Holiday rental cottage in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire

Accommodation details

This cosy property in the village of Mardy is ideal for couples looking for a restful holiday in the Brecon Beacons. Abergavenny (1 mile) hosts an annual food festival and regular farmers' markets and boasts a Norman Castle. There are plenty of opportunities to get active, such as walking, mountain biking, pony trekking and climbing in the nearby Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

The characterful cottage has been sympathetically converted from a historic storage building associated with the mill that dates to the 17th century. Step into this lovely cottage and discover the charming, light, and airy living space perfect to unwind in at the end of the day. Listen to the wood burner crackling in the background or watch your favourite TV show.

The dining table has a view from the window, and if you have picked up some local produce on the market, then the kitchen has all you need to make meal preparation a breeze. There is a super-king-size bedroom and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. The pretty garden is a lovely spot to sit. There is a lawned area, stone patio, or separate decked area to choose from.

Relax with a glass of wine or grilled BBQ treat. Head for a day on the water or walk along the towpath of the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal (6.5 miles), taking in the beautiful views. Discover more about the history and culture of the local area at the World Heritage Site of Blaenavon (8 miles). Spend the day exploring the ironworks, castle, heritage railway and Big Pit National Coal Museum.

Nature lovers and walkers are in for a treat, and Talybont-on Usk (17 miles) is an ideal gateway town to explore much of what the national park offers. From Talybont-on-Usk, you will find walks, more challenging hikes, mountain biking, fishing, canoeing and kayaking options.
