About this property
Raglan 5.8 miles. A fabulous converted bull pen, The Comfy Cow commands outstanding views over the Black Mountains and the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), sitting in a quiet and serene location in Llansoy near Raglan in Monmouthshire. A romantic retreat for two awaits with an unspoilt landscape to provide the background to your couples adventure. Completed to a high quality specification and decorated with quirky cow-themed touches throughout, The Comfy Cow is a joy to stay in. Glass doors open out from the open-plan living space where you can prepare a meal for two in the sleek kitchen, dine at the country style breakfast table or relax on the sofa to watch the wall-mounted Smart TV. Step out onto the patio in the morning with a cup of coffee and wake up with the world. The patio is complete with outdoor furniture and a charcoal barbecue/fire pit to keep you warm in the evening. The bedroom which holds a king-size bed has a rustic exposed beam and exposed brick walls, original features of this farm building, paired perfectly with the vibrant interior furnishings. Adjoined to the bedroom is the spacious bathroom, complete with a separate bath and walk-in shower, basin, WC and a heated rail to keep your towel toasty, before you slip into the luxury dressing gowns provided by the owner. There are many fantastic walks and cycle routes straight from the door, with bikes able to be stored in the shed provided for guests. Five castles are situated within the surrounding area; Chepstow has the oldest stone built castle in the land, and Tintern is home to its majestic Tintern Abbey with its stunning setting on the banks of the River Wye. The river offers a perfect way to explore by walking or cycling alongside it, meeting the River Severn down at Chepstow. Monmouthshire is the food capital of Wales and as such you are never far from a wealth of good eateries and farm shops; head to the market towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny to sample some of the local produce or enjoy a drink. For an idyllic spot for two, The Comfy Cow is the perfect pick for a break in South Wales.
Set within the rolling countryside of Monmouthshire in South Wales is the quaint, rural village of Raglan. Here you can find a small selection of shops and pubs, as well as a local fish and chip shop. The Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park) is just a short drive away and is a haven for walkers and cyclists, with miles of trails and routes to explore. The Wye Valley lies to the east and local towns worth visiting include Monmouth, Abergavenny and Usk.

Esther
It is in a rural setting, which suited us. A welcome pack was provided. However, the property was cold on our arrival (14 degrees) and remained cold during our stay as the central heating did not remain on in spite of it being set to constant. This issue was raised with the owner and with Sykes numerous times during our stay, but the owner never came to the property while we were there to assist us with this problem. The heating issue completely spoilt our enjoyment of a much-anticipated holiday.

Very peaceful and relaxing! The only thing we would change is the sofa itâs not very comfortable to lounge on so we spent most of the time on the bed. The views are great. We would love to stay again on day. Thank you

We only missed a good coffee machine and an extra lazy chair in the livingroom.
