Highly recommend staying here. A beautiful cottage in such a beautiful area of Wales.Cottage was at a good price, fully equipped for all our needs whilst we stayed. Close enough to Abergavenny for any shopping, lots of other amenities close by.Will definitely look to return again in the future.

This was an idyllic property- lovely and quiet with stunning views - well equipped and soo comfortable (especially with the log burner) the host was friendly and welcoming and quick to respond. The only downside was there wasn’t a secure field and no gate on the garden so this was a problem as we had 2 dogs. If there was a secure field then we would definitely be back.
