Lower Lock Cottage - Due Camere da Letto Casa, Ospiti Massimo 4

Discover a more tranquil pace of life in this whitewashed rural retreat by the banks of the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal, surrounded by glorious views. Sleeping four guests, it is perfect for a family or friends planning to explore the unspoiled landscape of mountains and countryside. The cottage is just 0.5 miles from the pretty village of Llangynidr in the valley of the River Usk, which has a shop, a selection of eateries − including a welcoming canal-side country pub − and a fine, 17th-century stone bridge. The small market town of Crickhowell (5 miles) is known for its excellent independent shops and local produce. Visit the Information Centre here for guides to mountain and riverside paths, or hire narrowboats, canoes and even a cycle boat at nearby Llangattock Wharf for a peaceful trip down the canal. For history buffs, the magnificent medieval Tretower Court and Castle (3.5 miles) is a must-see.
Open the impressive, wooden front door leading directly into the light and spacious lounge/diner to find an array of beautiful period features. The room boasts large sash windows, a wealth of original beams and exposed stonework, including a remarkable feature section of old stone stairs. Comfortable sofas and easy chairs sit before a large wood burner inside the splendid chimney breast, and there's an elegant wooden dining table for holiday mealtimes. Next door, the cosy snug houses a Smart TV and a sumptuous L-shaped sofa, plus an armchair. The bright, well-fitted kitchen has a country-style breakfast table for you to enjoy your morning coffee around. A staircase heads up to a family bathroom, with a shower over the bath and two appealing bedrooms, each dressed in soft shades and with wonderful views. The king-size features a delightful vintage dressing table and stool, while the zip-and-link super-king-size (can be made into a twin on request at time of booking) has a pretty velvet chair.
Outside, the whitewashed, private patio houses outdoor furniture, ideal for al fresco dining and stargazing on clear nights in this area of low light pollution. There is private parking for two cars.
