Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Cilycwm, Wales

A characterful traditional stone cottage with beautiful panoramic views across rolling farmland to the peaks of the Brecon Beacons is ideal for couples, friends and families looking for a relaxing holiday in the Brecon Beacons. The property welcomes dogs, and from the doorstep, you can enjoy miles of wild, open country that is lovely for walking, mountain biking, and pony trekking. The Cwm Rhaeadr Forest in the peaceful Tywi Valley is only 3 miles away, perfect for picnics and with a waterfall walk to enjoy.

Step into this beautiful property, set over two levels and retaining many original features, including wooden beams and slanted ceilings, which add to the property's countryside charm. Relax in the attractive lounge/diner, curling up on the cosy sofas, chatting about the day's adventure or watching a movie together on the TV. The contemporary kitchen has all the necessary appliances to make meal preparation a breeze, and you can linger over meals at the wooden dining table.

There is a bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll find two welcoming bedrooms: one sunny double and one twin. Step outside and enjoy the spectacular scenery on the south-facing patio, a wonderful sun trap during summer months, making this the perfect spot to savour a delicious breakfast or dinner alfresco in fine weather.
