A charming 17th-century stone cottage in a tranquil location, perfect for couples or families looking to really escape the hustle and bustle and get back to nature.
Escape with a pair of pups to this fairy-tale holiday cottage in enchanting, leafy woodland near Aber village, 1 mile from Talybont-on-Usk, in the Brecon Beacons. Stroll out through the trees with your contented canines at your heel and let them sniff about and splash in the stream that runs through the cottage's garden. Sleeping four guests, as well as two dogs, this delightful, two-bedroom, stone abode, which dates back to the 1800s, is ideal for people and pets seeking nothing more than tranquillity and proximity to nature.
Step into this magical property to find yourselves in its welcoming farmhouse kitchen. Make a cup of tea and top your dog’s bowl of water up here before moving on through to sit with them in the conservatory for a while, simply soaking up the scenery through the picture window. Serve dinner for everyone else in the kitchen or the lounge/diner, while Rover reclines by the wood burner. Watch TV in here on one of the comfy sofas. The bathroom is also on the ground floor. Follow steep, cottage-style stone steps up to a double bedroom, with extra single bed. A room with the same arrangement of beds is can also be found on the first floor, via a separate, steep stone spiral staircase. Take your pup out into the woodland garden as often as possible to make the most of your lovely surroundings. Light the BBQ and dine out here on warm days while he pads about. There’s parking for one car at the cottage, with more space close by.
Pack a picnic and walk into Talybont-on-Usk, where you can stroll along beside the river or take a 3.5-mile walk to the reservoir along the route of a 19th-century tramway, taking in magnificent views. Embark upon the 2.5-mile Henry Vaughan Walk through the Talybont Valley or find routes through the forest.
Please note that due to the unguarded stream running though the garden all children will require adult supervision at all times.
