Set in open countryside, this charming cottage with a large garden is perfect for families and friends – including four-legged ones – to explore the natural beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Step out of your front door to enjoy endless countryside walks: stroll along the tranquil towpath of the Monmouthshire Brecon Canal or bound along the Bailey Walk at historic Hay-on-Wye. Visit Abergavenny or Crickhowell to browse the independent stores before stopping for lunch in one of the many dog-friendly pubs and cafes.
This traditional stone cottage is bursting with character and traditional features. The covered porch is handy for taking off dirty boots and cleaning up muddy paws before entering the cosy living space. The lounge/diner is the perfect spot to relax after a long walk; curl up on the sofa with a good book while your hound stretches out in front of the wood burner. Pick up some local produce and rustle up a meal in the open-plan kitchen. Up the cottage-style stairs are the two bedrooms: a double, and a single with an extra truckle mattress that can be made into a king-size on request. The bedrooms share a family bathroom. Tails will wag at the sight of the large enclosed garden backing onto open fields. Enjoy the evening sun with an al fresco drink or fire up the BBQ for a sociable supper.
Close to the traditional villages of Bronllys and Llandefalle, your cottage is in a central location for exploring the hills and valleys of the Brecon Beacons. Walk the grounds of ancient Bronllys Castle (3.5 miles) before strolling along the riverbank to the market town of Talgarth and stopping for tea at the restored Talgarth Mill. Spend the morning at Pwll-y-Wrach Nature Reserve (5 miles), wandering through the woodland to the ‘Witches’ Pool’ waterfall.
