Property code: MAWRN

Ease into a slower pace of life, enjoy gorgeous views and head out on a variety of scenic walks from this charming cottage on the hillside between Brecon and Crickhowell. A lovely getaway for larger families and groups of friends, plus two canine companions, this is an ideal base for active holidays.

This cosy property offers a warm welcome and, conveniently, has two separate living rooms in which to relax. The lounge boasts plenty of comfortable seating and a Smart TV and DVD for entertainment, while the farmhouse-style dining room includes not only a large table but also a sofa, TV and wood burner around which you can gather. This room leads to the kitchen, kitted out with everything you’ll need to create tasty meals, and then to the utility room - a great place to store your pets’ food and pop down their bowls. All four bedrooms - two doubles and two twins - are on the first floor, along with a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Don’t miss the spectacular country views from the garden, where you can spend time in the sunshine on the enclosed patio, grilling something delicious on the BBQ, while your furry friends sniff about and chase their tails.

The cottage is located on the owners’ 400-acre farm on the edge of the Black Mountains. Renowned for its choice of walks, the area is also perfect for anyone interested in outdoor activities, including cycling, mountain biking, riding, sailing, fishing, caving and more. For a change, the fascinating Tretower Court and Castle is 3.5 miles, while the historic village of Talybont-on-Usk, 8 miles, has places to eat and drink, as well as a canal, reservoir, rivers, hills, woods and waterfalls to explore.

Enjoyed our stay, but felt the bedding could do with an update! One or two other maintenance issues, but they did not affect the stay! Glynn at 88, is doing remarkably well, considering he runs the farm together with wife Glo & son & daughter in law! The Farmers Arms, down the road, was good food, but we preferred the Bear at Crickhowell. Lots of gRead morereat walking and some on the flat i.e. canal paths and lakes.

Very happy indeed with the accommodation and helpfulness of the owners, who allowed us to postpone our original booking at very short notice (owing to illness). I would recommend the cottage as a great place to stay and a great location for exploring the Black Mountains. Very comfortable and quiet.

A wonderfully unfussy house which was able to comfortably accomodate us (ages 2 - 84) for a week. The kitchen has all that you need and we cooked for ourselves most evenings. Our meal out was at the Farmers Arms in Cwmdu. The food was excellent. We found lots to do in the area. Tretower Castle was great for old and young. Llangorse Lake was good foRead morer rowing and paddleboarding. We walked in the hills near the house, up from Crickhowell and up and around Pen y Fan. The paths are well kept. Hide

A really lovely comfortable house with absolutely stunning views but the kitchen and bathrooms just required a quick wipe over then we were very happy to be there. The owners were very lovely and popped round with a tub of homemade cakes which were gratefully received and very yummy.

Mawr Neuadd Fach is a 4 bed cottage situated in a remote part of Cwmdu, with 3 other cottages. Our party consisted of 4 adults, 4 children plus a dog. There was ample room for us all and having the two seating areas was a bonus. We awoke each morning to sheep at the back and views of the Brecons Mountains to the front. The children loved it and we Read moredidnt have to travel far for places to visit. The Owners were often about should we need anything and their welcome cake went down a treat. Hide
