  • "A lovely clean well equipped cottage."

    Front room very cosy for an evening in, with a warm electric fire. Great location. We arrived late the first day and parked in a nearby car park, otherwise there was spaces on the road near the house. Shame the smart tv was not connected to the internet.

  • "Lovely little cottage in very convenient location in Brecon."

    Well equipped and very helpful owner. Nice and cool inside during the heat wave. Close to the canal, where we went on an excellent boat trip. We were fortunate in being able to find a nearby roadside parking space for every day of our 2 week stay. Thank you

Resting in the bustling and historic town of Brecon on the doorstep of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park), Rorkes Cottage offers four guests a delightful base from which to explore this area of Mid-Wales.

Just a short walk from the nearest shops and pubs, Rorkes Cottage has a traditional enclosed courtyard and is ideal for a family of four or two couples.

Take in the attractive exterior of this pretty abode painted blue, before heading inside and straight into the sitting room to find a homely setting to unwind in at the end of the day, where a Smart TV can entertain as you relax on the sofa or choice of armchairs.

Continue through to the kitchen/diner when feeling peckish to whip up a tasty feast making use of the ample appliances here, including a fridge/freezer and a handy washing machine, while a dining table sits in the centre which can be folded out to create plenty of space for all.

On warm days, enjoy sitting outside with a refreshing drink in the attractive enclosed courtyard, made beautiful with the décor and thoughtful touches, you can spend many a balmy evening here in the company of your loved ones.

Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower, while the stairs take you up to the two bedrooms; the first is a roomy super-king-size bedroom, with zip/link beds offering a twin layout if needed, with the second consisting of a king-size bedroom, another zip/link able to be 2'6" twin on request and served by an en-suite shower room.

The property is just a short stroll from the nearest shops and pubs, perfect for picking up any last minute essentials or ending the day with a delicious drink, while the centre of Brecon is spilling with interesting shops, delis, pubs and restaurants, with the River Usk, River Honddu and the Brecon Canal all providing picturesque waterside scenery to explore too.

Visit the Brecon Cathedral, dating back to the 11th century and situated in a former priory, and soak up the culture within the Y Gaer Museum, Art Gallery & Library housed in a Greek revival building dating back to 1842 with lots of interesting exhibits to discover, perfect for a rainy day!

Embark on adventures within the amazing national park on your doorstep, with a host of outdoor activity organisers to help steer you in the right direction along with places like the Llangorse Multi Activity Centre, offering rock climbing and horse riding and near to Llangorse Lake where you can hire boats or go fishing.

Walkers can look forward to exploring the gorgeous peaks including Waun Rydd, Fan y Big, and Tor y Foel, the latter known for its panoramic views.

A great day out is waiting for you at National Showcaves Centre for Wales, offering a wonderful experience exploring these fascinating geological sites, as well as a Dinosaur Park with full-sized dinosaurs which children are sure to love, a shire horse centre and a museum.

Within easy driving distance are the towns of Abergavenny to the south and Builth Wells to the north, both well worth a visit.
