Property code: MAWRD

Studded into the stunning countryside and set within a 400-acre beef and sheep farm lies this cosy cottage offering plenty of space for a family of five and up to two dogs. Perched on the edge of the Brecon Beacons you can spend your days walking, cycling fishing or exploring, and your evenings snuggled up on the sofa playing board games with the kids, perhaps pausing to refill your glass of wine or give your pup a belly rub. The emphasis here is on rest, relaxation and recharging your hard-working batteries.

Packed with period features such as exposed wooden beams and stripped oak doors throughout, you’ll feel completely at home the minute you walk through the door. The well-designed open-plan lounge/dining room is comfortable and welcoming, with stone steps providing an unusual focal point and entrance to the kitchen. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are light and bright, with traditional pine beds continuing the classic country feel of the rest of the cottage.

Outside, you have your pick of wonderful walks in every direction as soon as you step foot out of the door. The national park is home to waterfalls, caves and prehistoric monuments and no matter how much time you spend here, you’ll stumble across something new each and every day. As a Dark Sky Reserve, nightfall is a pretty special time here and on clear evenings you can expect to be dazzled by a sky filled with stars and galaxies. There is a well-stocked shop 3 miles from the cottage and a friendly pub just over a mile away.

A lovely quiet location. The cottage itself was comfortable, but seemed a little tired and in need of a bit of TLC. Some literature about the local area and walks etc would be a good addition.

Lovely cottage in a countryside location. Nice accommodation in a quiet place away from all the big towns, but close enough to drive to everywhere you need. Great for families and good that we could bring the dogs too!

Lovely stay at Dew cottage. The view from the cottage is exceptional and there are actually a number of routes locally which are nice to not always get in the car. We enjoyed walking to the pub too in the village. Really beautiful location, we like this part of the world.

Beautiful situation, but car parking got a little hairy, as there were 4 cottages close together, and several cottages accommodated extended families.
