Cosy Canal-Side Studio at Ty Newydd Holidays

Captain’s Lookout is a charming first-floor studio apartment set within the historic granary of a 1750s Welsh farmhouse at Ty Newydd Holidays, just four miles south of Brecon. Overlooking the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal and a traditional canal boat marina, this peaceful spot offers sweeping views across the Usk Valley and is perfect for a romantic escape or short break in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

Designed for two, the studio includes a king-size bed, a well-equipped kitchenette with breakfast bar, and a compact seating area. The interiors blend contemporary style with original features, including partial vaulted ceilings and a clever mezzanine level with a sofa and Smart TV, accessed via space-saving stairs.

The modern shower room features a double-sized shower, basin, and toilet, while built-in storage keeps things tidy. Though there’s no private outdoor space, guests are welcome to sit and enjoy the canal view from the bench above nearby Marina View.

Allocated parking is included, with secure bike storage and on-site EV charging (usage charges apply). With great access to walking and cycling routes, local pubs, and independent shops, Captain’s Lookout offers a cosy, well-located base to explore the best of Mid Wales.
