Pencelli Cottage | "Home from Home" in the Bannau Brycheiniog with stunning views of the Usk Valley

2 Bedroom Cottage in Pencelli

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.

Summary: Ideal setting surrounded by wonderful views of the mountains with nature on your doorstep. Beautiful walks locally, especially the canal walk from your front door. Holly cottage has all you’ll need for either an active walking and sightseeing holiday or somewhere peaceful to relax, take in your surroundings and enjoy a very special part of the Brecon Beacons. Highly recommended.
