The charming cottage is nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Bronydd, just a short drive of 2.5 miles from the vibrant market town of Hay on Wye in Glamorgan, Wales. Accessible via a scenic 30 to 40-minute walk along the Offa's Dyke footpath, the location offers stunning views as it winds through fields and alongside the River Wye. Hay on Wye is renowned for its annual book festival and boasts a rich cultural scene, including a historical castle, a small independent cinema, and a variety of quirky shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. Visitors can also enjoy a weekly farmers market every Thursday, featuring seasonal local produce, artisanal cheeses, and crafts.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the area provides ample opportunities for exploration. During warmer months, guests can partake in activities such as paddling at The Warren, the local riverside beach, or engage in pony trekking, kayaking, and cycling. The cottage offers immediate access to the Offa's Dyke footpath, while more adventurous hikes can be found at Hay Bluff, Twmpa, and along the Hatterrall ridge. For a more leisurely stroll with breathtaking views, the roundabout walk on the Begwnn hills above Clyro is highly recommended, as well as a visit to the Black Mountains for panoramic vistas extending to Painscastle and Talgarth Common.
Inside, the cottage is designed for comfort and convenience, featuring a welcoming boot room off the entrance hall, perfect for storing wet boots and muddy pets after a day of exploration. The hallway exudes character with its limestone plastered walls and stone floors. The well-equipped kitchen, warmed by an Aga from October to mid-April, includes modern appliances such as an induction hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, allowing guests to prepare meals with ease. The inviting lounge, adorned with a wood burner and underfloor heating, offers cozy seating and views of the cottage gardens, complemented by a collection of DVDs for entertainment.
The accommodation includes two beautifully appointed bedrooms: a super king-size zip-and-link room that can be converted into a twin upon request, and a king-size room with dual aspect views and an adjoining dressing room featuring a single bed. The bathroom is a luxurious retreat with an original claw-foot bath, a separate shower, and a WC. Outside, guests can relax on a raised terrace complete with a BBQ, enjoying picturesque views of the Wye Valley and the surrounding hills. The gardens are a delight, showcasing established cottage flora and a babbling brook at the garden's end. Additional amenities include an open carport for bike storage and off-road parking for two vehicles, with a reminder that dogs should be supervised in the garden and not left unattended inside the property.
