An excellent choice for large groups of family or friends, and welcoming two pups, this impressive property is comfortable and full of character. After days in the great outdoors, get cosy by the wood burner with your mutts by your feet, or enjoy a BBQ as they wag their tails in the safely enclosed garden.

This gorgeous holiday escape is packed with original features, including sloping ceilings with wooden beams and beautiful timber doors. Old flagstones cover the floor of the country-style kitchen/diner, which provides the chef of the holiday with everything they’ll need to cook up hearty meals, as well as a long, sturdy dining table and French doors with steps down to the garden. There’s an extra fridge and freezer in the utility, too – the ideal place for storing your mutts’ food and setting down their bowls. Also on the ground floor are both twin bedrooms, the bunk-bed room and the single, all sharing a shower room. Head upstairs to find the superb lounge, filled with plush seating and with a central wood burner plus a Smart TV. From here, five steps lead up to the king-size bedroom, another sumptuous space which has a handsome en-suite bathroom. A balcony off the lounge offers incredible views, and leads to the garden via a flight of stone steps. There’s a patio, a raised pond and a huge lawn that’s perfect for hounds and children to play. You’ll have parking for two cars (three on request).

Hairy hounds can take the lead in lakeside walks at Llangorse (1.5 miles), or a more challenging hike up Pan y Fan (14 miles), the highest peak in southern Britain. Head to the Usk Valley (12 miles), for more incredible scenery, or enjoy a gentle stroll around the book town of Hay-on-Wye (15 miles).

We had a great time in the cottage. The large open kitchen and living room were fantastic communal and social spaces. The fire was great even in June! For the price this cottage delivers most things you would want.

The Old Coach House is a charming, rustic country property in a fantastic location. The garden and living room are the highlights, and the surrounding Brecon Beacons are a beautiful area to explore. The open fire in the centre of the living room creates a cosy and unique atmosphere, and the kitchen is very well equipped with a wide range of applianRead moreces. There were, unfortunately, several issues during our stay. Most of these should be relatively straightforward to address and, with a little TLC, the property could be a really special holiday home. There were several cleanliness issues. These were mainly in less visible areas (behind doors, under beds, and above eye level), but the level of dust and cobwebs suggested the property had not been deeply cleaned for some time. There was a noticeable musty smell in cupboards, appliances and rooms, and we found black mould on the underside of a bathmat. The property has a number of quirks, which can be expected in an older building, but it would have been helpful to have these outlined clearly in advance: There is no recycling provision at the property. Guests are required to take recycling away with them. There was no dish cloth provided for cleaning dishes or surfaces. The cooker grill cannot be used for extended periods without causing issues. The heating system is older and the pipes make frequent, loud noises, which did affect sleep. Contacting the owner was difficult. Communication had to go through the booking platform, which led to some confusion, and direct contact details were not initially provided. Overall, this is a property with a lot of character and potential in a beautiful setting. With clearer communication and some attention to maintenance and cleaning, it could offer a much stronger guest experience. Hide

Was a lovely cottage with lovely scenery. Really close to the lake which we fished. The fire pit and BBQ were a perfect addition and the supply of logs was great Thank you.
