An incredibly peaceful location, reached by narrow winding single track lanes. Beautiful walks nearby and amazing scenery. It's great for dogs in so many ways however beware that the garden is not secure and there is wildlife and sheep around, so it may be worth taking a tie out line or other means of keeping them safe/secure.It is wise to take the essentials with you but there are supermarkets at Hay on Wye and Builth Wells. The cottage itself is clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The owners are very generous with logs for the woodburner, but take a stock of £1/£2 coins for the electricity. We found we didn't use a huge amount, the immersion heater is effective so half an hour was enough, and we didn't use the electric radiators at all.

Wonderful quirky cottage. Exactly what I was looking for to escape the fireworks - lovely, peaceful, remote area surrounded by fields and trees. Lovely log burner for cosy evenings. About 20minute drive from Bulith Wells, which for me is fine - There are some lovely shops and cafes to wander around, so worth a visit.
