Crickhowell, with its bustling high street running down to the idyllic River Usk, is a great base for outdoor enthusiasts, with fantastic cycling and walking in the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons. Cross the historic bridge over to the neighbouring village of Llangattock and you'll find the Brecon and Monmouth Canal, with the recently restored towpath great with a bike or for a relaxing amble. Tackle the heights of The Sugar Loaf, The Blorenge, Table Mountain and over to Llangattock Mountain before returning to quench your thirst in one of the many watering holes. Try a spot of fishing on the River Usk, or there is pony trekking and caving nearby too. Sample the menus of the many excellent gastropubs and restaurants and potter between the attractive locally owned shops.

Compact yet equipped with all you could need, this cosy cottage is a welcoming home-from-home after a day exploring the Welsh countryside. The kitchen is well-equipped with gas cooker, microwave, washing machine and fridge. In the living room with a coal effect gas stove, the two-seater sofas are ideal for snuggling down to watch a film after a day in the elements and the recliner chair with footstool is the perfect place to relax with a good book. In this room you will also find a dining table and chairs. A wide selection of maps, guidebooks, information leaflets and books are available for use during your stay. The cottage is very adaptable and is warm and welcoming whatever your party make-up. Upstairs there is one double bedroom and a further second bedroom with a single trundle bed that becomes a twin if needed for an additional guest. A bathroom with a bath and a shower over it, is also located upstairs.

Outside there is an enclosed stone-paved yard, perfect for catching those early morning rays, and secure storage for bikes. The property has private parking for one car. There are shops, pubs and restaurants within walking distance.

The cottage is very near the centre of Crickhowell, which is blessed with plenty of great restaurants. The cottage has off road parking and is centrally located for lots of interesting places to visit and fantastic walks. The cottage suffered from traffic noise but wasnt too bad after early evening. Whilst we dined out the kitchen had everything neRead moreeded to home cook. The cottage is a little outdated and probably needs a bit of TLC, that said we enjoyed our stay in Crickhowell and will return. Hide
