Property code: OC-88172

Relax into the bubbling hot tub with countryside views in this elegant and bright luxury lodge with a wood burner, an open-plan layout with a wooden beamed ceiling, and a mezzanine floor. During your getaway in a small village in the Brecon Beacons, you and up to five other guests can enjoy days filled with scenic mountain trails, heritage sites and picnics in the forest.

As you step inside, you’ll notice the tall, wooden beamed ceiling which creates a spacious and airy feel within the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Natural light pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows while contemporary floor lamps and hanging lights produce an ambient glow. The cosy lounge area offers comfortable sofa and armchair seating around the wood burner and coffee table. On the other side of the room is a neat ‘L’-shaped fitted kitchen with light cabinets and surface tops. Adjacent is a wooden dining table with rustic chairs. Also on the ground floor is a family bathroom, an en-suite double bedroom, and a twin room. On the mezzanine level is a king-size bedroom. Outside, you’ll find a lawned garden with a patio area, furniture and a hot tub.

Despite being in a rural setting in the Brecon Beacons, you’ll benefit from the convenience of Talybont-on-Usk’s village amenities – including a couple of pubs and a shop. Stroll along the River Caerfanell (less than 200 metres) and around the Talybont Reservoir (3.5 miles). Watch the cascading waterfalls of Baen-y-Glyn (7.5 miles) or take to the water by boat at Llangorse Lake (7 miles). Put on your hiking boots and explore the highest peaks of South Wales – such as Pen y Fan (15.5 miles).

Absolutely perfect. Fantastic location (if you drive) Very quiet and beautiful. The lodge its self is gorgeous. The owner really has made it stunning. We visited in the summer but looking forward to going back to see it in winter. Everything is top notch. You won't be disappointed

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, the views up the valley towards Brecon are lovely. The cottage is very well equipped. Accessible for low mobility but not wheelchair friendly. Our only gripe is the property advert says hot tub, its not its a lazy spa. Two very different products and they need better maintenance. You pay a premium for a hot tRead moreub and to only get a lazy spa was disappointing. The host is lovely and nothing is too much trouble. We will be back. Thank you. Hide
