About this cottage:

• With spectacular views of the Black Mountain and Mynydd Myddfai and set at the end of a long, curving drive, this renovated former farmhouse is a comfortable and warm home for holidays.
• Watch Red Kites wheel above the surrounding rolling countryside grazed by sheep as you enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the spacious farmhouse kitchen.
• A footpath by the side of the garden will lead you down to Myddfai (3/4m) or to Llandovery (3m).
• This is perfect base from which to enjoy the wide variety of outdoor activities the Brecon Beacons has to offer - walking (the Black Mountain has one of the finest ridge walks in the country), rock climbing, cycling, pony trekking, fishing, golf, bird watching, gliding and many more.
• Last minute short breaks possible. Please phone for availability and price.

• Myddfai is famous in Welsh folklore for the Physicians of Myddfai and for the legend of 'The Lady of the Lake'.
• Visit Ty Talcen, a recently opened tea room and gift shop in the community village centre with lots of local produce to enjoy.
• Prince Charles has refurbished a farmhouse nearby as his Welsh retreat and many of the soft furnishing fabrics used were sourced from Solva Woollen Mill in Pembrokeshire and the Welsh Quilt Centre at Lampeter.

• A treat for all lovers of bird life is a visit to the feeding centre with its daily spectacle of the Red Kites being fed.

• Llandovery, an ancient market town (3m) has an unhurried charm and is where the first independent Welsh bank,The Black Ox, was established by a wealthy drover.
• Llandovery Heritage Centre offers an insight into the life of the drovers long ago as well as local legends, the railway and local history.
• There is a tourist information centre, the Heart of Wales Railway, a ruined Norman castle to explore, supermarkets, delicatessen and much more.

• The National Botanical Garden of Wales and Aberglasney (A Garden lost in Time) are within an easy drive as is Llyn Brianne and Usk Reservoir.

• Brecon Beacons National Park is a ‘lived in' landscape with some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe – space and tranquillity surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of mountains.

• A great manor house and romantic formal gardens dating back to 1660. There are innovative and changing exhibitions as well as a permanent presentation depicting the house period between 1940 and 1945 when it used to be as a hospital.

• Dolaucothi Gold Mine in the village of Pumsaint was in use from Roman times to the 20th C. Take a fascinating tour of the underground workings, marvel at the exhibition on gold and try your hand at panning.
