Glaswain, Brecon

Brecon Beacons. Sleeps up to 5

Glaswain Cottage is a simple traditional 19th century farm worker's cottage situated on a very quiet country lane midway between the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons. This character property provides a warm welcome inside with a lovely woodburning stove and has lots of space outside with a lawned garden and small orchard to enjoy. Glaswain is surrounded by rolling fields and provides a secluded base for those looking to explore Mid-Wales and Herefordshire. There are two great pubs a couple of miles away in Llyswen and the towns of Brecon and Hay-on-Wye are each just 7 miles away.

We are afraid that during the summer months July and August and early September check in will be after 6.00 p.m. but it also means you can leave the property later in the morning.
