Kiwi Cottage, Talybont-on-Usk, Near Brecon.
Kiwi Cottage is a 200 year old stone cottage located right in the centre of the popular canalside village of Talybont-on-Usk, in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is so called because there is a Kiwi Fruit (male and female plants!) climbing the side wall.
The accommodation is over three levels and sleeps up to 5 people, in three bedrooms, two of which have double beds and one a single.
The Master bedroom is on the second floor and enjoys superb views in two directions, looking across to the Brecon and Monmouth Canal one way and Allt yr Esgair the other.
The other double and the single bedroom are on the first floor, with views out across the canal and beyond. On this floor also is a modern family bathroom with bath, electric shower (over bath), wash hand basin and wc, and a second washroom with wc and basin.
Please note that Kiwi is quite an old cottage and the stairs up to the first and second floors are therefore quite steep.
Downstairs, there is a fully-equipped kitchen, separate dining room and lounge.
The spacious, well equipped, kitchen has an electric cooker & hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, separate freezer and toaster, with plenty of storage space and a hatch through to the dining room. The dining room has the original flagstone floor and oak beams, with dining table and chairs.
The cosy lounge has a log burner, sofa and chairs, Smart TV with radio and a Bluetooth speaker to play music/radio from your own devices.
The property has a free Wifi connection, full oil-fired central heating and bedding/towels are also provided. There are no specific car parking spaces for the cottage, but parking is available outside on the road through the village, or off-street within 200 metres.
Kiwi Cottage is non-smoking inside, although outside is fine.
There is a good-sized private and secure garden with a pleasant, sunny aspect, a table and chairs.
Well behaved dogs are most welcome (an additional charge applies, see Pricing link).
Talybont is fortunate in having a general store, Post Office, café and bike hire, all available at Talybont Stores. Both the Star and White Hart pubs are within three minutes’ walk, whilst the Travellers' restaurant is nearby too.
Further afield, there is good local shopping in both Brecon and Crickhowell and supermarkets in Brecon, Abergavenny and Merthyr.
There is a wealth of walking and cycling options straight from the front door, along the canal, up the Brinore Tramway to Talybont Forest and Reservoir and onto the open hills of the Brecon Beacons beyond. For those preferring something less energetic, there are short walks to suit all and splendid scenery to enjoy throughout the area, making this an excellent base from which to explore the Brecon Beacons National Park and beyond.
