Caithness Holiday Home
*EASTER 2025 AVAILABLE*
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.
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 linked up to a Fire TV stick with free Netflix access. It can also be linked up to laptops/XBOX/PlayStation via the spare HDMI cable.
*Our log fire is available to use from the start of October to the end of March.
FIRST FLOOR
The first floor showcases a large bathroom with walk in shower and a freestanding bath.
Bedroom 1 is our master bedroom with a supersized picture window and a spectacular view, super king bed and smart TV.
Bedroom 2 has a king bed and a TV.
Bedroom 3 has a king bed.
Bedroom 4 has a double bed and a smart TV.
Bedroom 5 has a single bed.
Bedroom 6 has a single bed.
All bedrooms have drawers and mirrored wardrobes. In three of the bedrooms there are dressing tables. We have 4 hair dryers and 4 fans, all of which can be found in the bedrooms.
There is also an additional shower room with a toilet and basin.
We have shampoo/conditioner/shower gel dispensers in both bathrooms.
Towels are provided for guests (1 x Bath Towel & 1 x Hand Towel each)
OUTSIDE
Throughout the summer months, there is a gas BBQ and rattan furniture set out on the balcony, to allow you to relax and dine outside, while enjoying the beautiful views. Please note: From October - April these will be covered/stored away.
At Caithness Holiday Home we have 1 three-person canoe, 2 kayaks and a rowing boat available for guests to use on the canal. Life jackets of a variety of sizes are available. It is possible to hire a variety of larger boats/barges for the day from the nearby Goytre Wharf.
We have 5 bicycles of a variety of sizes if you would like to explore the canal via the towpath. The canal is accessible for over 30 miles towards Brecon for cyclists, walkers and boats alike. There's a little shortcut to reach the towpath detailed in our welcome folder!
Fishing is available from the bottom of the garden with rods and fishing gear available for guests to use. The canal is well stocked with bream, pike, roach, dace, chub, perch and eel.
Please note: The outdoor equipment at Caithness is our own which we extend for guests to use. We ask if guests can please take care when using it and inform us straight away in the event of any damage. From time to time some equipment may be unavailable (including the boats, bikes and fishing gear) if we need to carry out necessary repairs. We reserve the right to do this at any time without prior notice but we will always do our best to communicate this to guests before check-in.
