Overview
Property code: OC-T30863

Roam the rolling Welsh hills and mountains with Rex before returning to relax at this gorgeous cottage. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, dog-friendly retreat is situated at Pentre-bach, 2 miles from the fringes of Bannau Brycheiniog, also known as the Brecon Beacons, and 11 miles from Brecon itself. With an abundance of character, a wood burner and a large garden, there is plenty here for hounds and humans to enjoy.

Follow your furry friend inside to find fabulous features such as exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings. Enter the friendly kitchen/diner, via the side door and reward your cheerful chum with brimming bowls of food and water. Put the kettle on and make the rest of the group a cup of tea. Prepare tasty holiday meals here to serve around the farmhouse table. Spend cosy evenings together in the lounge or the snug watching the Smart TV in either room; let your contented canine warm himself in the lovely glow of the wood burner in the main lounge. A family bathroom and a separate WC are also downstairs. Leave your furry friend behind you to enjoy his own superb sleep and head up to the bedrooms on the first floor. These include a king-size room, a twin and a bunk bedroom. A family shower room completes the internal layout. Take your pal outside to play in the beautiful garden on sunny days. Let him paddle in the stream - supervising him and any children at all times. Open a bottle of wine and cook on the BBQ on summer evenings. There is parking here for three cars.

A lovely, well equipped and very clean cottage. The house description states that there is a low wall and steps to the river and both our dogs managed to get in within minutes of arrival which they thought was great :). It is easily accessible but as said before this is made clear in the house details and with supervision it is fine, in fact, the Read moresound of the water is very relaxing and lovely for a refreshing paddle if the weather is warm. Communication from Jo prior to our stay was very welcome. The cottage is joined to the pub 'Tafarn Y Crydd' which we visited on several occasions. It is a Community owned pub and the landlord is really friendly and welcoming and although the pub is popular and right next door we were not disturbed by any noise. We found the location of the cottage to be perfect for walking and touring the area. We had a really comfortable week at Cobblers Cottage. Hide

This was our second visit to this beautiful cottage. It really is outstanding in both location and the cottage itself.

Deceptively spacious and immaculately clean. In a beautiful setting with the very welcoming village pub next door. Lovely riverside garden for the warmer days and a really good log burner for cosy nights in. The kitchen is very well equipped. Scenic walks from the door, or not far to the Brecon Beacons for higher mountains. Ticked every box for uRead mores. Hide

A great place to escape; so peaceful with all you could need - not disturbed by the pub. Long walks from the door and only a short drive to access the best of the Beacons. Really thoughtful gifts and nice touches in the kitchen - milk, tea, coffee, clingfilm etc. Plenty of space for our 3 dogs. Comfortable beds and quality towels. Would return.
