Built into the side of a hill on the banks of a picturesque canal, an array of exciting trails lie on the doorstep while the pretty village of Talybont-on-Usk is just 0.25 miles away. Carefully finished, the reverse-level accommodation boasts many rustic details, while outside two terraces offer breathtaking views and lead down to a private stretch of canal bank.
