Great space, everything you could want plus singing frogs on your doorstep. Had a lovely few days with family, road to the property a winding track which takes a couple days to get used to and where the pot holes are, but well worth the trip. Had an amazing meal at the Crown at Pentigelly only 2 miles away. Plenty to explore in the surrounding areaRead more. Property has everything you need, lovely and warm. Communication was excellent and Shane even left mobility aids for my elderly mum. Thank You Hide

Very comfortable modern cottage with enclosed garden. Friendly and helpful owner. Perfect for a get-together of 3 couples and a dog. Lots of great walks in the area, good shopping facilities in Abergavenny and good food at the Crown Inn a short drive away. The road leading to the cottage is quite narrow and pot-holed, so driving needs some care.
