About this property

Finest Retreats | Brecon View Cottage

Brecon View Cottage is a three-bedroom, end of terrace cottage with incredible garden views. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Llanelly Hill, on summer evenings guests can sit on the wooden decking and enjoy the sweeping views out across the famous Brecon Beacons. In the autumn and winter months, after a long walk across the many footpaths in the area, guests can hunker down inside the cosy living room and enjoy the characterful log burner.

Walking through the front door, the hallway leads off to the well-stocked kitchen, the dining room which comfortably seats 6 people, a handy downstairs WC and the main living room. The kitchen comes with all the amenities for a self-catered stay including a washing machine.

Upstairs can be found the three, good-sized double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The tastefully decorated master bedroom comes with some stunning views out across the hills and has the benefit of its own en-suite shower and toilet.

The area is ideal for walkers and mountain bikers - there are numerous circular walks to be enjoyed from the cottage with differing degrees of difficulty. The beautiful Black Mountains are the backdrop to the area which is in the south east corner of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

The annual Abergavenny Food Festival is held every year in September and the nearby town is mecca for foodies. There are plenty of great gastro pubs, old inns and restaurants to be found in the surrounding countryside too. The area has plenty of history and heritage and during days out guests can explore castles, medieval mansions, Roman remains and standing stones.

There are several notable eateries within a few miles, including two Michelin starred restaurants - The Walnut Tree which is only 10 miles away and The Crown at Whitebrook slightly further afield. Brecon View Cottage is also within easy reach of the Bell at Skenfrith, which was voted Michelin pub of the year in 2007 and recipient of 2 AA rosettes.

Brecon View Cottage is pet-friendly, with up to two well-behaved pets welcome and there is plenty of private, off-road parking in front of the house. The garden is enclosed making it an ideal base for those with pets and/or small children. All linen and towels are included and there is also Wi-Fi throughout.

Fabulous surroundings if you love nature. Dog walking is great in the area!
The location is exceptional - views are amazing! Hard to keep warm. No logs for the fire when we arrived and it would have been a nice touch to just have for the first night.

Pet friendly family cottage
Very much enjoyed our stay despite the weather being so wet. Sadly couldn't make the fire work luckily the heating was good which aided drying wet clothes. Indoor drying rack would be a nice idea. Excellent parking a friendly neighbours. The three bedrooms were all comfortable with good storage. Having two bathrooms and three toilets for a group of five was a nice. For the girls they would like to have a long mirror. It would be useful to have instructions on what to do with the recycling and rubbish. More bin bags would be useful. Overall a pleasant stay, anyone thinking of staying here the Big Pit museum is a great visit.

Nice Easter Break in the Brecon Beacons
Lovely views over the mountains, including Sugar Loaf. Well appointed cottage with a cosy living area. Good size dining room . Heating and hot water were very efficient. Enough parking. Quiet location with cows in the next field. Garden was steep and would be treacherous for children or anyone with mobility issues. Lack of dishwasher was annoying. Toilet in the en-suite could only be used for weeing and the macerator made a lot of noise. Stairs were very steep and narrow.

Adequate but strange bathroom arrangements
You have to go through en suite which has no lock on door to get to bedroom. En suite toilet is restricted to wee so not practical if you are not a single family.
