Private yet accessible, this charming period property is the perfect bolthole for family getaways in the Brecon Beacons.
Get away from it all with a stay in this rural Brecon Beacons bolthole. Situated at the end of a private track, surrounded by open countryside, it’s the perfect place to forget the stresses of everyday life and fully unwind. Stride out on foot along the beautiful canal towpath, or wander into the pretty village of Talybont-on-Usk (1.5 miles), followed by drinks in the peaceful garden and a soak in the gorgeous roll-top bath. The popular market town of Abergavenny is just 14 miles away.
The quirky cottage exudes style and charm, with fascinating chapel-style windows, quarry tiles and an original ornamental fireplace. Using tasty treats collected on your travels, rustle up a delicious meal in the fabulous kitchen/diner, which has shaker-style units and a Belfast sink. After dinner, retire to the elegant lounge, where you’ll find plush sofas to sink into and a crackling wood burner to create a cosy atmosphere. Both bedrooms have been tastefully decorated and benefit from wonderful countryside views. In summer, you’ll want to dine outside every night, as the vista from the garden is truly spectacular, looking out over open fields and woodlands to the mountains beyond.
The cottage is a fantastic base for outdoor enthusiasts and nature-lovers, with walking and cycling routes branching off in every direction. A gentle 1.5-mile stroll brings you to Talybont-on-Usk, where you can enjoy a hearty meal in one of the traditional village pubs and a potter around the arts and crafts shops. To get a different take on the Brecon Beacons, climb aboard the steam train of the Brecon Mountain Railway, 17 miles away in Pant. The route takes you high into the national park, along the edge of the stunning Taf Fechan Reservoir.
