  • Canalside 19th century cottage in a convenient central village location
  • Great for small family getaways in the Brecon Beacons
  • Within easy reach of natural waterways and scenic walks
Property code: OC-BN210

This cottage was built in the 1800s to sit opposite a then newly built canal. Popular village pubs line the banks starting under 100 metres away; take your pick from The Star and The White Hart to quench your thirst after a long walk, or book a hearty meal at The Travellers Rest. Further afield, embark on walks all the way up to the Brecon Beacons or discover the spectacular waterfall views of Lower Blaen y Glyn.

 

This stone cottage oozes character, with its exposed brick features and brightly yet sensitively coloured decor. A pleasant galley kitchen has all you need to cook a favourite family meal. Then, relax in a rustic dining room with its charming stone mantle, oak beams and original flag floors. A generously sized sitting room emanates cosiness, with its exposed stone fireplace housing a wood burner for warming up in the cooler evenings. Upstairs, three plush bedrooms over two floors await after a long day of exploring. A cosy single and double bedroom each occupy the first floor, along with the nautical family bathroom with shower over the bath and WC, plus a separate WC. A master double room on the top level has sloping ceilings and simply unbeatable views over the canal and the valleys.

 

Outside, sit and sip a glass of wine in the enclosed garden while pets and children can safely play. Handy mountain bike storage is situated in the garden, and ample roadside parking is next to the property.

!SELECTED!The c!ENDOFSELECTED!ottage is In a great location for a walking holiday. With the canal opposite the boats drift by as you hang your washing out in the sweet garden, which was also great for our dog to mooch around. The neighbours and locals are very friendly. The cottage was nice and warm and the beds comfortable. In the village are two Read morepubs on the canal serving good food. The cafe/local shop was also great. We had a wonderful time helped by the fantastic weather. Hide

Great cottage for walks just opposite the canal, perfect for watching the narrowboats each day. Garden fully encl for our 2 dogs which was reassuring, and they appreciated the extra touches like dog treats etc! Be mindful the nice neighbours have a very friendly cat if your dog is off lead in the garden. Very well equipped kitchen for self cateringRead more with high quality utensils. There are 2 low beams entering the master b/room (not shown on photos), so for tall people choose the other bedroom! Hide

Lots of space for the two of us and Martha our Airedale. She always uses a crate at night time which is quite large but it was easy to accommodate it in the dining room. We absolutely loved the cottage and the location, our airedale terrier loved the garden and enjoyed chatting to the neighbours who always spoke to her, so friendly. We will definitRead moreely visit again next year. Hide

Loved this cottage. It was very cosy and the dogs loved the garden. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and there are many walks and places to explore. Both of the Pubs serve tasty meals and were very welcoming.
