Nestled in a tiny hamlet of only 4 other houses, and surrounded by stunning countryside, Millbrook Cottage offers the best of both worlds; a rural, picturesque and tranquil setting yet only a few minutes drive from Crickhowell or Abergavenny in the heart of the Brecon Beacons. This fantastic location makes Millbrook Cottage an ideal base for an energetic, adventure holiday or for those needing a break from the hustle and bustle.
Millbrook Cottage is the perfect place from which to explore the stunning Brecon Beacons. Cycling, walking, pony trekking, climbing and kayaking are just a few of the activities on our doorstep.
Our rural location also makes the cottage a fantastic retreat for bird-watching and wildlife enthusiasts. Come and visit us and explore the dramatic Black Mountains, climb the famous Skirrid Mountain and enjoy the wonderful hospitality of the local pubs and renowned restaurants including The Crown at Whitebrook (Wales' only Michelin-starred restaurant), The Walnut Tree and The Hardwick.
Millbrook Cottage sleeps 5 in 4 well-appointed bedrooms. The house has a kitchen/diner and utility room fitted with washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven and hob.
Downstairs there is a comfortable sunroom, living room with original cast-iron range, a single bedroom, and modern shower room.
Upstairs has 2 single bedrooms, a master bedroom and a modern bathroom. All bedrooms feature wardrobes, bedside tables and dressing tables and quality linen and towels are provided.
The cottage also features a flat screen TV with basic Sky, DVD player, CD/radio with AUX connection and wireless broadband. A travel cot and high chair can be provided if required.
Externally there is a spacious garden, parking for up to 3 vehicles, a BBQ and seating area.
Made up of just 5 dwellings and criss-crossed by streams, the hamlet of Millbrook sits 1/2 mile from the village of Llangenny. Surrounded by lush gardens and fields of livestock, the cottage itself is reached via a bridge over a stream. Millbrook sits alongside the banks of the river Grwyney, and also boasts an enormous and beautiful Sweet Chestnut tree, which is said to date from as far back as the 12th century.
Numerous footpaths and bridleways give access straight from the cottage to routes to the nearby Sugar Loaf Mountain and many other trails all over the Brecon Beacons.
A short walk takes you into the parish of Llangenny. A village of just over 100 people, the local pub 'The Dragon's Head' offers local ales and fantastic food.
