A dog-friendly holiday cottage near Crickhowell in the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales

Pontganol Cottage is a cosy, two-bedroom, dog-friendly holiday cottage sitting in the stunning scenery of the Llangynidr and Crickhowell area.

Take a stroll

There are walks all around. Discover gentle strolls along the canal finishing at one of the village’s two pubs. Head out on nature-spotting excursions beyond the canal to the river (where you can go wild swimming too).

Testimonials from happy guests

  • Woof!

    Harri the dog

  • We love the log fire in the sitting room, and it's great having a separate room for the children to have a go with some of the wii games, we also love the luxurious bathroom and roll top bath. We'll be back again.

    Harriet A via TripAdvisor

  • Pontganol is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. Hilary's touches of little extras pepper the rooms everywhere and they certainly add to the welcome.

    Louise L via TripAdvisor

  • It really is a home from home as virtually everything you need is there for you to use. Has to be one of the best, if not the best, holiday rental I've ever visited.

    Geoff H, via TripAdvisor

  • The cottage herself is beautiful, both inside and out, spotlessly clean and full of charm and character.

    Louise L via TripAdvisor

  • The cottage is finished to the highest standard I've encountered and is a step beyond what you normally expect! You really get the feeling that the owner created this holiday cottage with a good heart - not just as a business.

    feelingblessed2015 via TripAdvisor

  • The cottage has been beautifully renovated to an extremely high standard, keeping many of the original 1800's features, and then complementing them with modern in-keeping facilities, kitchen, bathroom, heating etc. It certainly has the wow factor inside. All in all a great place to relax after a tough day in the hills, we'll be back.

    Steve C via TripAdvisor

  • There's loads to explore on the doorstep and we enjoyed walking along the canal as well as climbing Table mountain from the nearby Crickhowell. We genuinely didn't want to leave and will definitely be back.

    Covid-19 and the little cottage

    I am pleased that the Welsh Government is hopefully about to announce that self-catering accommodation in Wales will re-open on the 13th July 2020. (Keep your fingers crossed!) However, the holiday landscape has changed in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, and even holidays in......
