Old Crofftau is one of our favourite cottages. This stunning holiday home for 8 people is just 3 miles from Brecon, but you're tucked away in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons with a footpath from the door straight up Cribyn and Penyfan. It's dog friendly, and child friendly, with lots of space, an enclosed garden and Cantref Adventure Farm and Riding Centre just a mile away. The house is comfortable and charming with a 1960s jukebox and plenty of antique furniture. The friendly owners live just next door and are happy to help you plan your trip.
