Property code: BN014

Located just outside the attractive little hamlet of Llanvihangel Crucorney, this delightful detatched property looks out over spectacular Monmouthshire countryside. Set out on foot from the front door to explore the Black Mountains, climb the Sugarloaf (4.5 miles) or follow the Beacons Way, which begins in Llanthony village (6.5 miles) and winds its way west for 95 miles through the fantastic Brecon Beacons National Park. Take to two wheels to follow the Black Mountains Cycle Track, an award-winning trail. For amenities, head into the busy market town of Abergavenny (3.5 miles) to stock up on supplies or enjoy a delicious meal out. For a spot of culture, visit nearby Llanthony Priory (6.5 miles) or Raglan Castle (14.5 miles).

Spacious, bright and traditional, this tastefully finished bungalow offers a home from home in the Brecon Beacons. The charming kitchen/diner has an electric cooker, microwave, larder fridge, Welsh dresser, dining table seating four and a fantastic view from the sink. After a day of exploring, retreat to the cosy living room, with its inviting sofa and armchairs, electric fire, Freeview TV and PlayStation. From here, a door leads into a wonderful conservatory, the perfect place to read a book, play board games or just watch the world go by. This property benefits from two stylish bedrooms, one king-size with stunning views from the bed and one twin, both with hardwood floors. The bedrooms share a bathroom with large walk-in waterfall shower.

Step outside to find beautifully established and well cared for gardens, complete with a table and chairs for al fresco dining in the evening sunshine. There is parking available together with ample storage for bikes in the garden workshop.

A lovely location with a welcoming and helpful owner. The cottage was well equipped but in need of an update. The views were partially obscured by the overgrown garden.

Garden needs cutting back so that the lovely views can be appreciated. Very nice bungalow but needs re-decorating. Julie the owner was very friendly and offered help if needed. We would go back and recommend to friends if bungalow updated

The house is situated in a tranquil location. There are excellent amenities local to the accommodation, and the market town of Abergavenny is only 5 minutes by car. The house has incredible views from the rooms, and comfortable furnishings which make it easy to rest and recuperate during your stay.

Lovely cottage and Julie got it spot on. Warm welcome and there when we needed her but left us to our own devices. The sun room is an amazing asset making the most of the views. The cottage was close to Abergavenny and serves as a great base for exploring the national park
