This rural hideaway sits at the southern tip of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), with the market town of Abergavenny just 6 miles away. Sleeping four guests, the property is ideal for couples and small families looking to fully switch off and relax. The area is a paradise for walkers, with the Black Mountains on your doorsteps and the tracks and trails of the National Park within easy reach. In the evenings, sip a glass of wine in front of the wood burner, or rest your weary limbs in your private hydro hot tub.

The detached cottage enjoys an elevated position, with stunning views across the Usk Valley. Enter the property into the bright conservatory, where you can dine together and admire the panoramic vista through the large picture windows. From here, move into the cosy lounge, with its roaring wood burner and comfortable seating to snuggle up on after a long walk. You can enjoy a favourite TV programme or watch a movie on the Smart TV. A separate kitchen rounds off the ground floor. Upstairs, you’ll find two tranquil bedrooms with garden views, and a family shower room. Outside, relax on the enclosed terrace, dining al fresco, soaking in the hot tub, or simply stargazing in this designated Dark Sky Reserve.

The historic town of Abergavenny is known for its fabulous array of independent eateries and open-air markets showcasing local produce. Enjoy a potter around the town centre, before taking a gentle stroll along the picturesque towpath of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. Water sports enthusiasts will enjoy a trip to Llangorse Lake (22 miles), where canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and rowing are all on offer. For a fun family day out, head to Raglan Farm Park (13 miles), with its outdoor play areas, trampolines, and collection of cute animals.
