One of the best preserved is Raglan Castle which is just under 3 miles away. We are also very close to Sant Ffraed House, should you want to attend a wedding there. The Forest of Dean, which is a short drive from The Stables, offers all sorts of sporting opportunities including mountain biking with bike hire, pony trekking, sculpture walks, steam railways and enchanted forests. The Big Pit in Blaenavon is a favourite with families and the hidden garden of Dewstow is a must.
For those looking to explore the countryside, the views from the Blorenge, The Skirrid and the Sugarloaf are amazing and all within a short drive. The Brecon Beacons and the fabulous Black Mountains are also within an easy day trip, all are fantastic for walking/trekking and cycling. Monmouthshire is very centrally located with Cardiff, Newport, Bristol, Abergavenny, Gloucester, Hereford, Hay-on-Wye, Monmouth and Chepstow all within easy reach. The beautiful and picturesque Wye Valley is under half an hour away and this is a super place to hire canoes and travel leisurely down the river, or walking/cycling the path along the river.
At the Stables you can grab a coffee outside on the patio first thing in the morning or last thing at night watching the sun go down. The dark skies are also perfect for star gazing.

We had a fabulous stay at The Stables. It was peacefully tucked away with walking and cycling from the door and only a short drive to shops and local pubs - about 5 mins. The accommodation was spotless, really well equipped and very comfortable for 4 adults and the two dogs. We loved the little touches, the dog blankets, the extensive games library (just needed to ask) the OS maps and very convenient outdoor tap for dirty dawgs and boots. Elin was an super host, friendly, helpful and accessible when needed. We would definitely return if back in the area.

What a lovely cottage in a beautiful location. The property is stunning with everything you could need & the welcome pack for us & our dogs was brilliant. The garden is enclosed so great for dogs & nice walks from the door. Easy to get to Usk & Monmouth for great cafes, pubs & shops
