing facilities and a separate shower room with shower and WC. There is a spacious lounge area with sofa, wood burning stove and smart TV. A large well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need for preparing meals during your stay and includes a separate dining area. Upstairs, there are two beautifully finished bedrooms, a spacious king-size bedroom enjoying garden views, and a twin room that also boasts garden views. Completing the property is a large bathroom with bath, vanity unit and WC.

Outside, guests can relax within the walled garden. There is a table and chairs and charcoal BBQ, perfect for summer dining. Guests will also have access to a stretch of the River Usk for wild swimming, fly fishing (guests to supply a rod licence), an all-weather tennis court and a wild meadow walk. Guests can also take a tour of the estate. There is storage for bikes and allocated parking for two cars.

This is a truly fantastic cottage in a fabulous location. The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard & Andrea could not have been more welcoming or helpful throughout our stay. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to others and hope to be back again in the near future.
