A magical spot for a solo or couple’s holiday within the Brecon Beacons National Park, this sweet abode is wonderful for an outdoorsy trip of walking, mountain biking or pony trekking. It’s in a convenient location in the charming town of Brecon, with shops, cafes and pubs within a 300-metre radius. This homely one-bedroom property accommodates up to two humans, with one dog also welcome to join you.

This sweet terraced property has a cosy and welcoming lounge with wooden ceiling beams and clean white walls decorated with tasteful artwork. After long days out in the mynydd (mountains), you’ll appreciate sinking into the inviting sofa and, if it’s chilly, sparking up the wood burner for a quiet evening in. Books are available for pre-bed reading, while maps are provided so you can plan the day’s adventures. In the room kitchen, cook up a full English to enjoy at the dining table on lazy mornings. The lawned garden is fantastic for relaxing with your loved one and provides a safe area for your four-legged friend to roam. Prepare summer feasts on the BBQ and sip morning coffee as you appreciate your tranquil surroundings.

Within walking distance, admire Brecon’s Georgian architecture, wander along the tow path and visit local sites like the Royal Welsh Regimental Museum and Brecon’s medieval cathedral (within 0.5 miles). To view the fantastic nearby scenery from a seated position, board a scenic canal cruise along the River Usk for a relaxed day on the water. You’ll have hiking opportunities aplenty nearby, such as the popular route up Pen y Fan (5.5 miles).

This was a beautiful cottage, decorated and furnished to a very high standard and attention to detail was excellent. There was plenty of storage, hooks and plug sockets just where you needed them. The log burner was a lovely addition and made the cottage very cosy when it was lit. The proximity to the town centre was perfect and we could easily walRead morek to all the amenities. Parking was not a problem, we found a space every day. A great location for exploring the beautiful Brecon Beacons. Hide

This is an absolutely perfect place to stay. Clean and tidy with everything you need and nothing you dont! Just the right amount if everything. Beautifully decorated. Really comfy bed and plenty of hot water. The garden got a bit hot in the late afternoon which is not often a complaint one would hear in Wales in May! Loved it!
