Nestled amid trees and verdant countryside in the Brecon Beacons National Park sits this glorious cottage brimming with country charm and style. Close to the foodie town of Abergavenny (7 miles) and with tracks and trails waiting to be followed close to home, spend days in the great outdoors before getting cosy in front of the wood burner or continuing your day outside on the terrace. Sleeping six (maximum of 4 adults and 2 children under 12) over three bedrooms, it’s a perfect holiday destination for a family and two dogs looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Step inside and settle in in this bolthole which is brimming with charm. Find some peace and quiet in the characterful lounge where there is a warming wood burner, exposed stonework and beams. Switch on the Smart TV for some downtime or curl up with a book. There is a second wood burner in the farmhouse kitchen/diner with a handy dishwasher and all you need throughout your stay. Eat together inside or fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco on the terrace by the lawn; take care on the external steps. A trio of inviting bedrooms can be found on the first floor- there are two twins which can be made up as super-king-size beds and have access to outside, and a super-king-size with a small en-suite shower room. There is off-road parking for three cars. Make the most of your fantastic location from which you can spy the Sugar Loaf mountain. Travel 7 miles to Abergavenny to summit the top where your efforts are rewarded with panoramic views. Time your trip to coincide with the annual Abergavenny Food Festival in September and you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy walks from your door and tread well-trodden footpaths or make the 21-mile trip to the cathedral city of Hereford for a family day out.

The cottage is fabulous, with everything you will need. The beds were comfy. There was just so much room and amazing views. It was the best cottage we have ever stayed in and the location was fabulous. It was also the best equipped cottage ever.

We had a wonderful holiday at Croft Y Cwm. The house is beautiful and so comfortable. I'd been worried about the track but it was fine (normal car, very wet weather) so don't be put off!

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location. Outside the view is amazing and the lovely garden and seating areas make the most of it. Inside is very homely and we were able to take advantage of having all three rooms as super kings! We had our dog with us and the enclosed garden was great.

Hands down this is the best cottage we have stayed in over many years. The location is simply stunning, facilities and level of attention to detail in terms of kitchen equipment/cleaning materials etc etc was excellent as it should be at the price point/luxury property.
