Overview
Property code: BN289

Enjoying a quiet location set back from the main village, this spacious cottage offers comfortable accommodation for up to six guests, acting as a peaceful base for exploring the surrounding village and countryside.

The picture-perfect village of Glasbury is home to this fabulous Welsh cottage with ample outdoor space and comfortable interiors. Made for memory-making retreats for up to six guests and two dogs, the accommodation has been sympathetically designed with groups of family or friends in mind. Superb features can be found throughout the property, including quality cookware in the well-equipped kitchen for your group’s budding chef to rustle up something delicious. Spend every day exploring the Brecon Beacons on your doorstep, exploring activity days out, hiking expeditions and bike rides in the local area before heading home to relax together in comfort.

Decorated with pleasant home-from-home features, you’re certain to feel comfortable from the moment you arrive at this lovely end terrace. The kitchen and separate dining room are adjacent, allowing you to serve up meals and clean away with ease. There’s also an outdoor dining set on the patio for catching the last of the day’s sunshine at dinnertime. Children and pets can play in the enclosed grassy garden whilst you sit with a sundowner. As the night draws in, head into the lounge and spend some time in front of the TV with the wood burner filling the space with warmth, the perfect end to the day before you head up to find three first-floor bedrooms.

Take a walk along the river to reach Hay-on-Wye (4 miles), the literary hub of South Wales. With its wide selection of bookshops and annual literary festival, this town is a must-visit for anyone who loves to read. It’s also an extremely scenic market town with pubs and cafes to take refuge in whilst the readers of your group get lost in ancient bookstores. For those who prefer to get up and get active, discover nearby Black Mountain Adventure (2 miles) for guided activities including gorge walking, archery, rock climbing and abseiling.

We stayed at Plough Cottage during the February half term holiday. My husband and I brought along our daughter and son in law and their two sons aged 11 and 8 years. This cottage was very comfortable. It was smartly and comfortably furnished and there was plenty of room for us all. The kitchen was very well equipped and we lacked for nothing. The pRead morelay park, only yards away was great for the boys. An area of natural beauty, we found it difficult to leave. Hide

Excellent holiday in a superb location. Family had a wonderful time, walking up Pen y Fan, kayaking on river Wye, boating on canal, and more stunning walks!! Cottage is great, the owner is obviously a foodie, with every utensil you could need, plus some lovely lux touches: DAB radio in bathroom, le creuset kitchenware & Aesop hand wash. Only negatiRead moreve: dog escaped the garden within minutes of arriving, so husband had to create a barrier in the parts of the hedge which didn't have fence. Hide

Cottage comes with everything you need and the owner makes you feel very welcome. Great shower, good location (we walked to Hay, there is a river and playground nearby very cosy house on rainy days. The weather didnt permit us to make much use of the gardens, so well have to come back sometime :).

A very comfortable and well equipped house with everything we needed for a lovely break. Dog friendly throughout, with a very secure enclosed garden and suitable flooring. Ample garden furniture, comfortable beds, very clean. Great location in peaceful village near Hay on Wye. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing time at Plough Cottage in Glasbury-on-Wye! The cottage was fully equipped and the dog loved the run of the front and back garden. The downstairs shower room was a big advantage especially after a day in the River!
