The picturesque village of Talybont-on-Usk is just 1 mile from the property with all the amenities you’ll need for your stay.

Stay in this pretty, whitewashed cottage which has original features throughout such as a flagstone floor and a pretty Victorian fireplace. The country-style kitchen is bright and airy with everything you’ll need for a great self-catering stay. After cooking up a storm, settle down in the spacious conservatory and eat around the dining table while admiring the views. Up the steep cottage-style stairs, the bathroom also has delightful views out across the garden and beyond, so you can soak away in the bath while spotting wildlife. The garden itself has a table and chairs as well as a BBQ, perfect for all the family to dine alfresco.

Beautiful cottage set in the Beacons. Its in a fantastic location close to walking trails and waterfalls. The views from the property are spectacular and the conservatory was by far our favourite room in the house.

The cottage was so homely and comfortable. The conservatory was a bonus, especially when the weather was not so good. I would never tire of the views, especially when in the bath! I actually couldn't fault it at all. The only thing missing was an internet connection so we could have planned our daily trips.

Delightful cottage. Very well equipped. Beds Very very comfortable. Linen very nice,bedroom curtains good quality. Garden was perfect for the dog,though the wall is low if your dog jumps We loved it there and would definitely return Showering could be challenging if you're unfit,as you have to hold it whilst in the bath.

This is a characterful historic feeling little cottage. Not all mod cons but all the essential things you need. It has a beautiful garden which is a pleasure to sit in. The views from it are gorgeous. Its location is quiet but convenient for seeing the Beacons and the Monmouth and Brecon canal. You can walk and cycle from the door.

A cozy cottage with beautiful views from the conservatory, which we used most of the time as it had a dining table and comfy sofa. The garden was great for the dogs, as was the large entrance hall with flagstone flooring which was ideal for them. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, with a large quantity of mugs, plates, bowls and cutleryRead more, something a lot of holiday cottages lack. We had a lovely welcome pack too. We enjoyed our week and would definitely stay at the cottage again. Hide

Lovely homely cottage on a quiet country lane, with just the sheep for company. Only a few steps from a phone box (just in case contact is needed!) Ideal for nature lovers and those wanting a complete break from technology.

A very lovely cottage. Beautiful location with wonderful views of the sheep and lambs in the field behind.

Be warned that there is no shower - only a bath. If you are fine with this, then it is a lovely property in a wonderful location. Loads of walks on your doorstep with varied views from rolling hills to epic mountains and waterfalls. The broader area is suitable for both a relaxing retreat or an adventurous holiday.

This is a lovely cottage in a simply gorgeous location. There are so many walks nearby, to reservoir, hills, woods, mountains, river, canal - and 1 mile each way to the cafe and the pubs - we barely used the car. The conservatory is a lovely daytime sitting room when it rains and the view is fantastic. A couple of the blinds were broken and the othRead moreer sitting room couldn't be aired but those were very minor criticisms. Others may want to note the later arrival time (not before 6pm). Hide
