We had a wonderful time, the cottage was lovely and very well equipped and very warm, which was great considering the weather. We will definitely go back again. You do need a car but you could walk if you are feeling energetic. Abergavenny is a lovely town and there were 2 mountains to climb, one even within walking distance.
