Overview
Property code: BN016

Tucked away near the tranquil River Caerfanell, this delightful cottage offers the perfect escape for those seeking scenic walks, outdoor adventure, and total relaxation. Enjoy peaceful strolls along the picturesque canal towpath, or for those craving a challenge, explore the majestic peaks of the Brecon Beacons, including Pen y Fan (14 miles), Cribyn (13 miles), and Fan y Big (9 miles). Mountain bikers will love tackling the famous Taff Trail, which runs through the village and stretches all the way to Cardiff. If you prefer something more serene, marvel at the breath-taking waterfalls at Blaen-y-Glyn or visit the stunning Talybont Reservoir, a haven for migratory birds. After a day of adventure, refuel with supplies from the local village shop or treat yourself to a meal at one of the welcoming pubs nearby.

Step inside this charming and stylish cottage, a perfect bolthole for couples, families, and their four-legged friends. The open-plan living space welcomes you with a well-equipped galley kitchen featuring an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, and washing machine - everything you need for a comfortable stay. The cosy sitting area boasts wooden floors, a bay window with garden views, and a dining table for intimate meals. As the evening sets in, light the wood burner and settle in with a Smart TV, a selection of books, or classic board games—the perfect way to unwind. Upstairs, two charming bedrooms provide a peaceful retreat. The low double bedroom offers breath-taking views over the garden, river, and Allt Mountain, while the single bedroom looks out towards the beautiful canal. A downstairs bathroom with a shower over the bath ensures convenience after a long day exploring.

Step outside into the enchanting enclosed garden, a private oasis complete with a terrace, outdoor dining area, BBQ, and a lush lawn for your furry friend to enjoy. Flowerbeds add a splash of colour, creating the perfect setting for al fresco dining or a quiet morning coffee. With ample roadside parking nearby, this idyllic cottage is ready to welcome you for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway in the heart of the Brecon Beacons.

A cosy and peaceful cottage in a beautiful setting in Talybont-on-Usk. This cottage had everything we needed for a short break. We especially loved the log burner. The beds were very comfy too. Great location across the road from two pubs and close to the Mon and Brec canal. Also close to Brecon and Haye on Wye.

The cottage is dark downstairs and lights are needed even on a bright day. The photos show it as being light and airy. We would not have booked if we'd known this. It was clean and comfortable. The stairs could be a challenge. A good location in a lovely village with walks along by the canal from the door .

Lovely cottage in interesting village. Absence of instructions for room heaters and kitchen appliances. Comfortable beds. Cosy bathroom but toilet known not to flush properly so needing immediate attention

Lovely cottage with original features, well equipped, cosy, clean and central to the Beacons and local towns. Lovely walks along the canal towpath. Parking on the road across from the cottage wasn't an issue either. Would definitely book again.

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.
