Overview
Property code: 42884

Full of divine countryside charm, this cottage is a majestic home for all to enjoy. Whether two or four-legged, curl up and enjoy the warmth of not one, but two log burners or prolong summer evenings in the fenced garden and feel the calming presence of the neighbouring mountains. An exciting abundance of walks and tail-chasing spots lie nearby, not to mention the awe-inspiring views from Pen y Fan, 23 miles from your door.

Relax by the log burner and sink into one of many cosy armchairs in the first living room. The mix of textures in this space creates a homely ambience which invites you to switch off and unwind in comfort. The dining furniture adds an element of grandeur and provides a stylish place to dine communally with friends and family. A second log burner warms the drawing room where a pool table awaits a dose of healthy competition; celebrate your win or drown your sorrows in the private wood-fired hot tub as canine companions sniff out the night’s scents. After a day spent roaming the local wilderness, rustle up tasty treats in the farmhouse-style kitchen before dozing off in one of the quirky bedrooms, two of which are downstairs.

Scampering, stick chasing and sniffing can be enjoyed in the enclosed garden, as can a spot of splashing in the babbling brook or private waterfall! For more adventurous outdoor escapes, step into the Brecon Beacons National Park and follow well-trodden footpaths or explore off the beaten track. 5 miles away, the picturesque town of Hay-on-Wye offers fantastic places to enjoy a bite to eat, many of which welcome waggy-tailed guests.

The house is so comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. It's in the most perfect location for incredible walks straight out of the house. We loved our time there and will be back!

Very remote up a narrow country lane, a real home from home comfy cottage. Surrounded by grazing sheep, an array of birdsong, and other wildlife.

This is a stunning period house in a beautiful, wild location. We particularly liked the garden and brook running through it, which is well enclosed so no worry of your dog escaping. Lots of living space and a lovely mix of old and new renovation. Hot tub, although great when hot can frustrating to keep going or have warm when you want it.

Beautiful location, but be warned of 2 mile single track road to get there. Lots of great facilities on site, everything you need, be aware table tennis and extra logs are in the out house. Not suitable for very young children due to lots of steep stone steps inside and out. Lovely views from the property. Great having an enclosed garden and streamRead more. Hot tub lovely spot, amazing for star gazing, but takes 3 hours to heat and need to change the water for multiple uses. Cleaning could be improved. Hide

The cottage was lovely and the location was ideal. Perhaps the rate was high due to the hay festival but it was over priced and not quite as nice as the photos suggested.
