Property code: OC-48309

We believe that your four-legged friend should never be left out of family adventures, and this cottage will make the perfect escape for you and your canine. Located in the heart of the Black Mountains on a working farm, you’ll truly be set away from the fast-pace of everyday life amongst the quietness of the countryside to explore at your own leisure. Ideal for large family getaways or a relaxing retreat with friends, there’s plenty of activities to suit everyone; whether it be cycling, walking or pony trekking in the neighbouring valleys.

This cottage offers a spacious country-style open-plan downstairs living area, in which one very well-behaved dog is welcome. This room is furnished with a wood burner and a large corner sofa, while on the left side of the room is a stylish kitchen and a chic farmhouse dining table. A little further on is where the kids among us can make themselves at home in the additional games room, which features a pool table, darts board and PlayStation. Upstairs, you’ll discover three bright, spacious bedrooms. The exterior of the property features an enclosed wildlife / insect friendly garden to allow your canine companion to run free, while coming furnished with garden seating and a BBQ for chilling out on summer evenings and observing the mountainous landscape. Please note any interaction with the animals must only be done with the permission and supervision of the owners and it might not always be appropriate.

If you’re looking for the perfect destinations to walk your dog nearby, you may decide to pay a trip to the riverside town of Crickhowell (4 miles) or the larger town of Abergavenny which is 5 miles away. Within 25 miles, you can wander through stunning Brecon or Hay-on-Wye; the latter of which has gained popularity for its literary festival and numerous book shops in recent years.

This is a beautiful, well-appointed cottage in a gorgeous rural part of Wales. If has everything you need to enjoy the location. The owners are friendly and responsive. There's a wonderful games room with an American pool table, darts, pinball and a banging 90s music collection.

We had an amazing week at Jeanna's Cottage (2 adults and 2 teens). The views from the cottage were picture-perfect Wales; mountains, green lush fields and sheep with their new lambs. It was such a quiet, calm place, a real getaway from everything. We made the most of the wonderful games room playing darts and pool. The pinball machine was a real nRead moreovelty too. It was a good base for exploring the local area. It is very rural and the roads are tint, but fortunately my husband is comfortable with that. Definately need a sensible car for the local roads and driveway though. There was lots of information left about activities and local walks, which was useful. I have already recommended it to friends. Hide

We had a lovely stay at the cottage last weekend celebrating 50th birthdays. The cottage was well equipped with handy extras like weighing scales. There was plenty of space for us (6 adults) and the games room was fantastic - given our ages we particularly appreciated the CD collection! We liked all the eco-friendly products in the kitchen and bathRead morerooms. It's a beautiful spot - sadly too short a stay to explore it properly. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others. Hide

We had an absolutely amazing 2 weeks stay at Jeannas cottage. Beautiful location but be prepared for some tiny roads to get there. Cottage is very well equipped and spacious with stunning views from every direction. Plenty of walks and hills nearby with amazing vistas.

Nothing is too much trouble for the owners - they even provided us with some more charcoal for the bbq when needed! Will be back Hide
