Book a stay in this inviting, stone, riverside cottage and take a pair of ecstatic hounds with you. Situated at Cregrina, 7.5 miles from Builth Wells, in Mid Wales, it sleeps six people across three bedrooms and could be ideal for a dog-loving family eager to get out and about in the great outdoors. Head approximately 11 miles from here to reach the famous book town of Hay-on-Wye, on the northern tip of the Brecon Beacons, with its many fine dog-walking routes.

Call the pups into the cottage and watch them settle immediately in the lounge/diner. Light the wood burner; watch the TV/DVD with Amazon TV Firestick, then take a few steps down into the kitchen to feed your furry friends and prepare dinner for everyone else. Find a utility room down a step from the kitchen, with a WC and useful washing machine and dryer. Climb one set of stairs up to a twin room and another set that are steep and narrow to a double bedroom, family bathroom and additional twin sleeping area behind curtains on the mezzanine, perfect if travelling with children. Take your furry friends out into the garden when you awake. Have breakfast, lunch or dinner out here as they enjoy the fresh air and you gaze out over the river. Find off-street parking for one car at the cottage, plus space for another on the road.

Drive 7 miles to picturesque Groe Park in Builth Wells to see the giant redwood trees. To stretch furry legs on a good long walk, head 5 miles to the Begwyns, a scenic common owned by the National Trust with stunning views over towards the Brecon Beacons. Pick up Offa’s Dyke Path in Hay-on-Wye and follow it for a stretch along the border of Wales and England, with your happy hounds by your side.

The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. It is an old reconnovated cottage in a very quiet hamlet which suited us fine for walking and fishing in the trout river. There are sheep everywhere so it is difficult allowing your dog off the lead to exercise but it is Wales after all.
