Escape into nature with a stay in this charming countryside cottage, enveloped by the rolling emerald landscape of the Brecon Beacons National Park. This homely abode is sure to be a hit with outdoor lovers, leisure-seekers, and furry adventurers alike. Get tails wagging as you traverse the dense trails of the Blaen-y-glyn Waterfalls Circular (11 miles), before curling up for a post-walk snooze in the ambient glow of the wood burner.
This historic hideaway features a cosy interior with warm earthy tones, exposed wooden beams, and rustic textures throughout. Dry soggy paws with a fluffy towel and ease out of hiking boots at the cottage entrance. Stepping down, be lulled into the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner by the crackling wood burner set in a striking brick fireplace. Sink onto the armchair with a brew and delve back into a novel. As the evening draws in, whip up a meaty feast for your hungry hound then cook up a storm for the rest of the pack. Adorn the table with a hearty evening spread and dine overlooking the Tor-y-Foel mountain. After dinner, retire to the lounge area and whip out the board games or unwind with a movie. Ascend the staircase to find a characterful family room with a double and a twin. After being hounded out for an early morning saunter, drink in tranquil country views from the patio. Set Fido’s senses alight with a visit to the owner’s garden peppered with an array of fruits, herbs, and vegetables.
Settle in for a traditional pub lunch in Llangynidr’s 16th Century Inn (2.5 miles) which warmly welcomes four-pawed patrons. Embark on a sailing adventure on the rippling waters of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal with Beacon Park Boats (7 miles) or snuffle through the impressively preserved ruins of Blaenavon Ironworks (15 miles).
