One of four rustic barn conversions set within the grounds of an ancient farmhouse dating back to the 12th century, this property is surrounded by countryside and enjoys scenic views across to Skirrid Mountain. A great base for exploring the beautiful Usk and Wye Valleys, the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons, there are also a wealth of historic buildings and places of interest to visit nearby including Blaenavon World Heritage Site (10 miles), Llanthony Priory (11 miles), Raglan Castle (11 Miles). The traditional market towns of Abergavenny, Crickhowell and Monmouth are all within 12 miles. And for foodies, there is a great selection of pubs and restaurants close by showcasing menus created with seasonal local produce. Annual events worth visiting include the Abergavenny Food Festival, Hay Book Festival, and Brecon Jazz Festival.

Enjoying a rural location within a farmyard, the private entrance of this property offers a space where you can leave coats and boots after a day of exploring. The rustic charm of this accommodation remains yet it has been sympathetically restored with comfortable furnishings. An open-plan living space is perfect for a small family, offering two sofas where you can relax in the evening and watch TV, plus a dining table perfect for some games. You can serve up dinner here too, which will have been prepared in the small and well-equipped kitchen. Guests have the choice of two bedrooms, a double bedroom and a bunk bedroom that is suitable for children. A bathroom completes the interior, and there is a shared laundry room with washing machines and tumble dryers.

Guests also have the bonus of fresh eggs from the free-range hens and feel free to meet the farm animals as they explore the grounds. There is an indoor swimming pool to share(open from 2 weeks before Easter until after the October half term), and you can soak away your troubles in the shared hot tub.

Would 100% recommend this. Facilities are excellent, the kids will not get bored. They loved feeding the goat and swimming in large pool and hot tub. Lots to do in the area. The cottage had everything we needed and was larger than looked in the photos. Maggie was so hospitable and accommodating. We cannot wait to come back!

A beautiful location and not too far to the local attractions. The swimming pool was the reason we booked this cottage but unfortunately we did not find it warm enough for our 3 year old for more than 5 minutes as he does not swim so could not warm himself up. The pool table has a few dips in it! Other than that the accommodation is what you would Read moreprobably expect from a farmyard location - I would suggest 3 star rating. The host is very friendly and accommodating. Hide

A lovely place to stay with a great farmyard feel (sheep, horses, dogs, goats and hens all nearby). The cottage has a rustic appearance giving it lots of character. It was comfortable and the hostess was very helpful and friendly. The surroundings are gorgeous and the availability of the swimming pool and games room was a very welcome bonus.
