Pretty Stone Cottage: Hot Tub, Real Fire, Wifi & Riverside Views

Come and spend some time in beautiful mid Wales! Mill House is a characterful 200 year old stone cottage with exposed original beams and a real fire in an inglenook hearth, situated in a beautiful riverside location on the edge of the Brecon National Park in mid/south Wales. It's an ideal base for walking, fishing, birdwatching, golf, cycling, boating, canoeing and canal adventures, or you can just relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery ! Watch red kites swoop overhead, or salmon leap in the river in autumn!

New cedar hot tub installed in May 2017 for exclusive use by guests!

The cottage is private and is set in a quiet rural location. A beautiful romantic retreat or a great base for family fun! Mill House has a living room with a real fire, sumptuous comfy sofas and a large 'smart' TV (for Netflix, Amazon Prime etc); fibreoptic wifi; a well-equipped kitchen with oven and hob, microwave, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer; and a spacious dining room. The dining room opens onto a balcony and patio areas - both overlooking the pretty river. Ideal for relaxing with a drink and a good book! Upstairs, there is the main tiled bathroom with toilet, vanity unit and deep bath; a comfy double bedroom; and two single bedrooms - one has an en suite equipped with toilet, washbasin and power shower.

The cottage is 5 miles north of Brecon, with two supermarkets, a cinema, theatre, leisure centre, visitors' centre, quaint individual shops, and a wide selection of cafes and restaurants serving locally-sourced food and drink. There are two golf courses within a few miles of the cottage, and the beautiful book town of Hay-on-Wye is only a short drive away (15 miles). It is a stunning area for walkers with waterfalls, woodland, and open moorland to explore. Come and enjoy your very own rural retreat !
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a phone.

Relaxation at its best

This was such a lovely well needed break. The cottage is quaint with everything you may need. My particular favourite thing is the hot tub, which is just the ticket after a long day of walking around the beautiful Welsh countryside. Will definitely be returning !!!

Lovely quiet honeymoon getaway

Stayed for a week in December and was everything we hoped it would be. Quiet location in a very beautiful setting. Warm and cosy cottage with a lovely log burner and a well kept and very welcom hot tub. Beds are really comfy and bathrooms clean and tidy. My only recommendation would be to have some grit available in winter as the driveway is quite steep and too icy to park our car on. Would highly recommend and we're already looking at availability in the summer

Love the hot tub!

A perfect cottage for a week in the Brecon Beacons. Well appointed, clean and a very pretty conversion. The hot tub was definitely the star of the show to ease muscles after a long day walking. Only negative is the fact its not to easy to park in front of the cottage as the flagstones on the lip of the drive were loose, but this is super minor in the context of a well appointed and furnished property

What a great place

We spent the week at the Mill cottage and could have stayed much longer. Such a great location, and the well equipped cottage made for a very enjoyable stay. We had a longer car, about 4.9 m, and we could just squeeze it in, but there is additional parking down the road if that is an issue. Check in was a breeze and a friendly neighbor came over during our stay to service the hot tub (which we did not use) Short 10 minute drive into Brecon on the partially one lane roads add to the charm . Ideally suited to enjoy you all that the area has to offer. No cell service, but great Wi-Fi and a smart TV so you can stream programs, besides the FreeviewTV Fantastic place!

Excellent Cottage, Great Location

We have a brilliant and memorable time in the cottage. The tranquility of the passing river and the remoteness were great. The hot tub was a bonus and a big hit with our teenagers. The cottage is cosy and area quiet and relaxing.

Pure Perfection

This beautiful cottage is pure perfection! It is a lot bigger than we expected and literally caters for everything you would want for a country getaway! We have come to celebrate my 30th birthday and we are over the moon with our decision to pick here. After some long walks it was nice to come back and soak in the hot tub with a glass of prosecco or 2! Thank you for having us and we can't wait to return

A wonderful place to stay

A beautiful little cottage with everything we needed, communication with the host was excellent although we didn't need to make contact throughout our stay as everything was perfect. The cottage was spotless and a real joy to stay in. The setting was lovely with the River running along the back of the property was a real spectacle. The hot tub was a real treat and very nice to jump into after the long walks. Thanks very much for everything and we will definitely look to book again soon.

Weekend Away

Very easy to book and confirm with host. Sian is very helpful and provided clear check-in/check out instructions. There are information booklets in the cottage to help find things and instructions for the hot tub. The cottage itself is lovely. It's in a peaceful location and easy to get to from Brecon. Parking is a little awkward but otherwise everything else is absolutely great. We had a wonderful stay!

Absolutely amazing

I have to say that we were blown away with this place. The pictures do not do it justice! The river behind it was so beautiful! So many birds and wildlife. The cottage was clean and very homely. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We will be back! Only negative is you need a new frying pan. It was unusable. But everything else was perfect

Hired this cottage as we wanted to visit The Royal Welsh Show that is about half an hours drive away. Everything was perfect,the cottage is beautiful and the surroundings so peaceful.

Charming, cosy cottage

Loved staying at Mill House for our annual New Year break in Wales. We particularly enjoyed having a dip in the hot tub and then relaxing in front of the toasty log fire! The cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Plenty to explore in the surrounded areas and a great base for a getaway break, highly recommend!

Lovely setting in beautiful surroundings. Haven't stayed at a prettier place!

Idyllic setting. Beautiful cottage. Fabulous hot tub with gorgeous views. Could be a 5* cottage, with a bit of TLC. Windows need replacing especially upstairs as there were gaps in tops of windows, draughty and noisy with the river noise, especially in the single room compared to downstairs in dining room where it has double glazing. quite a few Lightbulbs needed replacing. None worked outside single bedroom on the landing, a few were not working in the hot tub. The radiator in the single ensuite needed bleeding as was only barely warm at the top , but cold at the bottom. This room was quite cold compared to the others. A few negatives but lots of these easily fixed and would really make it top class. We loved it despite these and would happily come back again!
