Property code: 42849

Set aside your daily stresses and embark on a holiday to the Brecon Beacons, choosing this attractive property on the outskirts of Crickhowell as your base. Sleeping up to four guests and laid out in a reverse-level style, your accommodation is well suited to families keen to explore on foot or by bike. Hillwalking, fishing and cycling opportunities are available in abundance, best enjoyed after a peaceful breakfast in your private garden. The owners have even provided a welcome crate of goodies and homemade cake for your stay. Enter to discover two comfortable bedrooms on the ground floor, each crisply dressed for a restful night’s sleep and sharing a bathroom. Upstairs, the open-plan living space is contemporary yet cosy with a roaring wood burner and bright decor. Artistic details and stylish furniture create a relaxing atmosphere in the lounge area that features a TV, books, and sofas for leisurely evenings. The chic kitchen has everything you need to prepare a feast, and there’s a handy dining table for mealtimes and board games. On warm evenings, the rear garden is a treat for BBQ suppers, and you’ll be able to access the canal from the front of the property. Stroll along the beautiful Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, browse the shops or sample delicious local fare in a friendly restaurant. Crickhowell is a popular destination for budding historians thanks to the castle remnants, but the winding River Usk nearby will appeal to fishermen. For younger guests, Abergavenny 7 miles away boasts a soft play centre, indoor climbing wall and a museum, but the whole family will adore the annual food festival and array of eateries. There’s also a museum set within the ruins of a Norman Castle, a fascinating place to visit whatever the weather.

Canal Boat Cottage, is set in a stunning location. Its a fairly steep climb to drive up so being confident in your driving helps. The cottage is beautifully presented and decorated and was an introduction to upside down living. The views are stunning and so having the living space upstairs was perfect. The owners had thought of everything, we were Read moreeven greeted with homemade Banana Bread and a bottle of apple juice. I love wild swimming, Keepers Pond is 20 minutes into the mountain and glorious. Hide

A lovely cottage in a great location, for walks from the door and only a short walk from Crickhowell and its facilities. The view over the valley is stunning and watching the narrow boats in the canal moor up below the cottage was interesting. The cottage has all you need for a comfortable stay in a home away from home. The garden was secure for ouRead morer two spaniels who loved the walks on the tow path and lanes straight from the door. We would stay here again if in the area. Hide

Lovely quiet location next to the Monmouth Canal. Dog friendly. It rained nearly all week, so we had a much-needed lazy rest. Steep stairs which wouldnt be suitable for very young children and people with mobility issues. Recommended and would visit again.
