Property code: BN330

A magnificent stone Welsh longhouse that sleeps up to five people, this cottage offers total peace and tranquillity with scenic rural surroundings.

A treat of a retreat, this historic Welsh longhouse is set within a spectacular location for a truly authentic countryside break. Located on a 220-acre organic working farm within the Brecon Beacons National Park, enjoy sourcing delicious food and artisan goods, before cooking up a storm in the traditional style kitchen – the interiors of the property are simply beautiful. Offering space to sleep up to five guests and with two dogs also welcome, no one need be left behind. Spend your days roving with Rover across spectacular untamed countryside - leave no stick un-fetched, there’s an abundance of outdoor scenery to explore and enjoy.

Step into the generous hallway with Welsh slate tiles, where there is a downstairs wet room and disabled WC, handy for those in need of additional accessibility. The beautiful kitchen, traditional in style, has plenty of cupboard space and a big butler sink. Divided by a low wall, the kitchen also houses a large oak farmhouse table with seating for 7 under a characterful beamed ceiling and feature lighting; it is a welcoming “nook” for mealtimes. Beyond this sits an enticing seating area with windows facing the farmland, so you can relax and take in tranquil views. The lounge is also full of character and countryside charm; let sleeping dogs lie in front of the huge inglenook fireplace with wood burner, while you curl up on one of the cosy sofas and watch TV of an evening. Downstairs there is also an additional garden room with French doors. Upstairs there are three bedrooms; a double, a twin and a single bedroom (with one extra pull-out bed, if required) and a family bathroom. Access the enclosed garden via the garden room’s French doors, sheltered and kitted out with garden furniture and a BBQ, it’s the ideal space to enjoy a leisurely breakfast of fresh, organic produce.

The surrounding area is simply sublime. Organic farmland encircles the property and offers the opportunity to lead you all into a mass of outdoor adventures! Forge streams, explore wildlife ponds and turn over every stone in the ancient woodlands…You’ll most likely spot buzzards and red kits overhead and deer on the ground, as well as meet the neighbouring Welsh ponies. Jacob Sheep Trekking and “hands-on” farm experience can be arranged with the owners too. From your doorstep, access walking routes directly onto the Black Mountains and Fforest Fawr Geopark – there’s plenty of scope to tire your entire pack out! Shops and pubs are a 5.5-mile drive away, or for a dose of café culture and shops, Brecon and Llandovery are 15 miles away.

Animals and nature surround Top Of The Lane Cottage, which is within the farm's boundary and sits in its own private wilderness. On a beautiful, sunny, warm day, we walked from the doorstep to Llyn y Fan Fawr. When we returned, we used the small gated garden area at the back to cook a BBQ while taking in the natural wildlife garden and lambs. The cRead moreottage's whole estate is beautiful and peaceful. The cottage has been tastefully renovated and feels cosy. A return is on the cards. Hide

The cottage had everything that was required to make you feel really at home. It is ideally located as a base to both walk and tour in the Brecon Beacons. There is an abundance of wildlife in both the area near the cottage and further afield.

Cottage is rustic, peaceful and quiet, idyllic setting. It was lovely to wake up to the sounds of cows and sheep in the fields. Very well equipped kitchen. Beds were so comfortable which was very welcome after a day of walking round the beautiful countryside. If you want a relaxing holiday in a gorgeous location I recommend this lovely cottage.
