Escape to the Brecon Beacons in style with this charmingly rustic cottage in the popular village of Talybont-on-Usk, the perfect location for canal walks and plenty of peace and quiet.
This characterful cottage enjoys a tucked-away location in the pretty village of Talybont-on-Usk. Sleeping three guests, the cottage makes a lovely romantic bolthole or a cosy base for a small family. The area is a paradise for walkers, with river and canal walks from your front door, as well as more challenging hikes such as Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak in southern Britain (7 miles away). The bustling market town of Brecon is just 7 miles away, with a great range of shops and eateries.
The cottage carefully combines original features with contemporary decor and furniture, to create a cosy and welcoming home-away-from-home. A couple of steps lead to the cottage and into the kitchen, which has everything you need for a stress-free, self-catering break. From here, wander through to the light-filled, open-plan lounge/diner, featuring elegant wooden floors and a cosy wood burner. Relax here, sharing mealtimes at the table overlooking the garden or snuggled up on the sofa watching the Smart TV. You’ll also find a selection of books and games for your enjoyment. The family bathroom is on the ground floor and steep, cottage-style stairs lead to the two bedrooms, both of which boast spectacular rural views. Outside, unwind in the pretty cottage garden, listening to the birds as you dine on the patio. You’ll also find an enclosed lawn that’s ideal for four-legged guests.
Talybont-on-Usk is a picture-postcard village, full of pretty walking routes along the river and the canal towpath. The Taff Trail also passes through the village, offering fabulous cycling opportunities. After a long walk or cycle, dine in one of the village pubs. Just outside the village is the stunning beauty spot of Talybont Reservoir. Here, you’ll find several circular walking trails, taking you along the water’s edge and through the surrounding forests.
