Property code: 91150

This beautifully designed terraced cottage is a year-round getaway for two, with a wood burner for winter warmth and an enclosed garden ideal for summer BBQs (also a great place for your furry friend to sniff and play chase). It’s set in the historic market town of Brecon, perfectly placed for cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops and, of course, walking and all kinds of adventures in the great Welsh outdoors.

After a day’s adventures, open the front door of this characterful holiday home, hang your coats and lead just inside, and flop down on the comfy sofa by the wood burner. Read a book, get out a map or switch on the Smart TV to catch up with your favourite shows. When you start to feel hungry, head through to the pretty kitchen/diner, a bright and airy space with fitted cupboards and a dishwasher for easy cleaning up. The charming double bedroom is on the first floor, decorated in calming, neutral tones for a peaceful night’s sleep, and with the benefit of an en-suite shower room. The lovely lawned garden outside has a BBQ and table and chairs for you to while away the warm evenings with a drink or an alfresco meal.

Explore beautiful Brecon and enjoy its Georgian architecture, cafes, restaurants and shops, and perhaps wander along the canal to Brynich Lock, where you can picnic beside the lock keeper’s cottage. The surrounding countryside of hills, mountains, moorland, ancient oak woodland and riverside paths is heaven for walkers, whether you prefer a gentle stroll or a challenging climb. For a change of pace, head to the book lovers’ town of Hay-on-Wye, 16 miles, or Abergavenny, 21.5 miles, with its arts and foodie scene, weekly markets and ancient ruined castle.

I cannot recommend this property more! This was THE sweetest little cottage in a perfect central location and fully equipped with everything you could need. The log burner was a favourite feature and we particularly loved the attention to detail by the owner, with books/ maps for local walks and recommendations to visit nearby businesses. The kitchRead moreen was well equipped and rear garden for dog was fab! A lovely find and support for a small town and local businesses. We would 100% stay here again! Hide

Such a gem of a place, location is 5 mins from town in one direction and the canal in the other, plenty of places nearby to eat and drink. 2 supermarkets in easy distance. The cottage itself was peaceful and cosy, very clean and comfortable and well stocked and laid out kitchen. The host had thought of everything, cant wait to come back!
