About this property
This superb, semi-detached cottage, lovingly created from a barn conversion on the owners' working livestock farm in the small hamlet of Llanddewi Skirrid, oozes quality and charm. From the moment you walk into the open plan living space with its vaulted ceiling showing off the original beams, the stone walls and the lovely tiled flooring, you will feel relaxed and ready to enjoy your holiday. The spacious double bedroom is down a lovely short flight of wooden stairs and has a delightful en-suite bathroom. The opportunities for walking and cycling from the doorstep of this cottage are endless, along countryside lanes or on the local Skirrid Mountain, the most easterly of the mountains within the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons).
Enjoy the animals on the farm and the array of wild birds including red kites flying overhead. Spend a day in Abergavenny or Hay-on-Wye, or discover the region's abbeys, castles, museums and ever-changing scenery. A wonderful cottage for that perfect escape to the country, all year round.
The Welsh hamlet of Llanddewi Skirrid lies amid lovely countryside, 3 miles from Abergavenny, close to the Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons).

Fresh Flowers and cakes on the table to greet you as you walk in ,along with milk supplied to enjoy with a cuppa. Daily visits by the beautiful peacocks add to the enjoyment of this lovely place along with other farm animals in the neighbouring fields. A very short and easy drive from the main town of Abergavenny.

Clean and well-equipped, it is located on a farm where peacocks parade,in quiet, pleasant countryside 4 miles out of Abergavenny, a good centre for visiting the Three Castles, the Wye Valley, the Forest of Dean and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site, Foodies will find plenty of opportunities close by, with the famous Walnut Tree nearest.
