A beautiful cosy cottage. I spent Christmas at the cottage and couldn't have been more perfect. Very high standard in a wonderful rural location with wooded walks right on the doorstep. This was my first solo time away - the owners were very kind and checked in on me during my time there. Highly recommend

We spent a wonderful relaxing week in this peaceful and very beautiful part of Monmouthshire. The owners were delightful and generous, plenty of wood for the fire which we lit one or two evenings as it started to turn a little chilly...advice on places to visit, and generally kind and relaxed, there to help but never intrusive. Betty the dog was a delight!! The cottage is well appointed, we had everything we needed, lovely hamper awaited us, a great shower, wonderful comfortable bed. At night all you hear are noises of the natural world, no traffic, just blissful...slept soundly. We are our little dog had a great week. The area is outstanding for walkers and bike trails through the surrounding countryside. Highly recommended.
