About this property

Pretty Stone Cottage: Hot Tub, Real Fire, Wifi & Riverside Views

Come and spend some time in beautiful mid Wales! Mill House is a characterful 200 year old stone cottage with exposed original beams and a real fire in an inglenook hearth, situated in a beautiful riverside location on the edge of the Brecon National Park in mid/south Wales. It's an ideal base for walking, fishing, birdwatching, golf, cycling, boating, canoeing and canal adventures, or you can just relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery ! Watch red kites swoop overhead, or salmon leap in the river in autumn!

New cedar hot tub installed in May 2017 for exclusive use by guests!

The cottage is private and is set in a quiet rural location. A beautiful romantic retreat or a great base for family fun! Mill House has a living room with a real fire, sumptuous comfy sofas and a large 'smart' TV (for Netflix, Amazon Prime etc); fibreoptic wifi; a well-equipped kitchen with oven and hob, microwave, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer; and a spacious dining room. The dining room opens onto a balcony and patio areas - both overlooking the pretty river. Ideal for relaxing with a drink and a good book! Upstairs, there is the main tiled bathroom with toilet, vanity unit and deep bath; a comfy double bedroom; and two single bedrooms - one has an en suite equipped with toilet, washbasin and power shower.

The cottage is 5 miles north of Brecon, with two supermarkets, a cinema, theatre, leisure centre, visitors' centre, quaint individual shops, and a wide selection of cafes and restaurants serving locally-sourced food and drink. There are two golf courses within a few miles of the cottage, and the beautiful book town of Hay-on-Wye is only a short drive away (15 miles). It is a stunning area for walkers with waterfalls, woodland, and open moorland to explore. Come and enjoy your very own rural retreat !

A lovely break from the hustle and bustle of life. Beautiful location and cottage was so cosy and inviting. Perfect for long walks with the dogs. Hit tub is a very bonus for relaxing after all the walking! 5 stars and would love to return

Love the hot tub!
A perfect cottage for a week in the Brecon Beacons. Well appointed, clean and a very pretty conversion. The hot tub was definitely the star of the show to ease muscles after a long day walking. Only negative is the fact its not to easy to park in front of the cottage as the flagstones on the lip of the drive were loose, but this is super minor in the context of a well appointed and furnished property

What a great place
We spent the week at the Mill cottage and could have stayed much longer. Such a great location, and the well equipped cottage made for a very enjoyable stay. We had a longer car, about 4.9 m, and we could just squeeze it in, but there is additional parking down the road if that is an issue. Check in was a breeze and a friendly neighbor came over during our stay to service the hot tub (which we did not use) Short 10 minute drive into Brecon on the partially one lane roads add to the charm . Ideally suited to enjoy you all that the area has to offer. No cell service, but great Wi-Fi and a smart TV so you can stream programs, besides the FreeviewTV Fantastic place!

Relaxation at its best
This was such a lovely well needed break. The cottage is quaint with everything you may need. My particular favourite thing is the hot tub, which is just the ticket after a long day of walking around the beautiful Welsh countryside. Will definitely be returning !!!
