  • Charming character cottage set in the peaceful Welsh border village of Clyro

Property code: 88077

Tucked away on the north-eastern outskirts of the Brecon Beacons National Park in the sleepy village of Clyro, this picture-postcard cottage is an ideal place to relax and unwind. Perfect for families and their four-legged friends, you will be able to enjoy walks from your doorstep amongst the unbridled countryside, before heading home to curl up in front of the wood burner with loved ones. Despite its quiet location, you’re only 1.5 miles from book lover’s haven, Hay-on-Wye with its range of independent shops and eateries.

As charming on the inside as it is on the outside, this country cottage is welcoming and homely. Original features, such as exposed beams and stone fireplaces, blend effortlessly with a mix of contemporary and traditional furniture, whilst warm wooden tones add comfort. On the ground floor, there’s plenty of space for everyone with a well-equipped kitchen/diner a lounge with a wood burner, a snug and a garden room. Meanwhile, up the cottage stairs, there are three delightful bedrooms and a family bathroom. Heading outside, you can explore the rambling garden, enjoy views of the waterfall from the original ‘ty bach’ or light the fire pit and enjoy a spot of stargazing.

Both two-legged and four-legged guests will enjoy walks from your doorstep but, further afield, why not head to the top of the Brecon Beacons’ highest summit, Pen-y-Fan (20 miles), to enjoy the spectacular views? Perhaps you’d prefer to partake in some water sports, in which case, Llangorse Lake (12.5 miles) is the ideal place. If you’re more inclined to take a gentle stroll around a quaint market town with tea and cake in a dog-friendly café, then you should head to Brecon or Crickhowell (within 20 miles). Venturing over the border into England, you could also visit Hereford (22 miles).

A delightful experience in a charming cottage. Location was excellent as we wanted to enjoy Hay on Wye and this cottage is so close. Clyro itself reminded me of being abroad in french country villages with its unspoilt beauty. If you like the countryside, peace and quiet and bookshops, this is the place for you!!

This was a lovelly and charming place to spend post our Xmas family time, albeit the staircase was difficult to use, i.e. fairly steep and slippery especially on the lower treads. The bedrooms are comfortable although - as can be expected - the floors are uneven in the landing area. and twin bedroom. The brook runs alongside the house - closed off Read morebut small dogs can escape under the gates/fenced areas and over the lower garden wall. The location is great - quiet area with good transport links. Hide

House was decorated beautifully throughout for our Christmas stay. It has everything you could need. Wood burner heats the home quickly (but youll need to buy more wood as it burns fast). Good location for Hay on Wye which is about a 20 min walk (3min straight road car ride away). Lots of quaint shops, cafes to be found. Chapters restaurant is fab!Read more! Great walks from the doorstep. Spacious house, large enclosed garden (our escape artist couldnt get out). Loved our stay! Hide

A lovely cottage, full of character. Very well equipped. The bed is so comfortable. Garden is good for dogs. The path down to the back of the cottage through the lovely rambling garden, is steep; something to be aware of if you have a lot of luggage.

I am glad that my children are not babies any more as the old stairs are slippery and you have to take it slow on the last few stairs. The children and dog loved playing in the brook and the fire pit at the top of the garden. The kitchen has everything you will need, but no condiments such as cooking oil.

The cottage was so lovely. The perfect size and location is amazing. Hay-on-Wye being at an easy walking distance is such a plus, as well as not being far from so so many beautiful walks, Hereford, Brecon and Leominster. The house was very clean, very cosy and has a lovely feel in keeping with the area.

We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back in the future. The house was clean, cosy and comfortable. Listening to the brook bubbling away was so calming. The host was especially helpful when we accidentally left something at the house after checkout and very kindly dropped it to a nearby relative of ours for us. 10/10.
