Overview
Property code: OC-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.

This is a lovely characterful, comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a stunning location with walks from the door, and the village store with cafe and Post Office is a real plus. There's a very comfortable double bed and easy on-street parking. Peaceful setting with the sound of the river to lull one to sleep.

A lovely little cottage, we understand the owner has just purchased the property. So be prepared for a few little gremlins. Parking is a bit of a issue. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

What a fantastic location, lots of doorstep walks and amazing scenery . Cottage is comfortable and clean with everything you could need to hand. 2 minute walk to the shop and small cafe which serves lovely fresh food (including cakes gluten and dairy free!)

A really cute, little cottage and we had a lovely stay. One bed in particular was really comfy and we enjoyed using the fire. The stream nearby was beautiful and the cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable for a few days. Very responsive and helpful owners too.

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.
