  • Perfect for exploring the Brecon Beacons with access to Crickhowell and Abergavenny 
  • A haven for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts
Property code: 75217

Peacefully secluded within an established wildlife lake surrounded by farm woodland. This truly rustic cabin finished with vintage style is simply perfect for couples wanting to retreat from the real world.

Leave modern trappings behind and truly get away from it all in the Brecon Beacons, enjoying the company of your loved one and the peaceful sound of wildlife around you. This quirky lodge property is a delight for all who chose to stay, a romantic bolthole with a warming wood burner for cosy nights spend indoors. You’ll certainly deserve a night of relaxation after expeditions in the surrounding National Park. Step out on foot or on two wheels to appreciate the majestic landscapes and mountains of this Welsh beauty spot.

 

Thoughtfully decorated with a contemporary style and rustic interiors, this cottage will welcome you from the moment you arrive. The lounge/kitchen/diner is flooded with light thanks to the French doors. Throw them open to enjoy a breath of fresh air and appreciate easy access to the terrace. The kitchen has been designed to optimise the use of this small space and the pull-out dining table will really come in handy at mealtimes. You’ll notice an absence of a TV in this room, very much inviting you to simply sit in one another’s company or get lost in a good book. And, when it’s time for bed, a stunning double bed made from reclaimed wood awaits you.

 

Head out on an adventure to make the most of this wonderful location. The property is set on the lower slope of Sugar Loaf Mountain and the Waun Fach just 3 miles, excellent for keen mountaineers. Those hoping to pump some adrenaline will enjoy a day at the Dirt Farm Cycle Centre (4 miles) or trying out water sports on Llangorse Lake (15.5 miles), whilst a relaxing walk along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal (7 miles) offers a more relaxing day out.
