Cottage to rent in Bwlch, Powys

Accommodation details

Located on an estate in the charming village of Talybont, this idyllic retreat for two offers plenty of rural character with glorious views across the Usk Valley, perfect for unwinding in front of the wood burner after a day of walking, hiking, and biking in the surrounding mountains and woodlands. The exposed stone and beams pay homage to the cottage's heritage, while neutral walls and wooden fittings create an elegant interior.

The well-equipped kitchen has a country cottage feel with a splash of colour, and a separate utility room adds practicality to the home. A few steps lead to the lounge, where you can curl up on the cushy sofa and watch a film in front of the wood burner. Upstairs, discover the spacious bedroom, complete with a king-size bed covered with a handmade patchwork quilt and offering beautiful views across the Usk Valley.

The en-suite bathroom has a shower over the bath, and a granary door opens to a terrace and garden, the perfect spot to soak up the sun with a BBQ on a warm summer day. Enjoy the convenience of being close to four pubs, a shop, and a coffee shop, all within 2 miles. For outdoor enthusiasts, Llangorse Activity Centre (4.5 miles) offers climbing walls, and Cantref Adventure Farm (7.5 miles) provides pony trekking.

You can also hire a kayak and paddle along the Brecon and Monmouth Canal or take a scenic walk along the River Wye and the River Usk. The Henry Vaughan Walk along The Brinoyre Tram Road meanders through the picturesque and historic Talybont Valley, and there are numerous footpaths leading up to the Brecon Beacons.

The nearby towns of Crickhowell (7.5 miles) and Abergavenny (13 miles) are perfect for day trips, offering pubs, restaurants, and independent shops to explore.
