We were very comfortable in this well-equipped cottage. We were central for visiting the canal at Usk, the Brecon Beacons, local walks and very close to Abergavenny which was ideal for shopping, eating out and plenty of parking.

A beautiful cottage, well fitted out, with a large and modern bathroom upstairs (loved the shower and the bath), and a well equipped kitchen and large living room, as well as comfortable beds to sleep in. We enjoyed some great walks in the area. Worked very well as a base for our family half term break.
