Holiday cottage in Abergavenny (3mls NE), Monmouthshire

Accommodation details

Nestled within a farm in the Brecon Beacons National Park, this rural bolthole is the perfect place to recharge the batteries. With spectacular countryside and mountain views, this is an idyllic base for a family of four looking to explore the Welsh landscape, whether on foot or on an electric bike! This former henhouse has been cleverly converted into a light and airy hideaway with a contemporary finish.

Enter into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you'll instantly feel the warmth from the underfloor heating in this spacious yet inviting room. Spend many happy hours here, whether reclining on the leather sofas, streaming a film on the Smart TV, or playing board games around the dining table.

Cook up family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen space and serve up around the marvellous table, where bi-folding doors allow the mountain views to become your backdrop for the evening. Enjoy a great night's sleep in the lovely super-king-size bedroom or the king-size, both with en-suites.

Outside, the private enclosed garden is a beautiful spot to enjoy a few chapters of your novel. Hire an electric bike from the property owners and take to the many trails and routes available from your doorstep. For the hikers of the party, head to the summits of Sugar Loaf and Skirrid, which can be seen from the property in all their majesty.

Abergavenny is a 3-mile drive and provides an eclectic mix of shops, pubs and restaurants, with regular food festivals and markets to encounter. Take a trip to the Three Castles of Gwent, all within 10 miles of the accommodation and encompassing the medieval settlements of Grosmont, Skenfrith and White Castle.
