Beech Tree Cottage, Crickhowell.

Our home is located alongside Ffawyddog Common and overlooks the Black Mountains including Sugar Loaf and Table Mountain. The guest suite looks out onto a private and quiet garden. We hope our welcome will make up for the occasionally muddy lane. Guests will be accommodated in a cosy bedroom with a private shower room and toilet. Guests will also have access to a small study and lounge with wood burning stove. There is a king size bed which can be made up as two singles on request. Tea and coffee making facilities are also provided. A TV with an integral DVD player is provided in the guest bedroom. We have no garage here but have a locked shed in which push bikes can be stored. We also have a small drying room for damp waterproofs and boots. Crickhowell is located in the heart of the Black Mountains and is a very popular holiday destination for walkers and cyclists. Crickhowell is a thriving small town with a variety of small independent shops and pubs including the 'Bear'. There are also a number of excellent restaurants in the area including the 'Hardwick', 'Walnut Tree' and '1861'. Our home is situated in the small hamlet of Ffawyddog which is around 1.5 miles from Crickhowell. On arrival guests will be greeted with a cup of tea or coffee and home made Welsh cakes. Freshly prepared breakfast will be provided in the family kitchen; a variety of breakfasts choices will be available to guests. Stephen is a mountain walk leader who can help with planning your walking routes. Our home is within the Brecon Beacons National Park and sits on a bridle path. This area is used by many visitors as a base for walking, cycling and sight seeing; there are several pretty walks from our home and many others just a short drive away. This area is a designated Dark Skies area and on clear nights be prepared to be amazed by the number of stars you can see! There is adequate parking on our driveway for guests who arrive by car. The nearest train station is at Abergavenny (6 miles); guests can either make a prior arrangement for collection or take a taxi to our home. We have two very friendly cocker spaniels, William and Harry, who live with us in the family room.
