Booked the cottage over the Christmas weekend. Photos and descriptions as seen. The cottage /house had ample rooms and facilities to accommodate myself, my two daughters and their families, with their 1 and 2 year old boys. They bought travel cots with them. There is plenty of room and space, to have our meals and family time and also time to have Read moresome down time. There is lots of parking (we had 3 cars) and the house is in a hill rise which gives it lots of privacy and wonderful views. Hide

What a fantastic place. Thank you so much for making it so lovely a place to stay. Spacious but very cosy (we were only 4 but would still be spacious for 8), well equipped, idyllically peaceful but a great location for walks, bike rides and paddling the river Usk.
