  • A charming half timbered Grade II listed 16C cottage with stunning views across the countryside
  • Within walking distance of the River Wye and market town of Hay on Wye
  • Enjoying a private location with immediate access onto the Offa’s Dyke footpath
Overview
Property code: OC-78078

This stunning 16th-century property is located in the peaceful hamlet of Bronydd on the Wales/England border. The idyllic setting makes it the perfect place to unwind, with beautiful countryside views and surrounded by charming cottage gardens. The Offa’s Dyke Path passes the property, and you can follow it across fields and along the riverbank to the quaint market town of Hay-on-Wye (approx. 2 miles), famed for its literary heritage. Explore the town’s fascinating bookstores before heading to The Warren for a spot of wild swimming in the river.

 

The Grade-II listed property is packed with original features, including limestone plastered walls, exposed beams, and flagstone floors. The interior cleverly combines rustic charm with luxurious touches to make your stay feel extra special, such as an induction hob and Aga in the kitchen and cosy underfloor heating in the lounge. At the end of the day, relax in the inviting lounge to watch a film on the SkyTV/DVD and warm your toes in front of the roaring wood burner. On a summer’s evening, potter around the established garden and wander down to the babbling brook, before dining on the terrace and admiring the views across the Wye Valley. Enjoy a restful soak in the original claw foot bath before bed.

 

The picturesque town of Hay-on-Wye is bursting with culture. Be sure to make time to explore the fantastic selection of independent shops and boutiques, including the 30 bookstores! To get a different perspective of the town, hire a canoe and enjoy a peaceful jaunt along the River Wye. On your travels, stop off at The Warren – the riverside pebble beach – for a little picnic and a dip in the river. If you’re a keen photographer, you must head to Llanthony Priory (14 miles). The atmospheric 13th-century ruins are simply breathtaking, particularly at dawn or dusk. It’s also a fantastic place for stargazing. Please note dogs will need to be supervised in the garden, are not allowed upstairs and not left unattended in the property at any time

Chapel Cottage is just outside Hay on Wye and is in the most peaceful setting while still being close to the town. The cottage was comfortable and clean and had lovely views over the valley from the garden. You start to relax once you walk through the door.

Chapel Cottage is the epitome of the idyllic Christmas experience. Warm, cosy, and beautifully decorated for the season. The well equipped kitchen is absolutely up to the mammoth task of cooking Christmas dinner - we made good use of both the conventional and Aga ovens. A very memorable holiday. Highly recommended.

The cottage was full of character, cosy, well presented and had everything you could want when self-catering. When we arrived the Christmas tree was lit and decs were out which was really welcoming. This property is perfect for anyone with a dog having an enclosed garden, plus boot/drying room. Hay-on-Wye is only a short drive away.

Absolutely beautiful place both inside and out with excellent views. Lovely owner who was really nice and helpful. Have not revisited anywhere in many years but this may be the exception. A true olde world cottage with a beautiful garden and views and a really homely interior finished in a traditional cottage style but with class.
