Overview
Property code: 76431

A spacious cottage set on the edge of the Brecon Beacons and close to the popular towns of Crickhowell and Abergavenny. Nearby to a sweet country pub, making this a great retreat any time of year.

Run to the hills and escape to this glorious retreat perched on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Explore local villages and their cosy pubs, head out for spectacular walks with your dog and make a splash with a spot of water sports in nearby winding rivers. When you are all adventured out, settle down at home and lap up the inviting atmosphere as you set the wood burner roaring and curl up in style.

 

When the day’s exciting explorations come to an end, throw off your shoes, coats and leads in the boot room before heading through to the hub of the home. With plenty of space for a lively evening fuelled by a cold tipple or a feast rustled up by all hands on deck, the open-plan kitchen/diner is a bright space complete with breakfast bar where you can enjoy a moment of peace and quiet with a warming brew. Throw open the stable door and let the summer breeze flow inside or put your feet up in the sunroom. If a chill fills the air, step down into the cosy lounge and fire up the wood burner as you delve deep into a good book and switch off. Climb stairs to find the two brilliantly spacious bedrooms on the first floor. Unpack your belongings and make yourself at home in sumptuous bedding as you drift off and dream. Rise and shine, and head outside for a breath of fresh air by the stream.

 

Pack up a tasty picnic and step out into the wonderful national park for an abundance of adventures, including stick chasing for your four-legged family members. Travel 25 miles into the park and summit Pen-Y-Fan, the highest point in South Wales sitting at 886m above sea level. Abergavenny, known as the Gateway to Wales and home to the Food festival in September, is 4.5 miles from home and a great place to enjoy delicious food in Michelin Guide restaurants or dog friendly eateries, fishing and golfing amongst plenty more.

Great location. Plenty of mountains to climb and not over walked. Only saw 2 people on a 4 hr walk on Thursday. Choice of walk types and even a walk to the pub across the meadow and along the river. Two really lovely towns with plenty of food choices. Great Flea Market in Abergavenny on Wednesday's. Loved the area. Cottage had everything we needed.

Lovely, homely house. Felt right from moment we arrived. Owners on hand if required, but were not needed. Garden secure for dogs, the small stream that runs through garden was not too deep and had an escape ramp should dogs go in. Clean, comfortable and plenty of space. 4 people and 2 large dogs had more than enough room. Property has a fixed stairRead more gate to segregate upstairs, no need to take one. On a busy road but noise did not disturb at any time. Already looking forward to going again. Hide

The property was a lovely, cosy family home. It was perfect for myself, partner, 10 year old daughter and our two dogs. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The road itself is quite a busy one, but you don't notice once you're inside. I can highly recommend a stay here for a relaxing holiday!
