Talgarth is a town baring a 13th century peel tower, now the village Information Centre, and a 14th century church, it was also once inhabited by Romans. The village offers gliding, pony trekking and walking opportunities through the Black Mountains. The rivers Ennig and Ellywe run through the village, it is also home to the Pwllwrach Wood, said to bare a lake where witches were drowned.

We found the cottage spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, and Jo and Martyn had obviously thought of everything in order to make our stay a good one. They certainly achieved that! The courtyard was a little piece of heaven on earth, so tranquil and attractive. There was plenty of information available on places of interest locally, places to eat and attractions in and around Powys.......all very helpful to help plan a successful and happy holiday. Our thanks to Jo and Martin for ensuring our first stay in the area was a memorable one. We will most certainly return.

The cottage was a great place to use and provided everything we needed for our stay. Talgarth is a lively and engaging place - even at the beginning of February! With cafes, pubs, shops and even a museum, it has enough to keep you occupied locally, and it is excellent walking country, but it also made a great base for frequent visits to Haye-on-Wye to shop for books.

Cosy and well-equipped. Lots of great books and the cottage was really well decorated. I enjoyed the whole week away and it was a lovely base for exploring the surrounding area.
