About this property
This superb, semi-detached cottage, lovingly created from a barn conversion on the owners' working livestock farm in the small hamlet of Llanddewi Skirrid, oozes quality and charm. From the moment you walk into the open plan living space with its vaulted ceiling showing off the original beams, the stone walls and the lovely tiled flooring, you will feel relaxed and ready to enjoy your holiday. The spacious double bedroom is down a lovely short flight of wooden stairs and has a delightful en-suite bathroom. The opportunities for walking and cycling from the doorstep of this cottage are endless, along countryside lanes or on the local Skirrid Mountain, the most easterly of the mountains within the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons). Enjoy the animals on the farm and the array of wild birds including red kites flying overhead. Spend a day in Abergavenny or Hay-on-Wye, or discover the region's abbeys, castles, museums and ever-changing scenery. A wonderful cottage for that perfect escape to the country, all year round.
The Welsh hamlet of Llanddewi Skirrid lies amid lovely countryside, 3 miles from Abergavenny, close to the Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons). The famous Walnut Tree restaurant can be found here, and more fine dining at The Fox Hunter restaurant is just a short drive away. Walkers will enjoy the variety of trails around the countryside and up Skirrid Mountain, which is the most easterly peak in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). Abergavenny has amenities including shops, pubs and tearooms, while the Wye Valley, abbeys and castles can all be found in this beautiful region.
