Bursting with character, this rustic countryside cottage is a haven for walkers and their four-pawed pals looking to explore the Brecon Beacons National Park. Having been renovated to a high standard, much of its original charm has been retained, so the property seamlessly blends the old with the new to create a cosy space for families and couples to relax. Let your hound lead the way to adventure with a climb up to the summit of Pen Y Fan just 5 miles away, the highest peak in South Wales, and you’ll be rewarded with majestic views from the summit.
This cosy abode will charm you from the moment you step inside. The lounge sits at the heart of the home with exposed beams, a feature fireplace with a coal-effect gas fire, and earthy tones throughout to help you truly unwind. Next door, the kitchen/diner has a traditional farmhouse feel with natural wood hues and nods to the property’s past. With plenty of space to cook up a storm, dual-aspect windows and a beautiful antique dining table, the room creates a wonderful atmosphere for family mealtimes. Take the staircase up to the first floor and you’ll find two bedrooms, the first of which is an elegantly styled space with a brass-framed double bed, armchair and vaulted ceiling. Next door, the twin enjoys exposed stone walls and far-reaching views of the countryside beyond. Completing the property is the calming bathroom with a wood-panelled tub and a skylight window, where you can relax after a long day out exploring with your pup. When the sun is shining, the garden is the place to be, whether you’re enjoying a picnic at the table whilst your hounds run and play, or sitting and watching the stars from the oak-framed awning.
Ideally located for those who want to get active in the national park, there are options in every direction, including a walking route beside the River Usk which is sure to set tails wagging, accessible less than half a mile from your doorstep. Another fantastic spot for families is Llangorse Lake (7 miles) where you can have a wall with an array of water sports and walkies. Alternatively, for more laid-back pups, head to the market towns of Crickhowell (11 miles) and Abergavenny (17 miles) to find an array of dog-friendly cafes and pubs where they can snooze by the fire whilst you dig into a hearty meal.
