Set in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this stylish lodge is one of four on a traditional working farm, perfect for groups wanting to immerse themselves in the countryside. The picturesque village of Talybont-on-Usk is just 0.5 miles away, offering local stores, pubs, and eateries.

This property is an excellent base for exploring the vibrant market towns of Crickhowell, Brecon, and Hay-on-Wye, blending rural tranquillity with local culture.

Step inside from the valley view to discover a beautifully finished, open-plan living space. A wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere for you to relax and unwind after a day of adventures. The bespoke kitchen area is ready for you to cook up a feast, complete with everything needed for a self-catered break. The lodge features three bedrooms: a generous double with an en-suite bathroom, a twin room with valley views, and a king-size mezzanine bedroom accessed from the lounge. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the interior. Outside, the garden has sympathetically landscaped grounds, a hot tub perfect for stargazing in the dark skies, a BBQ, and a table with chairs for al fresco dining. There is off-road parking for three cars.

There is plenty to explore in the local area. The tranquil Talybont Reservoir offers gentle strolls, while the Blaen-y-Glyn waterfalls are just 7.5 miles away. For a different kind of water-based adventure, you can try kayaking on the river at Talybont-on-Usk. A nostalgic steam train ride awaits at the Brecon Mountain Railway (10 miles), taking you through the stunning countryside.

Absolutely perfect. Fantastic location (if you drive) Very quiet and beautiful. The lodge its self is gorgeous. The owner really has made it stunning. We visited in the summer but looking forward to going back to see it in winter. Everything is top notch. You won't be disappointed

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, the views up the valley towards Brecon are lovely. The cottage is very well equipped. Accessible for low mobility but not wheelchair friendly. Our only gripe is the property advert says hot tub, its not its a lazy spa. Two very different products and they need better maintenance. You pay a premium for a hot tRead moreub and to only get a lazy spa was disappointing. The host is lovely and nothing is too much trouble. We will be back. Thank you. Hide
