About this property
Usk 3.2 miles. Resting at the heart of the quaint, rural village of Kemeys Commander, Monmouthshire, lies this fabulous, six-bedroom holiday home, Mistletoe Cottage. Ideal for large families, this charming property hosts a wealth of tasteful on-site amenities and enjoys a great location near a range of attractions including the stunning landscapes of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Inside, you are greeted by rustic, well-preserved interiors that are on full display in the open-plan living area. Watch as the designated chef whips up delicious home-cooked meals in the fully-fitted kitchen, before settling down to enjoy your culinary delights on the large corner sofa as you watch a film or two on the TV. When night descends, indulge in a hot, refreshing bath before retreating to one of six, well-appointed bedrooms, including a plush king with its own en-suite shower - the perfect spot to wash away the day as you get ready for the next one. Take time to explore your local area by paying a visit to the quirky Craft Renaissance Cafe, or even stop for a cold pint at The Chainbridge Riverside Inn, both spots situated just a short walk from your peaceful lodgings. The town of Usk is nearby where visitors can enjoy touring Usk Rural Life Museum and Usk Castle, before visiting an eatery or pub near the riverfront. The market town of Abergavenny is a short drive north, serving as a gateway to the Brecon Beacons whilst also containing a wealth of tourist spots, including the Abergavenny Museum and the bustling Abergavenny Market, a great spot to pick up a souvenir or two. Whatever the time of year, enjoy a memorable stay with your loved ones at Mistletoe Cottage.
The beautiful town of Usk nestles in the gentle Monmouthshire hills along the lovely banks of the River Usk. The town is steeped in history, from the ruins of a Norman castle to the seventeenth century buildings that adorn the cobbled streets. It's like stepping back in time with wonderful antique shops and cosy, friendly tea rooms and yet the more up to date boutiques fit nicely into the leisurely pace of life in this sleepy market town. The golfing courses abound in the area with the spectacular Celtic Manor Golf Course close by where Europe won the Ryder Cup and where all golfers are welcome whatever your handicap. The beautiful Usk and Wye Valleys offer wonderful scenic walks or cycle rides and the array of renowned restaurants offer fine dining at the highest level. A wonderful part of Wales for all the family all year round.

The property is very well equipped, extremely clean a tidy throughout. My entire family were able to stay all together under one roof to celebrate my 60th birthday, so we will all have very fond memories of our stay. For anyone wishing to book Mistletoe Cottage, I highly recommend the location, with a superb cafe on sight and beautiful countryside on your doorstep. Thank you.

The property was exactly as the photographs showed although the descriptions of the bedrooms on the various floors could be better described. The welcome pack and all the items included in the cottage should be mentioned ie tea, ground coffee and bathroom shower products as this is a very generous gesture.

Beautifully situated. Very private and relaxed setting, whilst friendly owners are on hand if needed. Great cafe adjoining, which adds rather than detracts from the experience. A lovely place to stay, that feels like a home, and not a holiday cottage. Beautifully furnished and equipped. Just missing a colander!! :)
