This one-of-a-kind family holiday home is set within a vast estate in which two-legged and four-legged guests are free to roam. This charming stone cottage offers a peaceful setting for six visitors and two happy hounds in the unparalleled beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
This Grade I-listed accommodation is a joy to wake up in daily, thanks to its characterful decor, well-designed spaces and glorious gardens that stretch as far as the eye can see. Step inside via the gated courtyard, and you’ll be welcomed by a fully equipped, beautiful kitchen, a generous dining room and a large lounge that is the epitome of relaxation after exploring the beaten track. Stroke your pups to sleep in front of the crackling wood burner, or tuck into some healthy competition from the selection of board games available. Upstairs, you have a choice of three splendid bedrooms, with pillowy beds and vistas across the surrounding grounds. Answer some emails or make some phone calls in the home office. Outdoors, evenings are well spent playing fetch with the pooches in the enclosed garden, where a table provides a sharing spot for hearty dishes and tasty tipples.
Spend your mornings sniffing the pathways to the River Usk for wild swimming and waggy-tailed paddles, or take to the wild meadows for memorable walks. Suppose you can tear yourself away from the history, wildlife and natural beauty of the surrounding estate. In that case, the bustling market town of Brecon (6 miles) is worth the car journey, with its jazz festival, boutique shopping experience and several lovely cafes. Lead up the Black Mountains, Fan Fawr or Pen y Fan, for beautiful views and a fantastic sense of achievement.
