Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottage for 2
The Coach House
Our converted Victorian Coach House offers you a rural retreat for two in the hills of the Brecon Beacons. Dating from the 19th century it served as the coach house and stables for the vicar of Aberyscir who lived at the Rectory. Aberyscir is a small hamlet on the river Yscir, a tributary of the river Usk, a few miles to the west of Brecon.
There are panoramic views of the mountains and glorious dark night skies to view the stars. Native breed sheep graze our surrounding fields during the summer months and our chickens supply you with free range eggs when available. There is a log burner to curl up in front of after a long relaxing hot bath.

Brecon Beacons Guide
My personal guide to the Brecon Beacons has been compiled from my visits over the years including those as a Brecon Beacons Ambassador. It covers mountains castles monuments lakes and rivers. It includes a selection of the many food literature and music festivals. You will also find a selection of restaurant reviews that I have tried out on behalf of my guests.
Local Activites
Brecon is the nearest town for shops and restaurants. In August you can visit the Brecon Jazz Festival whilst the famous Hay Festival in the town of Hay on Wye is just 17 miles away.
You will find golf courses at Cradoc and Brecon. It also has a leisure centre, museum and theatre. You can fish on the Yscir, Usk and Wye rivers and of course some of the best walking, cycling and riding anywhere.
The Brecon Beacons National Park was the first Dark-Sky reserve in Wales. This makes it the perfect destination for you to stargaze.
Guests Comments
The Coach House has been lovely. Our hosts have been perfect, totally putting us at our ease. Their knowledge and expertise helped us plan our lovely weekend.
Chris & Chloe Kegworth
It's a lovely quiet cottage with only the sounds of nature to disturb you. Lovely walks from the cottage, fresh eggs from the owners chickens and not far to the local shops to stock up on supplies. Ideal accommodation for any couple with a car. Valerie is 'a mind of information' on the Brecon Beacons area, with suggestions for lots of activities.

We have had a wonderful holiday staying in your coach house. It was so comfortable and homely and had everything and more we needed. The little extras including rhubarb fresh from the garden - we made a lovely crumble.

Sarah & Chris - Bristol
We have really loved staying in the coach house. Although here primarily for the Hay Festival we have enjoyed the scenery and countryside. The cottage itself is just perfect and is so well thought out, it has everything you need and lots of thoughtful extras.

John and I can only endorse everything that has been said before. The weather was very kind to us. Valerie and Peter have a wealth of knowledge of the area and the welcome pack was very much appreciated. Couldn't think of a better place to celebrate John's 80th birthday.

A quaint little gem, perfect for walking in the Brecon Beacons! From the wood fire, to the fresh eggs, would definitely recommend a stay come rain or shine!

Thankyou so much for our lovely stay. Loads of helpful information from you both.The kitchen was very well equiped, we did't lack for anything.

A place so obviously developed to be at one with nature, and an example we should all follow to reverse the ongoing exitential threat to our 'tree of life'. Well done Valerie for creating such a wonderful oasis. Five stars!
