This former Cider House, built in the 1600’s, is now a charming cottage which has maintained many of the original features and characteristics while also offering a comfortable and relaxing place for friends and families to gather. The oak-beamed lounge with its roaring wood burner will be most welcome after a day out walking. The dresser contains a selection of puzzles and board games so you can challenge fellow guests to a game as you settle down for the evening. The second smaller lounge with electric fire has a TV and armchairs for you to curl up in and find a moment of peace. Head through to the well-equipped classic 1950's kitchen with electric cooker and the adjoining breakfast room has a large wooden table to seat all guests together. A downstairs WC and cloakroom is the final room on the ground floor before you head upstairs in search of the bedrooms.

Traditional cottage in the heart of Talgarth with walks into the hills from the door step and local shops nearby. Basic facilities but very cosy and perfect for winter walking break. Appreciated deep hot bath after walks and the additional heaters, electric blankets etc that made it feel homely. We all slept really well and plan on booking again.

A lovely cosy cottage full of charm and everything you could need. Great location for walks in the Brecon Beacons and we really appreciated all the wood for games around the wood burner in the evening! Would definitely return!

We had a lovely stay, cosy comfortable cottage which is like a Tardis as much bigger than expected. Whilst old fashioned it added to the character. Beautiful garden well kept and in full bloom, plenty of outdoor seating, with separate lawned area across the road for playing with dog. Great location a few minutes walk from Talgarth centre, which hasRead more an excellent ice cream shop that also sells ice cream for dogs. Brecon and Hay on Wye close by, as well as plenty of outdoor places to explore. Hide
