Romantic rural hideaway

Sitting at the end of a traditional Welsh longhouse, “y beudy” (the cow byre) is a country lover's delight. The sitting room/kitchen is full of character and charm while the cosy bedroom upstairs nestles under the roof with exposed beams, accessed through the garden room. The tastefully refurbished toilet and shower room is conveniently situated on the ground floor through from the living room. Guests can also relax in the garden room with it's log burning stove.
Up to two extra guests can also be accommodated on the futon in the sitting room for an additional £14 per guest per night.
A welcome basket will always contain coffee, tea, sugar & milk, plus seasonal items if available such as homemade jam, our own apple juice, eggs from our girls or homemade bread. We also provide the store cupboard basics eg. salt & pepper, cooking oil, red & brown sauces, washing up liquid.
Although not with exclusive use, guests are welcome to sit in the garden. We are a smallholding so expect to see hens pecking about, Lucy the horse looking over the wall, the dogs of course, or pigs and sheep in the fields next door.
Our bottom gate leads out onto rugged hillside, where you can walk for miles.
We sit above the beautiful river Wye, and canoeing is available from the world famous Hay-on-Wye (11 miles away). Horse riding can also be booked (8 miles away).
The Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains, Elan Valley and Cambrian Mountains are all within easy reach.
Or perhaps enjoy a visit to nearby Builth Wells or Brecon for lunch or a browse around the shops.
Note: please read all information regarding pets.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. A kitchenette is outfitted with a microwave. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a sofa bed.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings
Beautifully converted former cow byre with every facility for a comfortable stay in an attractive, peaceful hill location far from the bustle of city life. Jackie and Paul were charming hosts who provided us with a much appreciated welcome tray which included tasty eggs from their hens and delicious home-made gooseberry jam. The bed was extremely comfortable and the large shower room was very well appointed. A bonus was the daily greeting from Snoopy and Bella, the dogs.

We had a lovely time
This place is in the middle of nowhere but we love it that way. We spoke to the owner on several occasions, she told us where we can take the dog for a walk, pointed us the right direction. The properly was clean and cosy and there were tea cakes and local eggs left for us in the kitchen, also milk in the fridge on arrival. Fabulous property, highly recommend it.

Wonderful 3 days
We had a lovely stay at Jackie and Paul's cottage. They were very welcoming and warm. We had complimentary free range eggs and biscuits, milk, tea and coffee available. The kitchen was fully equipped, we made full use of it. The bed was comfortable and my daughter loved the attic room. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Reading in lovely cottage and walking in beautiful countryside, what else do you need!
We had a lovely bank holiday weekend at the cottage. The walk out over the hills behind the cottage were a highlight. The garden room is so light and comfortable, sat reading a book, listening to the birds. Great for a quiet, away from it all weekend. Jackie was really helpful and welcoming.

Short birthday break.
Lovely rustic cottage in a stunning location. Warm welcome from the friendly owners who kept us well stocked in logs and even had the wood burner lit for our arrival. The cottage is very cosy, super comfy bed, however the sofa in the lounge needed extra cusions as it isa little hard. We managed to improve it by using the cusions from the conservatory sofa. All in all a very pleasant few days and would recommend.

Wonderful stay
This lovely cottage was in peaceful surroundings. Very comfortable and cosy with chickens and three friendly dogs having the freedom that they should. Off from the A470 the sheep roamed wherever they wished, sometimes had to get out and cajole them along as they were perfectly happy! If you want peace and quiet in a spotlessly clean comfortable cottage. This is it. Thank you Jackie for the lovely fresh eggs, which were delicious and also for a perfect stay.

Comfortable rural retreat
Cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Hosts are lovely people, on site and welcoming but not intrusive. Cottage reached via long narrow road well away from the main road - so amazingly quiet and beautiful countryside. If you want peace and quiet - this is the place. Loved it.
