  • Charming two-bedroom stone cottage in a peaceful hamlet
  • Ideal location for walkers and cyclists
  • Relax in the conservatory with a good book
Property code: OC-BN249

Close to the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, pack your bags, grab the leads and escape to the land of peaks, panoramic views and pup-friendly pubs. With waterfalls, reservoirs and rivers to explore, this abode is perfect for those with a love of the great outdoors and making a splash. After days spent exploring, curl up and unwind in front of the roaring open fire.

Dump muddy boots and leads in the welcoming hallway, with its flagstone floor, before collapsing into the comfortable sofa and armchair in the inviting lounge. Throw a log on the open fire and snooze to your heart’s content, waking only to tickle furry tummies and dish out tasty titbits. When you’re feeling rested and rejuvenated, step into the light country-style kitchen to pop the kettle on and take a mug of something warm into the fabulous conservatory which also houses the dining table. Boasting terrific views, sink into the sofa and open the patio doors so your canine chums can leap outside and hunt out new scents. Not only is the outside space brilliant for chasing tails, it’s also the perfect spot for a sundowner evening. Fire up the BBQ and treat all members of the family to a sizzling feast before climbing steep stairs to rest your heads in one of two bedrooms on the first floor.

Rise, shine and grab the lead. Walk 500m to Talybont Reservoir for a waterside walk, 5 miles to Blaen-y-Glyn waterfalls or 1 mile to Talybont-on-Usk. Wander the pretty streets at Talybont-on-Usk and sit down at a dog-friendly eatery to refuel. A 15-mile trip further into the National Park will take you Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, where those with two and four legs can enjoy breathtaking views and a peak-top picnic.

The cottage had a really lovely homely feel. When in the cottage spent time relaxing and playing games in the conservatory, with its stunning view. Rescue dogs were very happy and we enjoyed mountain walks in the phenomenal Brecon Beacons. Would love to have a repeat stay.

We have visited this cottage for many years, since 2008. It is most noticeable that the interior is becoming unloved and cared for. The appliances are old and unreliable. Their are many technical faults including broken electrical sockets, and no external communication in the event of an accident or emergency. The TV aerial is poorly positioned andRead more on many days we had no signal. Overall this cottage should only have a 2 star recommendation. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at Nant y Mynedd. It is a very special cottage. The view from the garden and the conservatory is stunning. It is well equipped and the beds are comfy. The location is quiet and peaceful. There are plenty of walks in the area from mountains to canal towpaths. Brecon is an interesting little town nearby. There are 2 pubs seRead morerving good food in Talybont on Usk (a very pleasant short walk away) and a wonderful cafe serving the best curries! We didnt want to leave. Hide

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage, the kitchen was fully equipped if you plan on eating at home (we ate out for lunch and dinner) so unfortunately didnt make the most of it. The living areas are very comfortable to sit and relax with beautiful views out of the rear windows. The cottage is in a quiet little village but a perfect locatioRead moren for exploring the national park. Despite not having any phone/internet signal, we loved the break away from technology. Highly recommend - thank you. Hide

Great traditional cottage in a quiet location, ideal for the beacons. Edge of the village meant there was no phone signal or internet access at the property.
