Nestled amongst the stunning Welsh countryside at the north-eastern tip of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this charming country cottage is a great base from which to explore the area’s natural beauty. It’s the perfect location for families and their four-legged friends, with a number of walks from your doorstep and beyond. Situated within the village of Velindre, the cottage occupies a peaceful rural position, with the convenience of a pub in the village itself, and shops in neighbouring Talgarth (3 miles).

After admiring the cottage’s picture-perfect exterior, step inside where you’ll find an abundance of rural charm with exposed beams, stone fireplaces and flagstone floors all adding character and warmth. The ground floor is home to a cosy lounge with a wood burner – perfect for curling up in front of at the end of a busy day – alongside a kitchen/diner and an additional snug area, all of which are light and airy. Upstairs, there are four well-presented bedrooms, a shower room and a family bathroom whilst, outside, two-legged and four-legged guests alike will love the enclosed garden with its lawn and patio area.

Situated in the foothills of the Black Mountains, one of the Brecon Beacons’ four ranges, you and your canine companions can choose from a range of walks, including the ascent of the highest summit, Waun Fach (28 miles). A little closer to home, you can enjoy the ancient woodland and waterfalls of Pwll y Wrach Nature Reserve (4 miles). For those keen to take to the water, head to Llangorse Lake (8 miles), or for other outdoor activities head to The Black Mountain Activity Centre (2 miles). For a quiet stroll around a market town followed by tea and cake in a dog-friendly café, Hay-on-Wye, Crickhowell and Brecon are worth a visit.

For us Sunnybank was perfectly located on a quiet road, with easy access and plenty of parking space. We had glorious April weather and after a day out walking it was nice to return to a very comfortable house. The garden was nice for the dogs and is very secure. Watching the lambs playing in the field at the back of the house and hearing the cuckoRead moreo every day were surprise bonuses. A well stocked Co op supermarket is a few minutes drive away in Talgarth. Highly recommended. Hide

This is a wonderful place to stay if you like to be secluded. We stayed over Christmas, so it was just right. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, with a lovely cosy lounge and log burner. Sadly the local pub has closed down.

Comfortable and welcoming cottage in a quiet village. Just a shame the local pub no longer operates.

Lovely cottage, lovely location. Loved sitting in garden and watching the sheep being herded by the sheepdogs. The red kites circling over the mountains the owls calling at nighttime. The mist rising over the mountains in the mornings.

Sunnybank is a most welcoming and cosy cottage with plenty of room for dogs. There is even a fully fenced dog park two minutes walk along the road.

Everything was very acceptable and we had a fantastic week. The only shortfall, and this may sound a little over the top, was that there were not any toilet brushes available!! A lovely holiday, nice weather, wonderful scenery, thank you very much indeed.
