    “Lovely stay again as repeat customer - perfect location for what we need close to family and beautiful walks and cycling.”

    Good basic equipment- though bin lids are still broken 5months later. Only slight drawback is the fire in the lounge- once going it’s great! But has a tendency to fill the house with smoke even when following the detailed instructions! (And I’ve been lighting fires for 40+ years regularly) this lead to my elderly in-law being very cold at points as the heating was also locked into a schedule. Minor points and easily rectified. Other than that a fantastic stay as it’s a spacious property ...

    Good basic equipment- though bin lids are still broken 5months later. Only slight drawback is the fire in the lounge- once going it’s great! But has a tendency to fill the house with smoke even when following the detailed instructions! (And I’ve been lighting fires for 40+ years regularly) this lead to my elderly in-law being very cold at points as the heating was also locked into a schedule. Minor points and easily rectified. Other than that a fantastic stay as it’s a spacious property with lots of areas for quite time away from the ‘games room’ which is a fantastic space with kids! And the main bedroom having a lounge area is fab for some R&R with beautiful views from the sofa and bed! Good showers too! And lovely secure garden to let the dogs in! Overall a fab cottage that we will no doubt book again! Thank you

The property

Nestled in the peaceful village of Dol-y-Gaer near Pontsticill in Powys, on the southwestern edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park), is this beautiful home, The Chapel.

Adorned throughout with beamed ceilings and offering a woodburning stove, this holiday cottage with a hot tub, makes an idyllic escape for a family of six.

On arrival, park up in an off-road parking space before admiring the chapel archway, featuring stained glass windows.

Stepping inside, find an entrance hallway, here you can kick off your muddy boots before discovering the grand dining room, where you can tuck-into a feast or enjoy a game of cards on a rainy day.

Moving through the home, locate the kitchen, certain to entice budding chefs with its electric oven and gas hob; after cooking up a storm unwind on the garden furniture to soak in the rural scenery.

As the weather cools retire inside to warm up by the woodburning stove and find a family favourite on the Smart TV or why not head to the games room to play table football?

When your eyes grow heavy, climb up the wooden staircase and choose between three charming bedrooms.

Awaken with a revitalising rinse in the family shower room.

before admiring the morning sunshine in the garden with a cup of tea in hand and a pond close-by.

Stroll down to the breathtaking Pontsticill Reservoir to take in the view and later travel a short distance to the picture-postcard village of Pontsticill, where two warm and friendly pubs are located.

A 15 minute scenic car journey will take you to all your local amenities, including a range of supermarkets and shopping centre.

The renowned peak of Pen-y-Fan lies almost on your doorstep and is reachable on foot for the more adventurous hikers.

Alternatively, bring along your clubs to test your swing at Morlais Castle Golf Club.

The bustling city of Newport is also reachable, which hosts a great selection of shops for a slice of retail therapy, as well as museums to learn about the city's past and the remarkable, Tredegar House.

For long-lasting memories, enjoy a rural retreat at The Chapel.
