Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Presteigne, Powys

Cosy and romantic, this charming period cottage offers a magical couples' hideaway in the heart of Presteigne. Set on a pretty courtyard just off the High Street, this delightful property is next to the owner's home yet enjoys its own privacy. Nestled on the border between Wales and England and surrounded by stunning countryside, this thriving town makes a great base for exploring the Brecon Beacons, Shropshire Hills and the book lover's paradise, Hay-on-Wye.

Lovingly refurbished in 2017, this dog-friendly cottage combines vintage charm with contemporary comforts and a fresh, open-plan layout. Stylish and filled with natural light and homely touches, the lounge/kitchen/diner invites relaxing evenings at home. Rustle up meals for two in the sophisticated modern kitchen, then perch at the breakfast bar with your morning coffee or savour a romantic dinner at the dining table overlooking the courtyard.

Then snuggle on the sofa to catch up with your favourite TV series, wood burner roaring on chilly days. As dusk falls, head upstairs to enjoy a soak in the freestanding bathtub, before getting comfy under the covers of your king-size bed. After a refreshing morning shower and coffee in the courtyard, you'll be ready for fresh adventures.

Wander out from your cottage to explore the Judge's Lodgings and browse a selection of independent shops and eateries, or hop in your car to discover the National Trust properties, Croft Castle and Berrington Hall (both within 16 miles). World-renowned as a book town, Hay-on-Wye offers a treasure trove of secondhand bookshops, and acts as a gateway to the Brecon Beacons National Park.
