This remote bolthole sits 305m above sea level and consequently boasts spectacular panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.
At the end of a long private lane, this remote cottage is a rural bolthole for romantic getaways with dogs and horses. One of two rustic cottages brimming with charm, it boasts exposed beams and cosy rooms inside, with a sunny garden and even a shared heated indoor pool in the farmyard. If you can drag yourselves away from the farm, set out along the 177-mile trail that hugs the Welsh/English border or take to the local market town of Crickhowell (6.5 miles) to browse its shops and eateries.
Inside, this 17th-century cottage is brimming with charm, from its exposed beams to its stable door and sloping ceilings upstairs. Compact yet open-plan, the accommodation is homely and inviting with a wood burner-effect electric fire and comfortable armchairs in one cosy corner. In the other, a delightful kitchen area offers ample surface space for rustling up romantic meals for two. Upstairs, the family bedroom is furnished with one double and one single bed, perfect for couples and young families alike. Just mind your head on the sloping ceiling. When the sun is shining, tuck into tasty BBQs in the enclosed garden or take a dip in the shared heated pool in the barn (opens early April - early October) while your equestrian guest grazes happily in the large paddock. There's a large communal garden area with outdoor seating set within landscaped terraces and raised flower beds, perfect for watching the visiting birds and enjoying the far-reaching views.
Ideal for walkers, joggers, cyclists and horse riders, a plethora of paths and trails lie on this property’s doorstep. Follow the Offa’s Dyke Path, which passes through eight different counties and connects this area to Hay-on-Wye (29.5 miles) in the north and Abergavenny (3.5 miles) in the south. Nestling in the Usk Valley is the picturesque town of Crickhowell, home to independent shops, ancient inns, arts trails and walking festivals together with fishing and canoeing on the River Usk.
