Located in a pretty village in the Usk Valley, this gorgeous cottage is a perfect year-round choice for families or friends, and welcomes a canine companion, too. After a day exploring the surrounding countryside, return to an al fresco meal in the courtyard or a cosy evening by the wood burner.
Thanks to pale walls and timber floors in the living spaces, the cottage feels very calm and tranquil, while soft colours, carpets and pretty bed linen make the bedrooms super-welcoming. Every aspect of the house has been carefully designed and it’s easy to see how it would quickly become your home from home - especially in the lovely lounge/diner, where you’ll want to gather around the wood burner after supper and enjoy a book, a game or watching the Smart TV. The galley kitchen is a delight, equipped with everything you’ll need to make stress-free meals. The three bedrooms - a king-size, a double and a single, are all on the first floor, sharing the family bathroom with a shower over the bath. For breakfasts in the fresh air, an aperitif or a BBQ, the small enclosed patio has a tucked-away feel and is perfect for relaxed socialising.
Just metres from a friendly, foodie pub, the cottage is located in Gilwern, by the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. The market town of Abergavenny is 4 miles away, and here you’ll find a variety of excellent places to eat and a range of interesting shops. For walkers, the iconic seven hills of Abergavenny (the Blorenge, Sugar Loaf, Ysgyryd Fawr and Ysgyryd Fach, Deri, Rholben and Mynydd Llanwenarth) are all within 10 miles. Alternatively, enjoy a day out at the Big Pit, one of Britain’s leading mining museums, just 7 miles away in Blaenavon.
