Property code: BN273

The perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the mountains, lakes and steeply wooded gorges of the southern Brecon Beacons, enjoy the sounds of the river at this charming stone cottage.

Perched on the banks of the River Tawe on the southern fringes of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this delightful stone cottage offers waterside views to restore your inner calm. It’s ideal for friends or families with older children who want to explore the area’s inspirational landscape of mountains, lakes, waterfalls and gorges with their beloved canine. On chilly evenings, enjoy family time snuggling up on the sofa with your pup curled up at your feet as the wood burner flickers.

Light and spacious, this elegant holiday cottage feels like a real home from home, and you’ll be getting your feet (and paws) under the table in no time. Make a cuppa and catch a few early morning rays in the small sunroom before heading out and about. When you return from your travels, chat about the highlights of your day over family meals in the dining room. If it’s a warm day, sit outside with a picnic in the riverside garden while keeping a close eye on your canine as it isn’t enclosed. Afterwards, retire to the lounge to play a board game or read a book before heading upstairs to one of the four bedrooms. There’s space for a dog bed in the utility room.

Pre-breakfast walks are a joy as you can stroll along the river, which snakes behind the property through wildflower meadows to Diamond Park. For an underground adventure with your faithful friend, drive to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (7.5 miles). If you fancy a day at the beach, Swansea Bay (16.5 miles) has stretches of sand where dogs can run free year-round, as do many of the beaches on the spectacular Gower Peninsula, including the Mumbles (19 miles) and Three Cliffs Bay (24 miles).

We could not recommend this Cottage highly enough! Mrs Powell was ever so friendly and extremely helpful, making sure everything was spot on. Lovely touch with welcome pack, fresh bread, milk, Welsh cake, eggs and Welsh butter. We will miss our morning coffee`s sat watching the woodpeckers and blue tits eating from the bird table and falling asleepRead more to the sound of the river! Looking forward to returning to this beautiful part of the country. The Hayton Family, .... Hide

Wonderful home from home cottage, in a rural, yet accessible location. Fully equipped, unlike some cottages weve stayed in you really dont need to bring anything extra. Lots to visit in the surrounding area.

Lovely home with the beautiful riverside setting. Comfy beds, clean & we'll equipped. It feels very private & rural but the local town/shops/supermarket is all walkable. Lovely waterfall walks within 20 mins drive & 45 mins to the beautiful Gower

We had a lovely 2 week holiday in Parc House. The weather wasn't always the best, but when it wasn't good we really enjoyed having such a nice house to spend time in. It was our second visit (we stayed for 1 week before) and it was even nicer this time due to the addition of the garden room. We loved being next to the river, it feels like it is in Read morethe middle of the country when you are there. Yet it is only a short walk to Tesco Superstore and various takeaways etc. Highly recommended. Hide

Beautiful cottage by the river. I loved waking up to the sound of the river flowing right outside the window. Lovely home with everything that you need. We even had a visit from Mr fox in the garden a few nights.

Fantastic property, with everything you need for a nice relaxing holiday. The house was spotless when we arrived and being greeted with fresh milk, egg, butter, cake and coffee after along drive was just what we needed. The location is stunning with regular kingfishers sightings. The owner was very pleasant when we phoned and gave us some great infRead moreormation for hiking. The house manager was great and very helpful. Lovely place to stay and strongly recommend. Hide

The cottage is in an idyllic setting and it has been equipped with virtually anything anyone might need. There were few non-ethnic restaurants nearby but the Chinese and Indian takeaways are close and of good standard. However the cooking facilities are excellent and if the weather permits, the garden is a wonderful place to eat a meal.

Didnt want to return home, such a lovely cottage and setting. Ideal for us as only an hours drive to all the destinations we visited. Coldplay was amazing in Cardiff and we drove there and back didnt take us long.

A really lovely place to stay! Great our party of four adults and one dog (though note it doesn't have an enclosed garden) and very well equipped. Really beautiful to hear the sound of the river closeby too. Excellent amenities in the nearby town and great access to the southern parts of the Brecon Beacons. Would very happily stay here again.
