Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Sennybridge (3Mls E), Powys

Enjoying a peaceful location at the head of a private country estate within the heart of the Brecon Beacons, this grotto-style lodge is the ultimate romantic retreat for couples looking for an escape to the country. Find pure peace and tranquillity exploring the banks of the River Usk with your loved one and four-pawed third wheel. Take a seat on the traditional storm porch to kick off walking boots before following the warmth of the wood burner into the lounge to cuddle up on the comfy sofa in front of the Smart TV.

Lose yourself in wonderful views of the garden as you rustle up a romantic feast in the sleek and stylish kitchen/diner. End a busy day with a soak in the bath in the bathroom before retiring to the king-size bedroom, dressed for the occasion in crisp white linens that ensure a peaceful slumber. Make the most of your fabulous surroundings by dining alfresco in the enclosed garden that features a well-stocked herb patch or by enjoying a romantic stroll around the grounds to discover a tennis court, wild meadow walk and a stretch of the River Usk where you can try wild swimming and fly fishing.

This tranquil location in the Brecon Beacons National Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with a plethora of waymarked paths from the doorstep carving their way through some stunning countryside and mountain ranges. Head to the historic market town of Brecon (7 miles), famous for its iconic cathedral, to explore its maze of narrow streets and passageways lined with Georgian and Jacobean shop fronts. Hire a rowing boat, kayak or pedalo at Llangorse Lake (13 miles), the largest natural lake in South Wales, or explore the world beneath your feet at the National Showcaves Centre 13 miles away.
