  • Elegant country cottage in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, perfect for hikers and cyclists
  • Relax in the gorgeous bedroom with its own balcony overlooking the lush gardens
  • Delightful garden with established shrubs and meadow areas that envelops the house
Property code: OC-BN157

The charming cottage, on the northern fringe of the Brecon Beacons National Park, sleeps two guests, making it ideal for couples seeking a quiet base in idyllic surroundings. A pretty garden wraps around the property, providing opportunities for al fresco dining. The bedroom has a balcony overlooking the garden – the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee. Several walking routes branch away from the cottage, and you’ll also be within easy reach of the beautiful Llangorse Lake (3 miles), where you can take waterside strolls and admire the local wildlife.

A private drive leads through the owner’s grounds to the cottage. Once inside, discover a bright and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner decorated in a country-cottage style. On a summer’s day, throw open the French doors to the garden and let a gentle breeze flow through. After a romantic dinner for two at the rustic dining table, retire to the comfy sofa for a cwtch in front of the cosy wood burner. At the end of the day, climb the stairs to the fabulous bedroom, which is nestled in the eves. A mature garden envelops the property. It’s a real sun trap and there are two benches where you can sip a glass of wine and recharge your batteries.

The area is a haven for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts. Head to the stunning Talybont Reservoir (7 miles) for a picturesque circular walk linking up with the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal, or journey to Llangorse Lake to explore the local wildlife from a rowing boat or stand-up paddleboard. Pen y Fan - the highest mountain in Southern Britain – is also just 8.5 miles from the property. The market town of Abergavenny is 17 miles away and is known for its fantastic range of eateries and has a popular food festival each year.

Tis is a lovely cottage in a secluded area, but fairly close to local shops, etc. I had a week of peace with lots birdsong, the occaaional car and some passing planes. This was ideal for relaxing away from the stress of modern life. The owners are very pleasant, which makes it a great getaway destination.

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location and very peaceful so if you are looking for a complete chill out or an excellent base to explore the Brecon Beacons you can't go wrong. Spotlessly clean, fully equipped and if you don't want to cook on an evening there are a couple of pubs not too far away serving great food. We didn't want to leave! HostRead mores are lovely and friendly and happy help. We will definitely be back Hide

The cottage was beautiful and in a superb location for us to go exploring the Brecon Beacons. The owners were really helpful with suggestions of where to eat, dog friendly places and were on hand just in case we needed anything, which we didn't as the cottage had everything we could possibly want. We will definitely return to stay at Finch cottage Read moreagain. Hide
