Sleeping up to six guests, this three-bedroom property is only 1 mile from the foodie hub of Abergavenny.

Dominating the skyline, it’s a little more of a challenge but rewards summiteers with jaw-dropping views at the top!

Dust off paws and shoes in the spacious cloakroom just outside the back door before heading inside. Immediately inviting, the first place to visit is the large kitchen. With the original quarry-tile stone floor, radiant electric AGA, plenty of home comforts and large dining table as its centrepiece, this is very much a family space and great for relaxing throughout the day. There's also a comfy sofa and armchair in the kitchen, perfect for indulging in a good book or switch on the wall-mounted TV to relax. and unwind after a busy day of walking in the Beacons. When all guests want to gather together, you can lap up the ambience in the property’s parlour room, a beautiful time-trap with a ancient arched oak doorway, stone fireplace with an enormous stone lintel and great oak beams. You are surrounded by period etchings as you sink into one of the sumptuous sofas, you can pop the TV on (complete with Freeview) and all enjoy some TV time together. For extra choice, there is also a second fully equipped sitting room with lots of games and, if you’re feeling particularly creative, a writing room too. When bedtime rolls around, you will find the three bedrooms located up the stone stairs – steep and uneven in true cottage fashion – which consist of a king, a double and a twin.

When the sun is shining, the property’s large garden will be a real favourite. Accessed via the backdoor, its enclosed space lends a reassuring sense of security as children and dogs play outside, while its incredible views over the surrounding countryside are a real treat whatever the weather.

A character cottage in a quiet location affording easy access to the sights and attractions of south east Wales. It would be perfect if only landowners in this part of the world would not expect walkers to lift dogs over stiles! On the other hand, canine access to nearby rivers was brilliant.

Beautiful rustic charm. Loved our stay from the moment we pulled up outside and walked into the farmhouse kitchen, so inviting, real heart of the home. The wooden beams throughout, cosy sofas and stone staircase just added to the sense of tranqil calm. With enough space for each to have some solitude, it satisfied our variety of needs.

This place is fantastic. Very helpful and friendly owners who live less than a mile away. A welcome package of wine, eggs, bread, coffee etc plus well stocked cupboards with salt, pepper, oil, spices, flour made life much easier.

Fantastic location, lovely Farmhouse with all the right bits and pieces. Our family of 5 stayed with two cocker spaniels and had a great winter break. The aga was amazing, the water was always hot and beds were very comfy! What more could you want? Would highly recommend and hopefully we will be back.
