Talworth is a well-received cottage in Brecon, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, cosy wood burner, and comfortable beds. The property is described as charming and welcoming, with thoughtful touches like a welcome pack and local recommendations enhancing the experience.
The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with numerous guests highlighting its immaculate condition. One mention of mould in the shower cubicle suggests a minor issue, but overall, the high standard of cleanliness is evident.
The location is highly praised for its convenience for local walks, proximity to the Brecon Beacons, and a nearby pub. It serves as an excellent base for exploring the area, with guests appreciating the central location and scenic surroundings.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the beds particularly comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the wood burner. However, there are a few comments about the lounge furniture needing replacement and the heating being hit & miss, which slightly affects the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample wood for the burner. Some feedback suggests the need for maintenance, such as treatment for woodlice and updates to the shower cubicle, which slightly lowers the score.
The owner's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcome pack, fresh flowers, and local tips. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
Tucked away in the beautiful village of Bwlch in Powys, between Crickhowell and Brecon, rests this charming, stone-fronted cottage, Talworth. Benefiting from an atmospheric pub from the foot of the door and historic attractions nearby, this delightful abode is ideal for two couples or a family seeking a rural retreat. Conveniently, park up on a sought-after off-road parking spot, where you can move your luggage inside with ease! Be greeted by the rustic living/dining room, brimming with character with its beamed ceilings and alluring woodburning stove to keep you toasty on chillier nights. Unwind on the leather suite with a compelling book or flicker through the TV to catch-up on your favourite shows. Enjoy meals together around the dining table for four to chat about the highlights of the holiday and uncork a bottle of wine to toast to a splendid getaway. Moving through the property, find the fully equipped kitchen where the designated chef can rustle up tasty dishes for the group and there is a washing machine and dishwasher to assist with the cleaning. After an adventurous day exploring Powys, a ground-floor shower room offers a walk-in shower to relish a rinse and a heated towel rail to keep your towel toasty. Make use of the lovely rear garden to soak in the quaint village and bask in the sun on warm days. As the sky grows dark, retire upstairs to choose between a super-king-size with hanging space and a delightful double bedroom. In the morning, utilise the fantastic facilities to conjure a home-cooked breakfast to fuel your excursions for the day. The lovely village of Bwlch is perfect for lovers of the outdoors with horse-riding, cycling and hiking to ramble around the splendour of nature. Embark on an adventure to the dramatic landscape of Brecon Beacons National Park for spectacular views of mountains and open greenery, with the chance to see a range of wildlife. Settled within the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) is the peaceful Grwyne Fawr Reservoir, idyllic for a romantic stroll amid wonderful scenery. A short drive will lead you to the picturesque town of Abergavenny, renowned as one of the best places to visit in the UK, with its majestic museum set in a ruined castle, a plethora of quirky shops dotted around and a variety of eateries to sample. For long-lasting memories, choose a stay at Talworth.
The small village of Bwlch, which means 'pass' in Welsh, is located in Powys, Southern Wales, surrounded by beautiful nature.
