Beautifully set on the bank of the River Tawe, this spacious stone cottage is perfect for a relaxing family getaway in South Wales. Located near the pretty town of Ystradgynlais, this is the ideal base for those looking to explore the southern Brecon Beacons, with miles of stunning landscapes to traverse on foot or by bike. The vibrant city of Swansea is just 15 miles away for those who want to try out some great eateries and do a spot of shopping, and the coast is only slightly further away.
Enter into this delightful holiday cottage, which has been renovated with great attention to detail. Prepare delicious family meals in the spacious kitchen with lovely country-living accents such as a Belfast sink. Start the morning with a cup of coffee in the adjacent sunroom. A handy utility room provides additional space to take care of laundry and house muddy boots. Enjoy dining at the farmhouse table, before heading through to the living room where you can unwind after a day in the countryside with a film on the TV or a family board game as the wood burner keeps you cosy. Upstairs you’ll find four lovingly decorated bedrooms, some enjoying tranquil views of the river, with a family bathroom to complete the accommodation. Outside, admire the rushing unenclosed river from the garden bench on the lawn.
There are plenty of lovely walks from your doorstep, such as up the road to the Diamond Park, or to the Wen Plemys Nature Reserve. Travel into the Brecon Beacons for more challenging picturesque walks, such as in Waterfall Country, with waterfalls, gorges and caves dotted along the River Hepste. Take the day out to visit Swansea and relax on the golden sands along Swansea Bay.
