About this property

Caersws 1.8 miles. Resting in Pontdolgoch near Caersws, Powys is this romantic, single-storey cottage, The Talkhouse Cottage. With open-plan living, rural surroundings and a bedroom with en-suite, this is a wonderful, pet-friendly cottage for two guests to explore Mid Wales. Off-road parking is available in front of the characterful, stone-walled converted stable with a gorgeous oak porchway beckoning you inside. The open-plan living space has been lovingly decorated with farmhouse furnishings and charming décor; the spacious, well-equipped kitchen area is a foodie's dream with a gas range cooker to rustle up home-cooked meals. Set the table for a candle-lit dinner for two before snuggling up on the sofa by the warmth of the gas fire, with a TV and DVD player for evening entertainment. You'll find a pretty king-size bedroom with vaulted ceilings and ample storage space to make yourself at home; turn on the TV for lazy mornings catching your favourite shows, before getting ready in the stylish en-suite. Sink into the bubbles in the roll-top bath, complete with a shower over and heated towel rail for added comfort. The front garden is a peaceful little sanctuary to enjoy the sunshine from the outdoor seating and plan the day's adventures; head into the nearby village of Caersws to stock up at the local butcher, delicatessen specialising in Welsh produce, or dine at one of three traditional pubs. Further afield lies Newton, a larger market town with parks, museums and the nearby Pwll Penarth Nature Reserve; pack a picnic for a scenic walk up to the ruins of the 13th-century Dolforwyn Castle! Surrounding The Talkhouse Cottage are a range of footpaths and nature reserves, including the unspoilt Llyn Mawr; further afield lies the spectacular Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and the Shropshire Hills AONB.

    We went here for our minimoon and it was perfect. Great place for a dog too as our little one could take himself off out into the courtyard area to enjoy some sun without the worry that he might be able to get out. Wonderful little additions too in the form of a welcome pack but also a congratulations card for our wedding. Lovely owners who we bumped into and they introduced themselves but weren't intrusive at all. Excellently maintained cottage.

    Perfect and tranquil even though next to the A470 the traffic wasn’t a problem. The cottage was immaculate and extremely well presented. All in all Lola (border/bearded collie) and myself had a very chilling time. Communication with the owners was amazing and not that I had any issues knew I could contact them if I did. We enjoyed exploring Hafren Forest and Aberdyfi beach for some amazing walks and swims for Lola. We will return I’m sure.
