In the glorious Black Mountains, just a pootle away from the market town of Abergavenny, life in the hills never felt so good. Snugly nestled on a quiet hillside, delight in far reaching views, endless woodland trails, miles of rugged mountain & a more than decent scattering of country pubs to quench the thirst. The perfect get away from it all escape awaits.

Upstairs are three pretty super king-size bedrooms, two of which can be converted in to twins, each with marshmallow duvets on decent mattresses and a fab family bathroom, spotless of course.

For older children it’s heaven, with woodland trails and rabbit spotting galore, for those preferring a quieter pace, simply sit back and drink in the views from the South facing terrace. Ramblers will delight in this hidden corner of the Welsh mountains, breathtaking trails across the Brecon Beacons and plenty of pony or pedal hire available locally too. Star gazers will delight in this official dark skies area.

Whether its losing yourself for an afternoon in a fabulous market town, a stride from the door to the top of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, or simply lazing away the day by a mountain stream, we reckon you’ll be captivated by the beauty of this very special spot.

Our first response upon arriving at the cottage was Wow. Such a stunning setting. The house was immaculately clean. Everything was in very good condition. All furniture & utilities were of the best quality. We had a lot of rain, it is Wales & so the log burner was such a bonus in the cooler damp weather. The dogs loved it. The showers were good.

Lovely cottage in an amazing area. The walks are great direct from the cottage but the whole area is a walkers paradise but even if you can't walk too far, I had a knee injury, you can just soak up the views. The drive is tricky in wet conditions if you don't have a four wheel drive vehicle. Advice would be to remove weight from rear of car and theRead moren it is much easier. We had issues on arrival but after that it was fine with care. Also note some of the roads are extremely narrow. Great place :) Hide

Lots of walks from the cottage so the car barely moved expect for trips to The Crown, Abergavenny & Crickhowell. Drove back via the Gospel Pass & then on to Hay-on-Wye. Amazing views.

Wonderful location to celebrate Christmas in a cosy cottage well equipped for all of the festive cooking we had to do. Loved especially the double fireplace, large oven and abundance of comfy couches to curl up on for the whole group. Nick and Katie were very responsive and helpful when managing any issues that arose.
