Embraced by a hillside overlooking a valley, you're sure to be taken aback by the views from this stone cottage. With a gentle, winding single-lane approach through woodlands and pastures, this rustic yet confident abode with underfloor-heated slate floors will be sure to give you the Welsh rural welcome you're after. On your return from hiking the hills, take a moment on the patio to admire the landscape you've just climbed. Head into the cosy dining room for a home-cooked meal with your loved ones, before settling in for the evening in the double-height living room with exposed stone walls steeped in history. There’s an inglenook fireplace in the living room and dining room so you can be sure the space is extra cosy. When you're ready for bed, retreat to your bedroom but be sure you remember which of the two staircases your room is up, the views from the top of the home are incredible.
