About this property

Set just 3 miles from the market town of Abergavenny and a stone’s throw from Skirrid mountain, this charming cottage is perfect for couples looking for a combination of a relaxing and adventure-filled holiday, ideally located for experiencing the best of the Brecon Beacons. Foodies will find themselves at home here, with Abergavenny famed for its annual food festival, plus pubs and restaurants offering plenty of local produce in their menu options.

Outdoor adventures and history abound, with three castles within 15 miles: Skenfrith Castle, Raglan, and White Castle.
