Property code: OC-C30837

Experience a tail-wagging good time on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, staying with your nearest, dearest and man’s best friend in this 300-year-old stone cottage. Long, rewarding walkies are on the agenda throughout your stay, a delight for all energetic doggos eager to sniff out wildlife and fetch sticks amidst the marvellous Mid-Wales countryside. Filled to the brim with cosy nooks and comfortable features, this home-from-home abode invites four guests and two furry friends to stay, offering an ideal base after days spent chasing tennis balls and seeking out beautiful sights.

Put your best paw forward and step into the lovely lounge/diner, a snuggly room with an inglenook fireplace and a wood burner ready to keep toes (and paws) warm after long walks. Listen to the satisfied snores of Fido and Rover as they snooze by the fire, sinking into the comfortable sofas and switching on the Smart TV. We’re sure your furry friends will wake up as soon as someone gets up to go into the kitchen, which is just next door. Outside, the property extends into an enclosed patio with outdoor furniture - a place to sit and sip a drink while your pups roam around freely. Back inside, find two luxurious bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, completing this top-dog property’s offering.

Discover a new leash of life in the incredible Brecon Beacons countryside, exploring mountains, lakes, woodlands, bridleways, and long-distance walking routes with your excitable doggos leading the way. Walk to the Glasfynydd Forest and the Usk Reservoir in less than 5 miles, keeping a keen eye on the sky to spot red kites circling above. Fan Brycheiniog, the highest peak in the region’s Black Mountains range is 11.5 miles away, and the tranquil waters of Llyn y Fan Fawr (5.5 miles) offer an unforgettable place for a dog walk at the foothills of the mountain.
