For a quintessential stay in rural Wales, stay at this traditional home in the sweet village of Norton. You’ll be 1 mile from the Wales-England border and 2 from Prestigne, a sweet town with pubs plus shops for picking up supplies. Absorb the fantastic scenery and take soothing walks through the undulating hills, hopefully spotting birds and small mammals as you explore. The Grade-II house sleeps three over its two bedrooms, so is well suited to a couple or a small family.
You’ll enter this 19th-century terraced cottage from the rear and be welcomed by an open-plan living area that exudes country charm. The ever-so-sweet farmhouse kitchen is decked out with a Belfast sink, rustic cabinets and charming flagstone flooring, giving a nod to the interior styles of yesteryear. A wooden table and chairs are all ready for you to share meals together. You’ll love relaxing in the cosy adjacent lounge, an alluring space with sofas, a warming wood burner and a Smart TV. When it’s time to retire for the night, mount the period staircase to reach the two bedrooms: a double with an antique brass bed and a good-sized single room. Both have original feature fireplaces, in keeping with this old cottage’s charming nostalgic style. Warm days will no doubt entice you outside into the raised natural garden situated at the rear. Enjoy tea and nibble Welsh cakes at the seating area, surrounded by vibrant flower beds, potted plants and lovely views.
Prestigne is located on the River Lugg, and offers an historic atmosphere with its medieval church, narrow streets, stone cottages and farmhouses. Walking opportunities abound nearby, with the ancient Offa’s Dyke Path, a National Trail loosely following the England-Wales border, joinable 7.5 miles away.
