Situated in the serene hamlet of Aber Village, Talybont-on-Usk, Glamorgan, this traditional stone cottage offers a charming retreat for up to four guests. Its prime location allows easy access to the stunning attractions of the Brecon Beacons, with the picturesque village of Talybont-on-Usk just a mile away, featuring local stores, pubs, and eateries. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy leisurely strolls around the tranquil Talybont Reservoir, located only 500 meters from the cottage, where the soothing sounds of bird song enhance the experience. For those seeking adventure, kayaking on the river or exploring the cascading Blaen y Glyn waterfalls, situated five miles away, are excellent options, while a nostalgic steam train ride at the Brecon Mountain Railway, 10 miles distant, offers a unique way to appreciate the beautiful countryside.
The vibrant cathedral town of Brecon is a must-visit, boasting quaint streets filled with independent shops, while the renowned literary town of Hay on Wye, located 20 miles away, invites visitors to peruse its numerous bookstores and enjoy riverside walks. For hiking enthusiasts, the Brecon Beacons provide an array of trails, including the challenge of ascending Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, which is just 15 miles from the cottage. Upon arrival, guests can park their car on the lane and enter the traditional whitewashed cottage through a wooden front door, stepping into a spacious hallway adorned with original flagstone flooring, where a cloakroom with a WC is conveniently located.
The cottage features a bright and airy country-style kitchen, fully equipped for meal preparation, including an electric cooker with a double oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and a small freezer. A traditional Welsh dresser stores crockery, and the adjoining sunny conservatory provides a delightful space for dining, with views of the Tor y Foel mountain. This conservatory also includes a cozy sofa, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. In the evenings, guests can retreat to the inviting living room, where they can enjoy a film on the DVD player or relax by the fire in the charming Victorian fireplace, all while savoring a glass of wine and listening to music on the CD player.
Ascending the steep cottage-style stairs to the first floor, guests will find a restful master bedroom, decorated in soothing neutral tones and furnished with a double bed dressed in crisp linens. This room offers lovely views of the gardens and the option to watch TV from bed. The second bedroom features two cozy twin beds, ideal for family or friends. The bathroom provides a serene spot to soak in the bath while enjoying views of the garden. Outside, the cottage boasts a pleasant garden area where guests can enjoy al fresco meals at the garden table, taking in the sights of grazing sheep and distant mountains, or fire up the BBQ for a memorable evening under the stars.
