Orchard Cottage

A Romantic Retreat in the Usk Valley

Tucked away in the peaceful grounds of a country house near Bwlch, Orchard Cottage is a beautifully renovated gardener’s cottage perfect for couples seeking a quiet escape in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

Blending original character with modern comforts, this one-bedroom hideaway features a king-size bed topped with a handmade patchwork quilt and an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. The cosy living room has exposed stone walls, wooden beams, and a wood burner – ideal for unwinding after a day in the hills.

The well-equipped kitchen includes an electric cooker and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and even Emma Bridgewater crockery for that extra country touch. There’s a separate utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer too.

Outside, guests can relax on the private terrace and enjoy far-reaching views across the Usk Valley. With walking trails on the doorstep and both Bwlch and Talybont-on-Usk nearby for supplies, cafés, and pubs, it’s a great base for exploring.

Whether you’re planning gentle canal-side strolls, wild swims, or pony trekking at Llangorse and Cantref, Orchard Cottage offers a peaceful and welcoming home-from-home in a beautiful setting.
