About this property
Llandegveth 1 mile. This cottage is attached to the owner's farmhouse on the outskirts of the village of Llandegveth, just a short distance from Cwmbran. The farm is framed by beautiful hills, woods, meadows and the valley of Sor Brook, which meanders through the fields. Walk through the front door of the cottage into the open plan living area and you are immediately drawn to the glorious panoramic views of the surrounding countryside through the double-aspect windows. Beautifully appointed throughout, the sitting area has comfy sofas, ideal for relaxing after a day's walking or sightseeing, whilst the well-equipped kitchen has a breakfast bar and seating to enjoy home-cooked meals.
Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, one with a king-size bed the other with two singles, both with far-reaching views of the countryside. Outside, there is a lawned garden and a patio, ideal for enjoying a refreshing drink whilst taking in the stunning views. Just a short distance from Llandegveth is the Llandegfedd Reservoir watersports centre where you can try sailing, windsurfing, power boating, paddleboarding, canoeing or fishing. For something less energetic, why not spend some time sightseeing and visiting some of the picturesque nearby towns such as Abergavenny, Usk, Monmouth or Chepstow. Glebe Farm Cottage is an ideal place to enjoy the activities and countryside in this part of Wales.
Llandegveth lies in Monmouthshire countryside and boasts a village pub. It is just two miles west of Cwmbran which has pubs, restaurants, shops and a leisure centre.

There is a patio with lovely views of the valley. We were surprised that the cottage information folder had no information whatsoever about the cottage or surrounding area - only hundreds of leaflets (some for rather far-flung places!). There was (for example) no introduction to the farm, no info about local walks, pubs, supermarkets etc. This wouldn't have mattered too much except that there is no WiFi (even though the farmhouse itself has WiFi) and very poor/no mobile signal - making it impossible to look these things up while in the cottage. We were also disappointed that the public footpaths crossing the farm had been diverted and were unmarked and in very poor repair (stiles completely unusable). This was a shame when there are pleasant walks around, e.g. to a stream in the valley which is great for children to paddle in. The garden was also unfortunately not very usable during our stay as the mower had broken so the grass was very long and had dog mess in it.

The cottage was peaceful;comfortable and had a lot of thoughtful touches. We were only a short drive away from the amenities in Cwmbrân but a whole world apart at Glebe Farm. The sheep in the surrounding fields and the chickens in the garden; the owls in the trees and the cows watching us go by. At night there wasn't a light to be seen: great for skywatching.

It was so relaxing. The cottage was lovely. The view from the lounge is spectacular. It's such a peaceful place. Mrs Watkins is very friendly and welcoming. We have already booked a return visit.
