Set in a secluded spot on the border between Wales and Herefordshire, this cosy stone cottage offers romantic accommodation for a couple looking for a wonderful rural idyll. Surrounded by nearly 600 acres of National Trust common land, this is the perfect holiday home for dog-owners looking for miles of glorious countryside walks to keep their canine companions entertained.
Nestling deep in the Welsh hillside this lovely and welcoming 16th-century cottage can be reached via a bumpy farm track and is accessed through a sloping grassy garden. Stepping inside is like stepping back in time: the cottage retains many original features including sturdy exposed beams, wooden flooring, exposed stonework and a traditional wood burner set in a large inglenook fireplace. The tastefully furnished and beautifully decorated lounge is a lovely space to relax in. The dining area is full of character and the traditional kitchen is perfect for preparing any meal. Stepping outside, you can enjoy the views from the raised terrace which makes a great spot for a BBQ while the dogs can play in the enclosed garden. Please note the bedrooms are reached via steep cottage-style stairs.
This is an ideal base for you and your canine pals to enjoy walking The Begwns. Dogs and their owners can head deep into the Brecon Beacons which has a wealth of activities to take part in, and there are wonderful walks to discover along the River Wye. The thriving town of Hay-on-Wye (6 miles) lies at the top of the Brecon Beacons and has a fantastic range of dog-friendly pubs, shops, cafes and restaurants. The town is famous for its book festival and numerous second-hand bookshops. There are plenty of delightful places to explore including Talgarth (9 miles), Crickhowell (21 miles) and Brecon (18 miles).
