Overview
Property code: BN223

With its nearest neighbours almost 1 mile away, this peaceful cottage provides larger or extended families with the perfect secluded getaway in the Brecon Beacons.

This remote property is the perfect place to switch off and forget the stresses of everyday life. With exceptional panoramic views across the Black Mountains and the opportunity for unrivalled stargazing and wildlife-watching, it’s impossible not to feel connected with nature whilst staying in this beautiful accommodation for six guests. Stride out from your front door to explore the surrounding landscape or hop in the car and head to the picturesque market town of Llandeilo, 8 miles away.

An ancient drover’s road leads to this magnificent 17th-century Welsh longhouse. It retains much of its original charm, and once inside you’ll discover ancient beams, flagstone floors and an original bread oven. Rustle up a tasty meal in the gorgeous farmhouse kitchen, which can be enjoyed together in the elegant dining room. The cosy lounge features a warming wood burner and comfy sofas, where you can unwind after a busy day. Down a few steps from the kitchen, there’s another little nook, with armchairs in front of the bread oven, where you can curl up with a book. French doors lead from the lounge to a patio with garden furniture, where you can dine alfresco. Expansive grounds stretch away from the property, providing ample space for children and dogs.

If you can tear yourself away from this stunning property and its wonderful surroundings, you’ll find plenty to see and do in this tucked-away part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. While away an afternoon looking for hidden gems in the quaint market town of Llandeilo. Its colourful houses and narrow streets make it a photographer’s dream and those with a penchant for collectables will be in their element perusing the many independent boutiques and arts and crafts stores. Alternatively, head north to Llandovery (10.5 miles) to investigate the 12th-century castle and explore walking routes into the Cambrian Mountains.

We loved everything about this rural getaway. The location is stunning (as long as you don't mind the bumpy ride to get there), the house is beautiful, with everything you need, and it was truly a wonderful break for us.

We loved our stay. The weather wasnt good to us but the log fire kept us warm and toasty. We went with our Honda CRV and VW Up and both cars were fine on the track, we just had to go slow in the Up.

Large house, beautifully located. It feels very precious to be able to spend some time here. Lots of space for (young) children to be outdoors. The cottage is close to a stunnig drive into the hills. Please be aware that access with a 'low' vehicle is difficult. Ordnance survey walks in the vicinity are overgrown.

Characterful, comfortable cottage with panoramic views. This is an isolated place where you can really get away from it all and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Welsh countryside.
