Gablebach at Black Mountain Escapes

Period Cottage Escape in West Wales

Tucked away near the Tywi Valley, Gablebach offers a peaceful escape surrounded by the rolling countryside of West Wales, within easy reach of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. This beautifully restored period cottage combines vintage character with modern comfort, creating the perfect retreat for couples or small families seeking tranquillity and charm.

Inside, you’ll find a cosy lounge with a traditional log burner, original beams, and a Chesterfield sofa – the perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring. The handcrafted kitchen includes an Aga and modern appliances, seamlessly blending rustic design with everyday convenience. Upstairs, the master bedroom features an antique French bed, complemented by a luxury slipper bath and elegant furnishings that celebrate the cottage’s heritage.

Outside, the patio and garden offer wonderful views across the valley and towards the Tywi river – ideal for a quiet drink under the stars. Guests can bring one well-behaved dog (by arrangement) and make use of equine facilities on site.

With its blend of history, comfort, and scenic beauty, Gablebach is an inviting rural hideaway and a perfect base for exploring Bannau Brycheiniog and the wider landscapes of West Wales.
