A charming property in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, this cottage is ideal for couples, families or friends seeking a restful base for an activity-filled holiday. Located in the town of Brecon, a vibrant town that is a starting point for many hikes, bike rides and outdoor adventures. A half-mile walk takes you to the Brecon Canal Basin to explore parts of the long-distance walk along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal path.

This characterful cottage combines warm hues and a delightful rustic elegance, making for a memorable stay. Head into the lounge, where comfortable seating around a Smart TV is perfect for movie nights. Take the stairs down to the lower ground floor to reach the kitchen/diner, a cosy space ideal for chatting while preparing some tasty treats. The back door from the kitchen/diner provides direct access down a few steps to a decking area, perfect for dining alfresco on fine days. More steps lead to a small, enclosed garden. On the first floor, you'll find a family bathroom and a double bedroom and on the second floor, a twin bedroom. From the lounge, open the French doors and step out onto the balcony to enjoy commanding views over the town, the River Usk, and the historic Christ College buildings. The garden is accessible from the kitchen and features an elevated decked area with garden furniture that invites you to sit and unwind. A gate at the bottom of the garden leads directly onto the river footpath. There are several pay-and-display car parks near the property, as well as a free car park located 300 metres away.

For those seeking adventure, the National Showcaves Centre for Wales and Craig-y-Nos Country Park are less than 20 miles away, offering both above- and below-ground activities. Hikers can tackle Pen-y-Fan, a challenging peak, less than 5 miles from the property. For a more leisurely day, a trip to Talybont-on-Usk (7.5 miles) for a canal boat ride through the stunning Usk Valley scenery is a must.

We very much enjoyed our week in Ty Melyn. The property was comfortable, well equipped and ideally located for all town centre amenities, restaurants, pubs etc. whilst offering river & countryside views. The glorious weather allowed us to take full advantage of the lounge balcony and outside decking area, and the dedicated, private parking space waRead mores a definite bonus. Portable electric fans were available & most welcome! Highly recommended. Hide
