Set tails wagging with a stay at this Grade II-listed gem of a cottage in the thriving market town of Brecon. Perched midway up King Charles Steps, this cosy hideaway brims with historic charm and is just a whisker away from the heart of town. Brecon is a wonderful base for visitors to the Brecon Beacons, offering a mix of Georgian architecture, historic sights, and a wealth of outdoor adventures. Sleeping four people in two bedrooms, this delightful abode welcomes couples, families and groups of friends travelling with their beloved hound.
Accessed via a small footbridge and laid out over three storeys, this quirky cottage has an abundance of character. Venture inside to find a beautifully modernised space blended with original features, offering this period dwelling a new leash of life. The entrance takes you to the middle floor of the building, where you’ll find a cosy lounge with exposed stone walls and a warming wood burner. Stairs lead down to the lower-ground-floor kitchen/diner that opens onto a small courtyard. This atmospheric space is ideal for entertaining, with a well-equipped kitchen and a family dining table next to an Everhot electric stove for cool days and an outdoor table for dining alfresco. When it’s time to let sleeping dogs lie, refresh in the ground-floor bathroom, then head to the first floor where you’ll find two cosy and welcoming bedrooms, a double and a twin.
Let Fido lead the way to adventure as you explore the winding streets of Brecon and set off for walkies along the Usk River Promenade. History-loving hounds will be delighted to learn that they can even accompany their two-legged family into Brecon Cathedral, all within a couple of hundred metres of this cottage. Head out of town to the National Park Visitor Centre (6 miles) to find an abundance of walking paths sure to delight man and dog alike.
