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.

We all loved the cottage. Super comfy beds with cosy throws.Perfect for a family of 4.For family activities and meal times, Curry & Fajita nights.Making cocktails.Childrens games.'Four in a Row'. 'Junior Monopoly'.We were juggling trips and exceptionally hot weather in the Brecon so initially we had short trips and then longer afternoons in the cottage.We had read the informative description of the back garden and decided not to use it. The girls very much enjoyed sitting on the wooden bench outside the front door where it was very peaceful,watching chickens and feeding birds.Johnathan had very kindly preset the hot water to come on at 4.30am at my request as my days always start early.The bathroom was sparkly clean and the beds were lovely and inviting. Our arrival was met with a delicious bottle of red wine and a bag of ice was thoughtfully placed in the freezer.The fridge freezer was a great size.I did a full weeks shop and was able to store accordingly including 4 packed lunches, several children's drinks. Numerous ice-creams and iceblocks.The living room was next level georgous with everything that you could need.Parking is available and requires a certain level of driver skill and manoeuvrability to access successfully especially if you don't have a four wheel drive vehicle. We have a Nissan X trail and skillful Grandpa!The surrounding area is beautiful with a trail leading from the cottage,through fields to the canal walk and The Royal Oak Pub.

We absolutely loved Holly Cottage! It was clean and had everything we needed. The views were lovely! And we enjoyed our next door neighbors- chickens, sheep and cows (we are veterinarians- but if you are not an animal lover, you will still love it here!). Jonathan was an excellent communicator! We definitely would come back!!

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location! Perhaps a little quiet for our very busy 7 year old, but overall a nice break away!

Wonderful 4 day stay for a hike up Pen y Fan.The cottage is well equipped and the fire place is the highlight. Jonathan was very kind to suggest us things to do and very helpful.
