Canal Boat Cottage, is set in a stunning location. Its a fairly steep climb to drive up so being confident in your driving helps. The cottage is beautifully presented and decorated and was an introduction to upside down living. The views are stunning and so having the living space upstairs was perfect. The owners had thought of everything, we were Read moreeven greeted with homemade Banana Bread and a bottle of apple juice. I love wild swimming, Keepers Pond is 20 minutes into the mountain and glorious. Hide

A lovely cottage in a great location, for walks from the door and only a short walk from Crickhowell and its facilities. The view over the valley is stunning and watching the narrow boats in the canal moor up below the cottage was interesting. The cottage has all you need for a comfortable stay in a home away from home. The garden was secure for ouRead morer two spaniels who loved the walks on the tow path and lanes straight from the door. We would stay here again if in the area. Hide

Lovely quiet location next to the Monmouth Canal. Dog friendly. It rained nearly all week, so we had a much-needed lazy rest. Steep stairs which wouldnt be suitable for very young children and people with mobility issues. Recommended and would visit again.
