Overview
Property code: BN316

Wonderful lodge on the slopes of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, boasting instantly welcoming decor, endless walks from its doorstep and plenty of welcoming country pubs nearby.

Just 2 miles from the popular town of Crickhowell in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this property is perfectly located for exploring the best of rural Wales. Take a trip to the nearby town or plan to visit during their ever-popular music festival, Green Man (3.5 miles). Set off from the cottage’s doorstep to explore the Black Mountain range (12 miles) and the Sugar Loaf Mountain (0.5 miles) or travel a little further afield to summit the impressive Pen y Fan (19.5 miles). Wander just 300 metres down a country road to find a welcoming country pub or set off and visit a Michelin Star inn 8 miles away in Llanddewi Skirrid.

 

This Scandinavian-style property is accessed from the garden and through the French doors, and boasts simplistic yet welcoming decor with sloping ceilings, all set out on one level next door to the owner’s property. Step inside into the comfortable lounge and make a beeline for the well-equipped galley kitchen, where the electric oven, grill and induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher offer all you need to feed the family. Fire up the coffee machine early on a morning and enjoy a freshly brewed mug outside on the lawn. Head through an archway and into the open-plan lounge and dining room, an ideal space for eating and unwinding. Comfy sofas sit beside a TV/DVD for relaxing evenings. Two inviting bedrooms offer a spot to rest up for the day ahead, with comfy beds and an abundance of storage space available for you to use. Completing the property is a contemporary shower room with WC.

 

Exit via French doors in the lounge and soak up the generous outdoor space. A handy decked area with dining set provides the perfect spot to dine alfresco, whilst the surrounding gardens ensure a wonderful area to soak up some sun after a session in the sauna.
