Bursting with character and creatively, this off-grid cottage in the Brecon Beacons is sure to inspire couples who come to stay with their four-legged friends. From exposed beams and original wood burners to intricate works of art and a rustic, hand built, wood-fired garden sauna, this property is utterly charming and a place you'll remember for many years to come. For an active adventure in the Black Mountains during your stay, you and your canines can climb to the summit of Sugar Loaf mountain, just 10 miles from your doorstep.
Warmed by the heat of a traditional wood burner, the living room is a wonderful place to kick back and relax with plenty of spots for Fido to snooze by the fire and sofas for you to sprawl out on after a long day. The whole room has been thoughtfully decorated with handpicked trinkets and sculptures creating a space which is sure to set your creative juices flowing. What's more, the sofa in the lounge has a trundle pull out offering sleeping space for up to two additional guests. The kitchen/diner is equally fascinating, with grand exposed beams, a wood-fired range, original tiles and a beautifully crafted dining table seating four. Completing the ground floor is a picturesque study with great countryside views, ideal for a moment of peace. Upstairs, the master bedroom is elegant with unique art pieces lining the walls and a freestanding bath tub for your enjoyment. Outside is equally as impressive as the inside with a pretty terrace area enveloped by dense woodland. You'll also have access to the shared, hand built, rustic wood-fired sauna during your stay.
Spend a day in the picturesque town of Crickhowell (4 miles) and you'll find a wealth of walks which are sure to set tails wagging, from a tour of Crickhowell Castle, to strolls beside the River Usk. Another option is to let your dog lead the way around a visit to Clydach Gorge, a marvellous wooded gorge with a rushing river and a number of fascinating landmarks to sniff out along the way. For pups who love to be beside the water, pay a visit to Llangorse Lake (14 miles) and you can soak up the serenity of the area before heading to one of the local dog-friendly pubs to refuel.
