Inside
Step into the oak-framed porch, kick off your boots, and enter the hall, the heart of the home. Head into the comfy living room, well equipped with luxurious Duresta sofas, a wood burner waiting to be lit, a television, and plenty of books and board games for you to enjoy.
Follow the hallway through into a large traditional kitchen, where delicious homemade cupcakes and welcome goodies await. The long oak table in the kitchen is perfect for hosting any special occasion. The kitchen leads out to a further boot room and utility room with hooks for hanging your coats and walking gear, a larder cupboard for storing all your tasty treats, a washing machine and tumble dryer, and flip flops to make your trips to and from the hot tub more comfortable. On the ground floor there is also a convenient WC and a separate cosy snug with smart TV & DVD player, perfect for movie nights.
Head up the mahogany stairs where you will be greeted with glorious panoramic mountain views, and a spacious landing area. Upstairs you will find three large bedrooms with inviting superking beds, the comfiest Vispring mattresses, and luxury White Company bed linen to ensure the perfect night’s sleep. The third bedroom can be made into two full-sized single beds upon request at time of booking. All three bedrooms have their own modern bathroom, two as en-suite shower rooms and one as a family bathroom with bath, waterfall shower, and bidet.
Outside
The cottage is surrounded by mature gardens filled with beautiful blooms. French doors lead onto an enclosed sun-trap patio, with a large oak table offering seating for six and a charcoal Weber barbecue, perfect for alfresco brunches and summer suppers.
Another idyllic patio area at the back of the property provides further seating. Hang your robes on the outdoor hooks, step into the bubbling Jacuzzi hot tub, sit back and admire the views and starry skies. Adjacent to the hot tub you will find a sizeable games room with football and ping pong tables, ideal for a great night of entertainment.
Carry the giant Jenga and boules set out onto the lawn for extended family fun, or escape with a good book and a cup of tea to the bench at the bottom of the garden for some peace and quiet.
A short 5 minute walk takes you to the award-winning local shop, Hopes of Longtown, and the village pub, The Crown Inn, and a ramble down the lane at the bottom of the green will take you to the base of Hatterrall Hill, with paths leading up to the summit.

Reviews
Wonderful cottage located in a beautiful location. The house was very spacious, comfortable and high-spec throughout. A really great base to explore the area. It was everything we wanted. Host was extremely responsive and helpful.
It’s also handily located near three excellent pubs with great food: I’d strongly recommend dinners/lunches at the Bulls Head (Craswell), Bridge Inn (Michealchurch) and The Crown (Pantygelli).

Place is amazingly beautiful. It has everything one needs for a peaceful and relaxing stay.
Game room kept us busy on rainy days and recommended places by Sophia kept us going when it was not raining.Sophia is a great host – she is super responsive, helpful and kind. We had a great time because the place was great and host was superb. She even ensured we had basics sorted – such as milk as we were arriving on a Sunday evening when most shops would be closed. Lovely cupcakes excited our kids – very thoughtful.
Thanks for everything , Sophia – we had a great time and would love to visit again.

Beautiful house and location. Very spacious for 6 people. All the bedrooms were a good size with plenty of storage. Lovely surprise to find a welcome hamper in the kitchen and extra goodies in the fridge on arrival. We had 2 teenagers with us and they loved the games room and jacuzzi. It was lovely to light the fire in the evenings and play some boards games from the selection in the house. Everything was thoughtfully planned out, from robes and flip flops for the jacuzzi, games, blankets in case you felt cold and many more. Would definitely recommend and would love to go back another time

We had the most wonderful stay at Tri Afon. The place was spotless and well equipped, all whilst having a lovely homely feel to it. The welcome hamper and personal touches didn’t go unnoticed. There are beautiful walks on the doorstep and a gorgeous little pub down the road. The hot tub and games room was great about a day hiking!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!August 2024, Chloe
Tri Afon was oozing with character. The house was spotless clean when we arrived. There was a delicious hamper waiting for us in the kitchen and a homemade cup cake for each of us. There were so many extra touches, dressing robes and flip flops for the hot tub, a picnic rug and a wonderful homemade wooden crook to hike with, which I put to use on an amazing hike over Offas Dyke. We played tennis at a local tennis club in Crickhowell, and had one of our best rated meals as a family at the Bulls Head.
We had a family competition night in the Games room with a barbecue outside.
Our dogs were comfortable and it was definitely a home from a home for all of us.Lots of memories were made and we definitely would like to return.

We had a fantastic stay at Sophia’s home. It’s a beautiful home and perfect for a relaxing family getaway. The local pub and shop are a short walk away and the surrounding area is a beautiful place for a trip. We would absolutely recommend a stay at Sophia’s home.

Lovely, meticulously finished and well-provided home away from home. Views of the mountains all around, particularly good from the upstairs bedroom windows. Just a few moments to walk to village pub and shop and indeed lots of hill-walking options straight out of the door. Highly recommend Crickhowell and Hay-on-Wye for driving daytrips; Llanthony Priory for walk (or drive) and yes, pub-style lunches; and the Kilpeck Inn (bit of a drive) for posh pub grub.

Absolutely beautiful 😍 with stunning views and a log fire and hottub to top it off! Remote cottage with everything you need for an escape from reality but with wifi !! Loved spending quality time with friends, playing board games, going for walks, bubbling away in the hot tub and watching movies infront on the log fire. What more could you want!!
