This pretty cottage in the heart of Llangynidr, a traditional Welsh village surrounded by the natural beauty of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, is perfect for couples, friends or small families seeking a relaxing escape. The property is perfectly placed for exploring one of South Wales’ most scenic regions. The village itself is steeped in canal heritage, with five locks along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal and both the canal and River Usk flowing through the landscape. The market towns of Crickhowell (5 miles) and Brecon (10 miles) are close by, and both feature independent shops to browse and eateries to savour some local fare.
Enter this charming two-storey home into an elegantly furnished lounge rich in original features, including ceiling beams and a striking exposed stone fireplace housing a wood burner. Unwind in the comfortable seating with a lazy afternoon tea or watch the Smart TV. To the rear is a light-filled, contemporary kitchen/diner with all the appliances you need to cook up a storm and enjoy unhurried meals. Garden access is via the characterful stable door. A small lobby leads to a chic ground-floor shower room. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms with ample storage – one double and one twin. Outside, enjoy al fresco dining on the raised decking area, with outdoor furniture and lovely views across the surrounding mountains. Roadside parking is available directly outside.
Lace up your hiking boots to tackle Pen y Fan (17 miles) – the highest peak in South Wales – for breathtaking views and rewarding climbs or take a more leisurely approach to scenic mountain views with a trip on the Brecon Mountain Railway (16 miles). Discover plenty of local history and culture at Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and the Big Pit National Coal Museum, both less than 15 miles away.
