This charming property, situated outside Crickhowell just half a mile from a dog-friendly pub, is perfect for a romantic getaway for two – and the dog! Sleeping you both in a peaceful double bedroom that’s decorated in tranquil blue tones, you’ll soon feel refreshed and ready to get out and explore the Blaen y Glyn waterfalls (14 miles), Pen y Fan (20 miles) or Waun Fach (14 miles). And when it’s time for a rest, you can head back to your cosy base to sit and relax looking out at wonderful views of the Usk Valley and beyond.
The property, which is conveniently located on the A40 with easy access to Abergavenny (7 miles) and Brecon (13 miles), is bright and airy with lots of rustic charm. The open-plan living space is filled with light, but becomes a cosy haven in the evenings where you can snuggle up on the sofa or in an armchair as the pup snoozes by your feet. Exposed beams and brick paired with a wood burner separating the living and kitchen areas give the place a country-cottage style feel, while glossy surfaces and delicate lighting in the kitchen bring a touch of the contemporary. Spend summer evenings sizzling up a BBQ on the patio, enjoying al fresco drinks until sundown in the company of your pup.
Hire a boat for the day from Beacon Park Boats (2.5 miles) where the dog will love looking out at the wildlife as you glide down the canal. Dogs are also welcome to accompany you to discover the history of the Blaenavon Ironworks (11 miles); pair your trip with a ride on the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway from High Level Station (11.5 miles). If you want some inspiration for short dog-friendly walks, the Brecon Beacons National Park Visitor Centre (18 miles) is a great starting point and there’s even a tearoom for a bite to eat.
