  • The local village of Talgarth has a fascinating mill which you can visit before eating in the café
  • Brimming with rustic charm, this old cider house accommodates 8 guests and is perfect for adventurous families to call home
  • Walk straight from the local common along the path to Myndd Troed in the Black Mountains
Property code: BN190

Unleash adrenaline-fuelled adventures for the whole family, this spacious former cider house is located in the heart of the Brecon Beacons in the charming village of Talgarth and welcomes a group of up to six plus one bow-wow. Walk straight from the local common along a path that leads to Mynydd Troed, a hill in the Black Mountains that presents the most spectacular panoramas over Llangorse Lake and Pen Y Fan. After a day of roving with Rover, retire to the welcoming cwtch of this characterful cottage, a genuine Welsh retreat.

Let sleeping dogs lie in front of the wood burner as your party gathers together in the cosy oak-beamed lounge, where puzzled and board games adorn the shelves – it’s an enticing space for an evening of relaxation. There is also a second, smaller lounge with TV and plenty of seating, offering an additional space to either socialise or find some peace and quiet. A traditional electric cooker dominates the kitchen, which is a warm and inviting space; dine in the adjoining breakfast room with its traditional farmhouse table, perfect for family mealtimes. There is also a handy downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs you’ll find three spacious bedrooms; two doubles and a family room; all having retained a sense of the old world charm which runs through the entire property. There is also a family bathroom on this floor. The mature cottage garden (enclosed) is quite the sight to behold come the warmer months, with its vivid displays of colour. Here you can enjoy a relaxing cuppa as you take in the pretty surroundings. Dog’s are sure to have a ball as they frolic across the large expanse of the second lawn, which sits just across the lane – this part of the garden however, isn’t fully enclosed but offers plenty of space for a run around from a long lead. There is also space to store away bikes in the garage.

Certainly a place to enjoy outdoor adventures, the immediate area surrounding this ancient cottage offers plenty of opportunity to embark on activities involving your entire pack; explore off the beaten track and stop for a picnic mid-trail, look up and you might even get a glimpse of a Red Kite soaring above your head, or take one of the more popular routes from your doorstep and explore the Pwll-y-wrach Nature Reserve. The Black Mountains Gliding Club is less that 2 miles from the property; book yourselves a glide or simply witness others in the air from the local common. The bustling town of Brecon is situated just 19 miles away and is a great spot for enjoying a pub lunch in a dog-friendly establishment.

A lovely cosy cottage full of charm and everything you could need. Great location for walks in the Brecon Beacons and we really appreciated all the wood for games around the wood burner in the evening! Would definitely return!

We had a lovely stay, cosy comfortable cottage which is like a Tardis as much bigger than expected. Whilst old fashioned it added to the character.

The cottage was delightful. So peaceful and surprisingly spacious. Beautiful garden. It was a bit dated, but that added to the joy of our stay. Fabulous location! We had the most lovely time. Would recommend this wonderful cottage! Only one downside was the beds were not super comfy, however, we would still come back to stay!

Excellent base for exploring Wales in all directions. The house was equipped with everything you could need. The town of Talgarth very much like a step back in time and very peaceful. Highly recommended if you want a chill out break.

This is a charming cottage with beautiful gardens in the pretty village of Talgarth.

Great location with walks and shops/pub/takeaway within a short walking distance from the house. Lovely private cottage garden to the rear and plenty of parking to the side. Property and furniture still has period features which was lovely to see and experience. All rooms are nice and spacious and great to have the log burner for colder days/nights

We had a great holiday at Hendre, very good value for a spacious house. Old fashioned on the inside but not a problem for us. Lovely garden for breakfast and dinner, in full bloom during our stay. Good location for the village shops (Pobl bakery was a highlight) and for the main roads.
