  • Far-reaching views across the Black Mountains from three first-floor bedrooms
Overview
Property code: BN305

Situated in the picturesque village of Llangynidr, this delightful cottage is ideally suited for exploring the surrounding Brecon Beacons National Park. Wander into the centre of Llangynidr (500 metres) to soak up traditional village life, popping into the welcoming pub or enjoying walks along the River Usk. Fishing can be enjoyed on this bustling river (1 mile), with salmon and brown trout ready to be taken home as catch of the day. Set off from your doorstep to enjoy glorious hikes and mountain bike trails, exploring the Black Mountain range (9 miles) or the Brecon’s tallest mountain of Pen y Fan (14 miles). Music lovers will appreciate the annual Green Man Festival, well accessible at just 3 miles away.

 

This traditional cottage has retained a lot of its original charm, with exposed stone walls and sturdy oak beams complemented by a classic countryside decor. Step inside and make yourselves at home in the cosy lounge, where comfy sofas and armchairs sit before a welcoming open fire. Enjoy the smart TV or pick one of the many games to enjoy together. Continue into the bright and cheery galley kitchen for meals and dining, making use of the electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher when it comes to mealtimes. Finally, the ground floor boasts a cosy single bedroom with a low door and en-suite shower room with WC. Head up the cottage-style stairs to find three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with electric shower over bath and WC. Two double bedrooms and one single ( which doubles as a study) can be found on various levels on the first floor, with the odd step up and down between them. One double has a TV for lazy mornings in bed, and all three rooms boast far-reaching countryside views.

 

This property boasts two beautiful outdoor areas to enjoy in the warmer weather. To the front, you’ll find an enclosed garden set to lawn, with flowerbeds and a spot to enjoy morning coffee. To the rear of the property, you’ll find a handy terrace with dining set and BBQ. A delightful stream flows adjacent to the cottage and stone steps at the rear lead to a rocky gorge and pool.

We had a lovely long weekend in Rock Cottage in May 2024. The cottage itself is extremely homely, very well equipped (with maps, books and board games), and with lovely front and back gardens.

The ownerRead mores are super helpful, with lots of tips and suggestions. They even posted back a forgotten cuddly toy! Highly recommended all round Hide

The cottage was ideal for our family of 6 adults and 3 dogs. Well equipped and comfortable, set in a lovely location with plenty to do locally for walking. We visited Tretower Court and Castle, Big Pit, Nantyderry Garden centre, Goytre to name a few. The only issue we had was parking our camper van. The lane in places is narrow and a tight squeeze Read morebut passable with care, alternately you can park on the road. If you want a cottage experience we would recommend. Hide

Great location for walking the Brecon way, the Talybont reservoir and accessing Crickhowell with its boutiques and pubs. We had fantastic warm welcomes from the staff and locals in the White Hart in Talybont and the Red Lion in Llangynidr which lifted our spirits from the Welsh weather.

The kitchen in Rock Cottage is well equipped and there is a huge number of books to choose from plus games and puzzles for all ages.

A lovely cosy cottage, very well equipped with a garden back and front and the bonus of the soothing sound of a stream rushing by the side of the house.

Cosy cottage with great walks straight out of the door. The location of Rock Corttage is ideal. You have great walks on Llangynidr Mountain, Tor Y Foel, the canal and the Usk. You can just leave your car in the parking space all week and just walk from your door. If you do want to travel then Talybont Waterfalls are brilliant, as are Ystradfelte. IRead moret's only a short driver to the Sugar Loaf or Pen y Fan. The cottage itself is cozy and the owners are very helpful if there are any issues. Hide

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Owner was very helpful. Very narrow lane to the property to be aware of. Only downside was heating was not the best and we had to keep the open fire going as well to stay warm enough. Due to location the water pressure isnt great so dont expect a power shower.
