Love this cottage. It has no garden,but there is some outside space at the front. The bench needs to be replaced it's got Paint flaking off it and it's not comfortable, could make so much more of the outside space.The mattress in the twin room is way too high, makes getting into bed awkward.Overall the cottage is lovely and it's in the perfect location right in the heart of Abergavenny, will definitely be back

As soon as we walked in, it felt like home! Cosy and quaint. It was also quiet and in a safe private spot. Loved our stay!
