Whether you’re seeking an idyllic couples’ getaway or want to take your children and dogs on a quiet holiday in the Welsh countryside, this charming cottage is the perfect place for you. Set along a tranquil country lane near the small hamlet of Talyllyn, it’s surrounded by verdant countryside with far-reaching views over the Black Mountains and Llangorse Lake. There’s room for five, plus two canine companions, with a lawned garden for the kids and dogs to play and abundant outdoor activities nearby.
Laid out over two storeys with a conservatory running the depth of the property, this is a cosy and welcoming abode designed to make the most of the views, whatever the weather. Shrug off muddy boots and wipe down damp dogs in the convenient porch, before heading into the main living areas. There’s plenty of space for relaxing and snoozing, whether you want to curl up with a book in the light-filled conservatory or settle in for an evening of board games in the inviting lounge. Rustle up meals for the entire pack in the well-equipped kitchen, then savour your creations at the dining table in the conservatory or dine alfresco while the pups play on the lawn. Enjoy an evening tipple outside watching the stars in this Dark Sky Reserve, then head upstairs to find three welcoming bedrooms, a king-size, a twin and a single, along with the family bathroom.
The entire family is sure to go mutts for the range of outdoor activities in the area. The largest natural lake in Wales, Llangorse Lake offers catch-and-release fishing from boats, plus a wealth of water-based activities and a lovely lakeside trail. There’s walking, hiking, mountain biking and horse riding in the Brecon Beacons, and you can visit the lovely market towns of Hay-on-Wye (15 miles) and Brecon (5.5 miles).
