Property code: 42837

Big skies and wide reaching views of undulating fields and stunning Monmouthshire countryside, Fox and Hounds is an oasis of calm in an area teaming with natural beauty, with plenty of great activities and days out in very easy reach.

A gorgeous two-bedroom cottage, it has been stylishly restored as a calm and characterful retreat, idyllic for a romantic weekend, or base for the family holiday. Step through the door into a warm and soulful oak beamed dining room, toasty feet on arrival courtesy of the under floor heating. Sneak a peek at the wood burning stove warming the neighbouring sitting room, perfect for relaxing with a glass of red once you've explored.

Light floods through from the large windows at the rear, with well-equipped kitchen and light, bright bathroom flanking the stairs. Follow on up to the two bedrooms, a king-size en-suite and a family twin, which can easily be extended to sleep a third child if required.

Dogs are very welcome and will love it, babies and children catered for, with family games, handy cot and highchair. The garden is newly fenced and dog proofed, with outdoor furniture including firepit and bbq for the summer months, great for kicking back and taking in the views. There is a handy boot room, with washing machine, dryer and plenty of space for paws to be dried off and bikes to be stored.

From the door you can walk for miles, the Star Pub is an obvious destination for a pub lunch, or take a moment of quiet reflection at Kilgwrrwg, an ancient local church only accessible by foot.

Sitting between the beautiful Brecon Beacons and River Wye, with the Black Mountains in easy reach there are bluebell trails, medieval castles, Roman ruins and of course a fair number of gently bleating sheep to more than entertain you for a week or two.

Beautiful cottage in fabulous location. Peaceful break with wonderful walks on the doorstep. We went on many great walks nearby. Worth visiting the butchers in Raglan for the tasty Faggots. The only problem with this visit is having to leave.

The cottage and surrounding views are beautiful. Most things you would need for a couple of days stay are there and it is very cosy and comfortable with under floor heating. There are walks straight out of the garden gates to take your dog across the fields, almost alone except for the sheep. Wonderful to switch off and relax. There is a helpful foRead morelder for tips and local area food / walks etc. Worth noting it says that dogs are allowed in the property but not on furniture or upstairs. Hide

Driving down the lane to the cottage the beautiful surroundings took our breath away. We had an amazing week in the cottage, enjoying long walks, evenings by the fire with a glass of wine, spending time with our friends who came with us , the cottage was so comfortable, lovely and warm with underfloor heating, our dogs loved laying out in front of Read morethe fire. We were sad to leave at the end of the week, Cannot wait to return for another holiday in the cottage. Hide

We had a few lovely walks with the dog and enjoyed lunch at the farm shop and dinner at the Star. We will be back as it is a great location to meet our boys who are both living in the south west.

A beautiful cottage, wonderfully located for easy access from the motorway, yet secluded and with a sense of being tucked away in the middle of the countryside. The private, secure garden was also a bonus for our dog.

An excellent cottage, which has been thoughtfully and skilfully renovated, in a beautiful valley, with wide views on one side. There are lots of footpaths nearby, as well as interesting places to visit. It was very relaxing. The internet worked very well if you want to keep in touch with the wider world. I didn't.
