Located just outside the attractive hamlet of Llanvihangel Crucorney, this delightful property looking out over the spectacular Monmouthshire countryside is ideal for families or friends looking for a relaxing holiday. The property is inside the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons). Walkers also can set out on foot from the front door to explore the Black Mountains, or the climb up Sugarloaf and the Usk Valley starts 5 miles away. The market town of Abergavenny (3.5 miles) has a delicious choice of eateries and holds an annual food festival.

Spacious, bright, and traditional, this attractive bungalow offers a homely feel and tasteful furnishings. The charming kitchen/diner has all the necessary appliances to make meal preparation a breeze, and a Welsh dresser adds a touch of country style. After a day of exploring, retreat to the cosy living room, with its inviting sofa and armchairs, electric fire and TV, perfect for conversation or a movie night. A door leads into the conservatory from the lounge, the ideal spot to read a book, play board games or relax. This property benefits from two stylish bedrooms, one king-size with stunning views and one twin. The bedrooms share a contemporary bathroom with a walk-in waterfall shower. Step outside and unwind in the beautiful gardens with a table and chairs, making this the place to enjoy al fresco dining on fine evenings.

If you love to dive into the local culture, then nearby Raglan Castle (14.5 miles) is must-see. Hikers can spend the day exploring a section of the Beacons Way, which begins in Llanthony (6.5 miles) and winds its way west for 95 miles through the National Park. On a rainy day, head to the Big Pit National Coal Museum (13 miles) and explore the underground tours and museums.

A lovely location with a welcoming and helpful owner. The cottage was well equipped but in need of an update. The views were partially obscured by the overgrown garden.

Garden needs cutting back so that the lovely views can be appreciated. Very nice bungalow but needs re-decorating. Julie the owner was very friendly and offered help if needed. We would go back and recommend to friends if bungalow updated

The house is situated in a tranquil location. There are excellent amenities local to the accommodation, and the market town of Abergavenny is only 5 minutes by car. The house has incredible views from the rooms, and comfortable furnishings which make it easy to rest and recuperate during your stay.

Lovely cottage and Julie got it spot on. Warm welcome and there when we needed her but left us to our own devices. The sun room is an amazing asset making the most of the views. The cottage was close to Abergavenny and serves as a great base for exploring the national park
