Black Mountain Escapes, Gablebach

Elegant Riverside Retreat in the Heart of the Tywi Valley

Tucked away in a peaceful, private setting, Gablebach is a beautifully styled period cottage overlooking the village green and the River Tywi, with sweeping views across the surrounding valley. Located within easy reach of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, this charming escape is ideal for couples or small groups seeking relaxation, scenery and timeless comfort.

Just a short stroll from the local pub, Gablebach offers outdoor seating on the patio – the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine and stargaze under the clear Welsh skies. Inside, the cottage is warm and inviting, with a large open-plan lounge centred around a log burner and deep Chesterfield sofa. The bespoke kitchen blends rustic charm with discreet modern appliances, all warmed by a traditional Aga.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a picture of vintage luxury, with a carved 1920s French bed dressed in silk and velvet. Antique furnishings continue the elegant theme, and the en-suite features a roll-top bath and Victorian washstand. A second room doubles as a dressing room or single bedroom.

With equine facilities available, space for one dog (by arrangement), WiFi, ample parking, and thoughtful touches throughout, Gablebach offers a beautifully curated countryside stay with comfort and heritage at its heart.
