Monnow

About this property

Monnow is a charming former 18th-century cart house, in the beautiful countryside of Monmouthshire. Monnow is located 7 miles from the Welsh market town of Abergavenny on the edge of the incredible Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and set within the picturesque Monnow Valley and on a working farm. This recently converted holiday barn enjoys far-reaching views across meadowland towards the tree-lined banks of the River Monnow. Welcoming couples, friends and one well-behaved pet, this delightful retreat offers a wonderful opportunity to step away from the distractions of daily life and immerse yourself in the surrounding landscape and wildlife. Inside, the single-storey accommodation features a bright open-plan living space where traditional barn-conversion character meets contemporary convenience.

The well-equipped kitchen includes everything needed for a self-catered stay, while the breakfast bar provides a pleasant space to enjoy meals together. Beyond, the inviting sitting area overlooks the private lawn and enjoys a scenic backdrop of the surrounding countryside, creating a lovely setting in which to relax after a blissful day exploring Monmouthshire and the Welsh borders. The flexible bedroom can be arranged as either twin beds or a super-king-size bed upon request and benefits from an en-suite bathroom, making it ideal for couples or friends travelling together. Outside, guests can enjoy a private patio and lawn area, perfect for a leisurely breakfast, a picnic lunch, or for enjoying scenic sunsets as the stars appear overhead in the renowned dark skies.
