About this cottage rental
A beautiful barn conversion situated in a remote but accessible location with stunning views and unrivalled walking straight from the front door. Holly Cottage will comfortably sleep a family of four, and is ideal for couples looking to lose themselves in the wonderful scenery. Whether you want to take advantage of all the activities on offer in the Bannau Brycheiniog, or just cosy down in front of the fire with a good book, Holly Tree is the place for you. The Brecknockshire Camra pub of the year 2022 is 10 minutes walk across the fields, and it's a short drive to the bustling town of Brecon, or the activity hub of Talybont-on-Usk. Footpaths leading directly from the farmyard will take you up onto the hills, down to the Canal, or along the stunning Usk valley. Situated at the eastern end of the central beacons range, you are well away from the crowds that flock to Pen Y Fan but if you want to make the climb its a short drive to the main access points (and experienced walkers have reached it directly from the cottage...).
Start your day with a cooked breakfast beside the picture windows looking out over the Usk Valley, and plan your walk on the wall-map beside you. Picnic on the beacons, or plan the walk to finish at the Royal Oak in the village for lunch, then head back to the cottage to unwind. In the summer, garden furniture and a barbecue will allow you to make the most of the views from the back garden. If the weather isn't so good (and that does sometimes happen in the Bannau Brycheiniog....) light the log burner, and hunker down in the cosy stone walled living room, with Freesat TV, Netflix (account needed) or DVD's for entertainment.
1 Hr 10 mins drive to Cardiff and the coast.

Good value Type 2 electric car fast-charging is available at the village hall in nearby Talybont-on-Usk operated with tokens from the village store. Alternatively rapid chargers are available at Morrison's supermarket in Brecon.

A lovely spot in the Welsh countryside. Great views and nearby walks across the fields to the valley.
We did find the driveway a bit difficult in our hire car that did not have a lot of clearance, so once we had unloaded luggage we left the car down the driveway and walked in and out of the property.

A lovely little cottage that had everything you need. We stayed with our two young children. We would definitely stay again and would recommend it, but we have two areas that weren't perfect. Getting the boiler just right took a while. There wasnt enough hot water on our first night, so the kids ended up with a tepid bath and theln in trying to sort that out we set the boiler to come on early in the morning so we could have hot showers - the boiler is noisy and so woke us up very early. After the first night we got the balance sorted and it worked perfectly - perhaps worth speaking with the owner ahead of your trip to make sure everything is right for your first night. Our second issue was with access to the parking, its up a very steep slope off a narrow lane. We have a very long estate car, which made it difficult to access the parking (wheels were spinning on the concrete after rain). We did manage to get in each time, but it was tricky. I imagine with a shorter car it would have worked better, as the angles would be easier. Equally a 4x4 would easily do it. Despite those negatives it was a great place to stay and the communication i had with the owner was very friendly and helpful.

The pictures do not do this place justice. The location is amazing and the cottage is decorated exceptionally well with everything you could need with nice touches such as having books and games to entertain in between walks. One of the best places we have stayed!

Superb experience staying in cosy but well appointed cottage. Great location, with views across the valleys. Lovely walk directly from cottage.
Perfectly suited for families looking to relax or explore the Brecon Beacons for hikes and waterfalls. Highly recommend

A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country. It is really well equipped (not something you find in all holiday properties)A nice surprise to find some wine waiting for us on the kitchen table. There are some good walks from the front door. Jonathann was very helpfulwhen we had to contact him. Would thoroughly reccommend this cottage.

Beautiful spot
Beauiful spot with spectacular views. The cottage was very comfortable with all the amenities we required. A short walk up from the pub in the evenings was perfect for walking off the dinner at the local pub. Lovely walks right from the front door too.

Cosy stay in the Brecon Beacons
This is a cosy property on farmland in the Brecon Beacons with good access to the surrounding areas. We used it as a base for the Hay Festival and exploring other attractions. Pub in the village and plenty of walks. Property is clean with everything you need. Outdoor space being on a steep incline, however, not great for younger children.

Beautiful location with amazing views
Location is great, you have the most amazing views from the property and you can start hiking from the front door of the property. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, very well equipped with everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped as well, you really feel like you are at home. Nice big garden as well, my kids loved running up and down the garden and you have an even greater view from the back of the garden which sits above the roofline of the property. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is the heating. This is a subjective comment as we live in a very modern and well insulated house so the cottage was very different for us. The bedrooms were always warm but there was a horrible noise when the heating was on from the water tank that is just behind your head when you're in bed in the main bedroom so we didn't need to put alarms on as the noise woke us up every morning. Downstairs none of the radiators worked as there was more air in them than water but electric radiators were provided. Still downstairs felt too cold for us so we didn't spent much time there. The floor in the kitchen was especially cold so I would bring some very warm slippers or socks to wear. Please don't let that deter you from booking this property, it is totally worth it and the owners have put a lot of thought into making guests feel comfortable. The kids absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back there. They especially loved having some DVD's to watch, all the board games provided, the comfortable beds, the view out the window and especially all the sheep and lambs that graze all around the property. There is WiFi with about 20mbs download speed which is amazing considering you're up a mountain on a farm. There is also a fireplace and there were logs there to use if you chose to (with an honesty box to pay for the wood) but we didn't make use of it as we had no idea how to do it safely.

A brilliantly-located, peaceful, and well-equipped cottage. Equally good for long days walking in the hills or for activities to do with young children.

We had a wonderful time at this property, all our needs were catered for. The views are fantastic and the children loved watching the sheep as the farmer moved them from field to field. We would highly recommend this rental.

Holy cottage is located at a farm, surrounded by beautiful countryside, overlooking rolling hills with sheep, lots of sheep, and behind the cottage a hill with woodland. You just need to walk a few meters to join a walking trail, or walk for 15 minutes to the nearest pub. Brecon, the nearest town, is only 15 minute drive, with a couple of big supermarkets.
The cottage has everything you need, with a well-equipped kitchen, strong wi-fi, and most importantly impressive views from the main bedroom and dining room

Peaceful and relaxing and lots of walking
We had 11 nights in the beautiful Brecon beacons in Holly cottage and couldn't fault it we did lots of walking from the door and managed to find waterfalls to cool off in in the sweltering heat.
The cottage is in a lovely part of the Brecon beacons 500m pleasant stroll from the canal and village of Pencelli.
The cottage was lovely and cool to return to after a days walking in the mountains in 30c heat and it had everything you needed for self-catering and the added bonus of a canal side pub 500m away menu there was limited but the fact that your literally on the canal made up for that.
The directions given for check in and communication where all perfect.
Thank you for a lovely holiday.
