Welcome to Hilltops Holiday Cottages

Hilltops Brecon has two self-catering cottages at The Held, an old hill farm about two miles from Brecon. The stone farm buildings retain original features and sit at the end of a private drive, with views across farmland and the hills of Bannau Brycheiniog.

The Farmhouse sleeps four in two bedrooms and has two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living area with a fireplace. The Longhouse is listed for four guests in a king bedroom and a twin bedroom, with two bathrooms. An additional bedroom may be available for larger parties of up to six; contact the owners to confirm this before booking. Its open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is upstairs, reached from the patio stairs and glass balcony.

Both cottages have their own outdoor seating, equipped kitchens, bed linen, towels, on-site parking and fibre broadband with Wi-Fi. An EV charger is available; ask the owners about its use and current charges.

Access from the parking area includes a gravel track and steep steps, so check the access statement and speak to the owners about your requirements before booking. Pets are not accepted, but assistance dogs are welcome; let the owners know in advance.
