Nice comfortable cottage and if you want to get away from phones and media (no Wi-fi or mobile signal) then this the ideal location for you. Walks aplenty on you doorstep. There is no light pollution so on clear nights youll see lots of stars. The food at the local pub (crown) was very good and if your Gluten-free they are helpful.

A comfortable, pretty cottage for a couple in a beautiful wooded valley. Space is quite tight with the log burner taking a central position.

A cosy cottage that is really comfortable and well-equipped. The wood-burning stove and the books were vital, as our holiday coincided with storm Dennis. Lovely walks on the doorstep when the weather allowed, but to be honest, we hunkered down by the fire and listened to the storm rage for most of the week, grateful to be high on a hill, not down aRead more valley. It's dog-friendly, though the garden is not enclosed, so a tether is useful. We'll be back in better weather to explore more of the area. Hide

A lovely cottage in a quiet location. Great for a real hide away break, and away from the hustle and bustle of suburbia. Lots of walks and sightseeing nearby.

The cottage was in a very lovely spot away from civilization other than one neighbour. There was a great pub down the road which served good food and was dog friendly but you are advised to book as it gets very busy.

Gem of a cottage tucked away on a beautiful Welsh hillside with lovely walks along the valley, over the hill and down to the river...great for dogs, particularly Spaniels! Cottage was cosy, well equipped and had its own little garden...we had a really sunny week!

A beautiful cottage in a picturesque location. Perfectly private and secluded but only 3 miles from Abergavenny with countless walks straight from the door. So much to see and do in this area - this cottage is the perfect location for exploring this lovely part of Wales.
