Description from owner

Description

Caithness is a beautiful, spacious and comfortable 6 bedroomed holiday home - perfect for large families - situated on the banks of the Monmouthshire Brecon Canal. It is a home from home, run by a small family business.

Built in 1959, it has recently been extended and renovated into a contemporary holiday home which sleeps up to 10. It boasts beautiful views and is the perfect destination to enjoy a relaxing escape to the welsh countryside.

GROUND FLOOR

During your stay, you will have access to the whole house including the parking area to the front and the garden to the rear.

The ground floor comprises a cosy lounge with comfy 'slouchy' sofas, a log fire for those cold winter nights and a large flat screen smart TV with Netflix and TV catch up services.

There is a spacious kitchen diner with a double oven, induction hob, a dishwasher and fridge freezer.

The utility room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer along with an iron and ironing board, should you need them.

There is also a quiet study room with a desk and swivel chair, several armchairs and a range of books and board games for the whole family.

Finally, there is a cinema/games room - equipped with a 3-in-1 revolving games table including pool/air hockey/table tennis and a cinema projector which can be used to watch DVDs, Netflix or catch up TV. It can also be linked up to laptops/XBOX/PlayStation via the HDMI cable.

*Our log fire is available to use from the start of October to the end of March.

This is an exceptional home. Beautifully decorated and equipped to a very high standard., The view from the rear garden is just amazing. The canal runs right along the back and is very peaceful.

“Beautiful”

Reviewed 15 Jun 2021

Absolutely amazing The pictures of the house do it no justice. And then when you go out to the garden it just gets better! The view from the garden is beautiful. The owners are so lovely and helpful. So much hard work has gone into making sure the house is covid safe so there was no need to worry. All that’s needed now is a hot tub :D Definitely booking again,
