A Superb Size Cottage By The Canal

Ty Coch, Gwent

Ty Coch is an appealing stone-built cottage located in Gwent, Wales, specifically on the serene banks of the Mon and Brecon Canal. This peaceful retreat is ideal for families and their pets, accommodating up to six guests across two spacious bedrooms. The cottage has been thoughtfully refurbished to blend traditional Welsh character with modern comforts, featuring a large lounge/diner, a breakfast room, and a fully equipped kitchen. Its tranquil environment makes it a perfect getaway for those seeking relaxation amidst nature.

Rich in history, the cottage is situated next to the home of John Fielding, a notable figure celebrated for his valor during the Battle of Rorke's Drift. Fielding, one of the 149 British troops who fought against a much larger force of Zulu warriors, was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery. This historical connection adds a unique charm to the cottage, inviting guests to reflect on the past while enjoying the present. Additionally, the cottage is conveniently located along the famous 'In the Steps of the Pilgrims' circular walk, an approximately 7.5-hour journey that showcases significant historical sites in the area.

Ty Coch offers easy access to a variety of shops, eateries, and restaurants, all within walking distance or a short drive away. The surrounding Welsh hills provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities, making it an excellent choice for families with pets. However, guests are kindly asked to keep pets off the furniture and out of the bedrooms to maintain the cottage’s pristine condition. The property also ensures guests have full access to all amenities, with hosts readily available for assistance when needed.

Set in a quiet lane away from the main road, Ty Coch boasts a cozy atmosphere with exposed stone walls that enhance its traditional feel. Parking is available on the road, and as a mid-terrace cottage, guests are reminded to respect the privacy of their neighbors by refraining from hosting parties or playing loud music. The cottage’s location in Llantarnam, near Cwmbran, allows visitors to explore local attractions such as Friars Walk Newport and Brecon Beacons National Park, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and adventure.
