This cottage was honestly the best I have stayed in. The location is so good, near some lovely walks and a very short drive into Monmouth. Sam was on hand to answer any questions and fix any problems. The house itself is simply beautiful. It has everything you could want, the kitchen was well equipped and we easily catered for 9 people. The rooms wRead moreere comfortable and every one had plenty of space. The sauna and hot tub just added that extra bit of luxury, and the soft towels were a bonus. Hide

Croes Vaen is a stunning place to stay, and we had a lovely time. Every room is beautifully done, and the farmhouse is spacious. We were kindly welcomed, and given a very nice hamper on arrival. The location is great - only a short drive from Monmouth, and it is quiet (silent!). I hope to be back!
