Overview
Property code: OC-BN200

Up to five of your four-legged friends will be in doggy seventh heaven when they discover the many attractions of this two-bedroom cottage near Llanfihangel-Nant-Bran. Sleeping up to four guests as well as a quintet of happy hounds, this homely retreat is not only surrounded by spectacular dog-walking Welsh countryside but also benefits from a large *enclosed rear grassy garden, where your hounds can enjoy some ball play and stretch their legs. From the cottage, wander down to the river whenever you choose or plan excursions out into the Brecon Beacons National Park, which begins just over 2 miles from home. (*see 'Need to Know' section for further details).

Unload children, pups and all your belongings from the car and then wander into the cottage to explore your new home from home. Let the pups pad about for a spell, while you fire up the wood burner in the large stone fireplace in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Return from exciting trips out together to relax in here together, with a film on TV and your happy but exhausted hounds dozing nearby and dreaming of their day. Prepare delicious dinners in the kitchen area and feed your four-legged friends here too. At the end of each fun-filled day, settle the pups then climb the stairs to two bedrooms: a double and a king-size. The family bathroom, where you can enjoy a bubble bath, is also here. Take your cheerful chums out to run in the rear garden before breakfast. Light the BBQ out here on balmy evenings, where there’s also space to store bikes.

Grab the leads and venture 10.5 miles from the cottage to the Usk Reservoir in the Brecon Beacons. Tire furry feet out with a 5.5-mile loop around the water. Follow waymarked trails with your faithful friends by your side through the scenic Crychan Forest, about 9 miles from your base. For more energetic walks, keen walkers are spoilt for choice when it comes to the Brecon Beacons National Park. Pen-y-Crug, known locally as ‘The Crug’ is an impressive hillfort situated 10 miles away from the property. It provides some good walking routes for all abilities and offers up magnificent views of the Black Mountains and beyond. Pen Y Fan is the highest peak in the Brecon Beacons National Park (14 miles) and is a must for walking enthusiasts. If you want to stay a little closer to sea level, travel to the nearby market town of Brecon (10 miles) for a scenic stroll along the many miles of the Monmouthshire to Brecon Canal.

The house is damp & the first smell when you enter is of damp. The house was also not properly cleaned, lots cobwebs everywhere, kitchen pots & lids not properly cleaned. Under the sink there is a mess with cleaning stuff, the kitchen worktops and various cutting boards were not cleaned properly. The fire place was not cleaned neither the glass dooRead morer. The clatter in the living room is overwhelming. The walls look dirty and in need of proper refurbishing. The only acceptable things were linen and towels , clean and new. The bedroom furniture should be repaired and refurbished, as the wardrobe is unusable, no place to hang clothes , with rubbish on the top. You can have old furniture, but it has to be fixed and cleaned. Overall this house should not be rented like this. Hide

Reading some of the reviews before I think some people should check out where it is they are actually going! Seriously complaining about the narrow roads it's Wales what did you expect? Also the cleanliness, it's a very old cottage that welcomes up to 5 dogs if it was pristine with polished surfaces and high gloss everywhere it would lose all of itRead mores character and I would be chasing the dogs around with a mop! We stayed here over Christmas 2025 and I can honestly say we and our 3 dogs loved it Hide

Enjoyed a lovely fortnight in this charming Welsh farmhouse cottage for the second year in a row. Sandra the owner is very welcoming. Great for the dogs : own garden and additionally a private field with a beck just down the lane. All basic household equipment supplied. Deliveries from Tesco, etc. can be arranged if necessary. Wonderfully peaceful Read morewith lots of wildlife and good for star gazing. Hide

Lovely location you couldn't fault but parts of the road to cottage overgrown and we scratched our vehicle quite a bit. Think the cottage needs a little TLC and a spring clean. Host lovely and welcoming and the cottage was well stocked with cookware etc Internet and phone reception very poor. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your Read morereview. Weve spoken to the owner and are informed there are two internet connections into the cottage and these will also allow wi-fi calling. Hide

Enjoyed a 3 night weekend with my dog pals in an admittedly remote but satisfyingly peaceful House Beyond the Mill. Almost everything I might need was available, surprisingly spacious cottage for its size - no concerns with space, even with 5 dogs! Garden mornings relaxing with the pups and Sheep company in the adjoining field were highlights as weRead morell as a toasty fire in the log burner on a chilly evening after a day of adventures nearby, Only had a single car passed by over the 4 days, LOVELY!
