A picturesque Welsh village, Glasbury is also known as Glasbury-on-Wye. Located north of the Black Mountains and just outside the Brecon Beacons National Park, the village serves as a key crossing point on the River Wye, which once divided the mediaeval counties of Brecknockshire and Radnorshire. The Harp Inn, a tavern that has been around since the 18th century, can be found in the centre of town, as can a gas station stocked with all the basics.

The road to the front can be a little noisy first thing in the morning but not a great problem. The cottage is purpose built and is in good condition with most mod cons. The two ensuites to the bedrooms are a bonus. The cottage is in a good location to visit many lovely Welsh towns. Hay on Wye Market is a must and Talfarth is quaint and small but has an amazing butcher/deli and greengrocers/general convenience store. I would highly recommend a stay and would return.

View of the Black Mountains was impressive. The owners live on site and were there to greet us and make us welcome. Would return again.
