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.

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.

We had a great stay in the cottage. All equipment was available in the kitchen and great view from the bedroom and dinertable. The neighborhood is great for beautiful walks. And don’t forget to visit the local pub

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!
