Cottage in Mid Wales

Holiday Rental Description

With a peaceful hamlet location, the house sits around 1 mile from the friendly village of Talybont on Usk which has a useful village shop and several pubs. The Taff Trail cycle route and the Henry Vaughan Trail both run along the valley behind the cottage, and the picturesque Talybont Reservoir and its dramatic dam are a mile away. Family friendly walks through woodland and alongside the pretty Blaen y Glyn waterfalls are 5 miles down the road. Don t miss a trip to the Brecon Mountain Railway a scenic 10 mile drive over the mountains, especially if you have young train enthusiasts in the family. The traditional cottage has a rich history going back 200 years; it s still owned by descendants of the original residents. The cosy beamed living area has a dining table for six, and plenty of sofa space for the whole family to snuggle up in front of the open fire. Turn on the TV or take advantage of the selection of books and games. Leading from the lounge is the kitchen, fully equipped with everything a family needs, including that all important washing machine and tumble dryer, plus a dishwasher. A downstairs cloakroom with a WC and sink is a useful addition. Head up the very steep original stone stairs to the three bedrooms on the first floor. The king size, twin and bunk bedroom, should accommodate most family groups. Also, on the first floor is the family bathroom, with a shower over the bath. Outside, the mature garden is bordered by beautiful original dry stone walls and surrounded by wild countryside. Enjoy your morning coffee at the table in the sunshine, as the wildlife wakes up around you, or sit back at the end of a busy day with a drink as the sun goes down.
