A lovely hideaway in a tranquil setting, this detached stone cottage is perfect for couples or a small family. Set in peaceful Llandefalle, 8.5 miles from Brecon and 10.5 miles from Hay-on-Wye, it sleeps four guests across two bedrooms and welcomes dogs too. The enticing retreat is just 5 miles from the fringes of Bannau Brycheiniog, also known as the Brecon Beacons, with its plethora of footpaths and trails to follow. Eager climbers can also make the most of being close to the beautiful Black Mountains. Venture 7.5 miles to Llangorse Lake to try kayaking, canoeing or paddleboarding.

Venture just 3 miles from the cottage to Llyswen, also on the River Wye, to brave the waters with a wild swim. You can walk from the door onto the open common land with mown pathways to explore and far-reaching views across to Pen Y Fan.
