Overview
Property code: 91181

Nestled in the charming village of Gilwern, just steps away from the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, this pet-friendly family cottage is a gateway to the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. With a cosy living room boasting a warming wood burner and its own private patio garden including a BBQ for al fresco dining, enjoy a wonderful stay in the Welsh countryside, whatever the weather or time of the year.

Upon entering, an inviting lounge/diner welcomes you to sit back and relax in front of the fire after a day of exploration and the well-equipped kitchen boasts everything you need to make holiday meals a breeze. Upstairs, the master bedroom with a king-size bed and soothing neutral tones ensures restful nights. Two additional bedrooms offer a double and a single bed, and all share a gleaming family bathroom. Outside, a small enclosed garden awaits, furnished with a table, chairs, and a charcoal BBQ, perfect for summer evenings.

Surrounded by iconic peaks like the Blorenge, Sugar Loaf, and Great Skirrid, the region is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, and the cottage offers an ideal base for exploring the stunning Usk Valley, with endless walking trails. A short drive away (4.1 miles) lies Y Fenni (Abergavenny), a historic market town known for its Norman Castle and farmers markets. Crickhowell (3.2 miles) brims with independent shops, eateries, and is home to the Glanusk Estate that hosts the renowned Green Man Festival. The area's culinary scene shines, featuring local produce and acclaimed establishments, including Michelin-starred restaurants, and a nearby vineyard add to the gourmet delights.

What a privilege to stay at School Lane. Really beautifully decorated and everything is thought of we could have wanted. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed and provided such a thoughtful welcome basket. The only downside is there is no parking at the property but you are able to pull up at the door to load and unload.
