About this property
Resting in the village of Govilon, the quaint shepherd’s hut, Rabbit Hill Hut. Built using recycled materials from around the farm, this wonderful hut welcomes a couple and their four-legged companion to explore the countryside of Wales. With off-road parking for one car, this cheerful sage shepherds hut encourages you to make yourself at home in the lovely studio layout, where there is a well-presented kitchen housing a selection of amenities, two chairs, a TV and a double bed gazing out over the countryside, as well as a refreshing shower room. Overlooking stunning countryside views across the rolling hills, dine alfresco in the garden, trying out the barbecue and toast marshmallows beside the firepit, or later in the evening, stargaze using the telescope provided. Pets can roam freely in the enclosed pen as owners enjoy a cup of tea and admire the views. The local village of Govilon houses a pub, restaurant and convenience store, so why not enjoy a hearty meal, or stock up on picnic essentials? Scenic walks can be enjoyed beside the canal at Govilon Wharf, heading off into the local countryside. The bustling town of Abergavenny offers further eateries, a golf course and a local museum where guests can learn more about local history and heritage. There is plenty for history enthusiasts to explore, including Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and the fascinating remains of Blaevanon Iron Works, Big Pit National Coal Museum, Crickhowell Castle and Clydach Gorge. The Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) are full of amazing scenic walks and wildlife, so spend a whole day exploring the beautiful countryside on offer before ending your day in a local pub with a glass of your favourite beverage. Visit Newport for a day beside the seaside and try out a game of golf at Newport Golf Club. All of this and more with a stay at Rabbit Hill Hut.
Just 3 miles from Abergavenny lies Govilon, a charming village with a shop, a pub and a restaurant. Beautiful hikes can be enjoyed in the Wye Valley, along the Brecon Canal, or across the majestic Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) rich in natural beauty. The River Usk flows through the lovely market town of Abergavenny, which is nestled between seven mountains and offers stunning views in all directions. The town has a castle with a museum, churches, a market hall indoors, high-quality stores, and a wide variety of taverns and restaurants to satisfy every preference. Every day of your vacation will be different with abbeys, castles, mining museums, a Roman amphitheatre, and spas in nearby Caerleon.

Great for the dogs with enclosed garden. Hut itself well equipped with everything you need including extras such as firewood for the fire pit and telescope for viewing the stars ! Lovely owner too who helped us into the hut and gave us a tour of where we were staying.
