Property code: BN016

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.

Located close to the River Caerfanell, grab the lead and pull-on walking boots to enjoy peaceful strolls along the canal bank towpath. A stylish bolthole, this delightful cottage is perfect for couples, families and four-legged friends too. Getting the best of both worlds, you can enjoy the bustle of village life but escape with ease to the surrounding countryside and further afield into the spectacular Brecon Beacons National Park. Beautifully furnished with everything you could need, the owners have thought of everything so you dont have to!

 

Entered via a couple of steps, the cream walls and neutral tones of the furnishings make this compact and charming property spacious and bright. The galley kitchen has a door to the rear garden so as you cook a delicious meal, your canine chum can potter in and out. The cosy sitting area with its wooden floors has a dining table and bay window with seats looking out onto the garden. Sit back and relax on the sofa and pop a film on the smart TV,  as your pup curls up in front of the wood burner. Up a set of steep cottage-style stairs, the bedrooms lend a boutique feel to your stay; wake up surrounded by soft, pretty decor and take in the morning with a coffee in the enclosed garden. Fire up a BBQ in the evening, or take a stroll to the local dog-friendly pub.

 

Tackle challenging walks up Pen y Fan (14 miles), Cribyn (13 miles) and Fan y Big (9 miles). Mountain bikers should take on the famous Taff Trail, which passes through the village and stretches all the way to Cardiff in the south. For something a little more serene, discover the spectacular waterfalls at Blaen-y-Glyn (5 miles) and the large, picturesque reservoir at Talybont (2.5 miles) is often teeming with migratory birds. After a busy day, sample local delights in one of the two village pubs.

Lovely, comfortable and peaceful stay, plenty of parking and the cafe down the road did a great breakfast. As we stated in the winter a lot of shops and attractions were closed across the National Park. However, we were treated to some spectacular scenery as it snowed the whole time we stayed. The cottage was exactly as it was described and perfectRead more for our needs. Hide
