From the owner

A comfortable converted barn in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Pentwyn is peacefully situated in an elevated position overlooking the small canal side village of Pencelli. The cottage is a sympathetically restored barn, preserving the original feature stone walls and beamed ceilings. It offers visitors modern comforts and convenient accommodation. Splendid views can be enjoyed from the cottage door up to the foothills of the Brecon Beacons or across the beautiful Usk Valley and over the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal to the mountains beyond. Set in the privacy of its own grounds, Pentwyn Cottage is less than five minutes walk to Pencelli village, the canal, local buses and village pub with its excellent home-cooked food and real ales.

Our 20 acre small holding is a haven for wildlife and birds. Buzzards are regular visitors and can be seen from the kitchen window feeding in the adjacent field, fox and badger paths crisscross the land. Public footpaths cross the fields adjacent to the cottage and give access to the Brecon Beacons by way of the Usk Valley Walk, or to more leisurely walks along the canal towpath and the Taff Trail.

Accommodation

Kitchen
The large kitchen, with windows on three sides giving sunshine all day, is furnished with fitted oak cupboards and a substantial antique farmhouse table and chairs. The kitchen is generously equipped with electric cooker, gas hob, fridge, freezer, microwave and washing machine.

Lounge
This cosy sitting room with a living flame coal effect gas fire, has comfortable sofas and chairs and a good quality sofa bed. For entertainment there is a TV, DVD, video, CD radio, Wi-Fi, books and games. Off the adjacent entrance hall there is a downstairs cloakroom with hand basin and toilet.

Bedroom 1
A spacious, light and airy double bedroom boasts a Victorian brass bed and can accommodate a cot if required.

Bedroom 2
A charming twin bedded room with beamed ceiling .

Bathroom
With the natural simplicity of clean tiles and hand made oak fitted cupboards the bathroom comprises a bath with shower, hand basin and toilet.

Garden

Guests can enjoy a private lawned garden to the front of the cottage, which has beautiful views and a children's swing. Sheltered under an oak framed canopy there is a seating area with a wooden table and benches, providing a splendid place to relax and watch the evening sun setting over Brecon town. We are happy to accommodate dogs, but ask owners to consider farm animals in the fields around the property. There is ample level parking adjacent to the cottage making loading and unloading very easy. For cyclists we can provide a bike washing area and secure undercover storage. For riders wishing to bring their own horses we can also provide grazing and stabling.

Pentwyn Cottage Local Area
