Set on a working farm surrounded by rolling countryside, this generously-sized cottage for four is full of traditional farmhouse charm. Relax in an ideal base for walking, with the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains on your doorstep. Take two four-legged loved ones along on your getaway, within reach of a multitude of attractions for all the family.

Enter the warming lounge/diner with comfortable sofas and wood burner, making for a cosy retreat all year round. Through from the dining area to the well-equipped kitchen, cook a family favourite meal while you look out over the fields. Throw off your boots in the hall and relax in a ground floor snug with a convenient sofa bed to enjoy quietly reading. A handy shower room makes pups’ play of sand and mud, after a day well spent exploring the great outdoors. Upstairs, retire to one of two bedrooms, a master king-size and a twin, both decorated with pleasant touches, attention to detail and warm wooden floors. Repose in a good-sized enclosed garden with patio furniture, looking out to the fields. Ample parking is at the fore of the cottage.

The lovely little town of Crickhowell, with two butchers, a bakers, Post Office and shops is just 5 miles. For bibliophiles, Hay-on-Wye is within 15 miles, home to a range of independent stores and book shops. Nearby attractions where canines can join in the fun include the Craig-y-Nos Country Park (32 miles), The Brecon Mountain Railway (20 miles) and South Wales Borders Museum (12 miles). Or relax and unwind in a dog-welcoming pub just over a mile away with a large, lawned outdoor seating area at the back.

We love the cottage, and very much appreciated that the concerns we raised after last year's stay had all been attended to, thank you.

We have stayed in many dozens of cottages over the past 30 years. This was the best location of any we've stayed in, by far: quiet, breathtaking countryside, but with all the mod-cons required. Clean, spacious, well-equipped. Highly recommended.

Great rural location with a couple of good pubs within 5 minutes drive. The house worked really well with 4 people and our dog loved it

We had an incredible stay, the owners and family were really responsive, kind and helpful. We loved the location of the house, the view out the kitchen window was beautiful. This stay was exactly what we were looking for, remote and quiet apart from the sound of birds and sheep. It was our dog's first ever holiday so were a bit nervous how it wouldRead more be but it exceeded all expectations. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. Hide
