Walnut Tree Cottage

Walnut Tree Cottage is located in the idyllic village of Llanigon, just 1.5 miles from the famous literary town of Hay-on-Wye, which straddles the English/Welsh border. Known as the Kingdom of Books, bookshops, antique shops, and galleries line the picturesque streets and visitors are warmly welcomed by the friendly local community. The town has several excellent restaurants and a weekly market selling fresh produce and local crafts. Music performances, theatre and poetry readings are regularly held throughout the year. Plenty of good walks and kayaking through the River Wye should be noticed!
​
Llanigon is located at the doorstep of the famous Welsh Black Mountains and is only half an hour from Brecon Beacons National Park, which is well-loved for its walks in a place of outstanding natural beauty. Other activities include mountain biking, stargazing, horse riding, fishing, caving, white water rafting, and gliding. There are many multi-activity centres to keep the little ones busy.

Tucked away in a charming village surrounded by woodland, Walnut Tree Cottage is a traditional Welsh stone cottage dating from 1881 with a modern extension housing a large primary suite and a bright, airy kitchen.

French doors lead to a fairytale garden bursting with flowers, herbs and fruit in the summer. Guests can listen to the babbling brook (which leads to an 8ft waterfall), explore the peaceful woodland and make a pizza in the outdoor oven all year round. Expect to see kingfishers, trout and even otters!
​
The cosy living room - featuring a wood burner - flows into the reception room and kitchen, allowing guests to spend time together or apart. The charming downstairs bedroom sleeps three single beds under the eaves, with space for a baby in a travel cot provided upon request. A utility room contains a washer/dryer, iron and ironing board, a family-sized fridge and toys for the little ones. Upstairs, all three bedrooms feature king-size beds and the extensive master bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom.

The cottage has been lovingly decorated to a high specification in a calming palette. The property, whilst not large, is big in style, with furniture and fittings from all over the world.
