Whisk your loved one away to this stylish retreat in a beautiful setting close to Talybont-on-Usk. Sleeping just two guests, the single-storey, contemporary, barn-style cottage, which comes with a hot tub, is one of three exquisitely designed lodges in landscaped grounds on a farm within the impressive setting of Bannau Brycheiniog, also known as the Brecon Beacons. With opportunities for walking and wild swimming on site, the location is also perfect for anyone wishing to head off mountain climbing, cycling or canoeing.

Make your way inside to discover chic, exquisitely finished accommodation with more than a touch or two of luxury. At the heart of the holiday home is a bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with long windows that frame the views all around. Light the wood burner in here so it throws out a cosy glow, then curl up together on the sofa in front of the TV with a glass of wine in your hand. Treat each other to romantic meals whisked up in the elegant kitchen, where you will find everything you require to help you in your endeavours. Dine together at the table inside or out. At the end of each fabulous day away together, enjoy a sumptuous night’s sleep in the king-size bedroom, which has access to an impressive en-suite shower room, where you can soak under the double rainfall shower. Have coffee and even breakfast out on your patio on fine mornings. Cook on the BBQ and unwind in the hot tub when you return from your excursions.

Walk 2.5 miles from your base to reach the shores of the picturesque Talybont Reservoir. Hire bikes or canoes in Talybont-on-Usk itself and paddle or cycle out along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. Alternatively, walk or cycle a section of the Taff Trail, which passes through the village.

I booked this property at the last minute, for a weeks break with my husband who now relies on a small portable mobility scooter to get about outdoors. From this point of view, it proved to be perfect, with paved paths to the single-level Lodge, and a short lane to the canal for flat towpath explorations and access to the local canal-side Shop & CaRead morefe or pub. Secluded properties, lovely views, beautiful birdsong, plus hot tubs for those who wish. Hide

The wonderful and well equipped lodge was set in a very peaceful and beautiful location with walks along the canal or up into the mountains from the door. Wildlife in abundance, a place to unwind!

Fantastic stay in a great location. The lodge is very well equipped and comfortable. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Lovely views, lots of bird song (late April/early May).
