Overview
Property code: 88014

Enjoying a rural location with far-reaching views across the valley, this spacious farmhouse is great for families and groups that want to get together and make the most of the outdoors.

Set high in the uninterrupted Llanover Valley and surrounded by farmland, this charming 17th-century farmhouse bursting with character is the perfect setting for an extra special family getaway to the countryside. With an abundance of scenic trails beginning from the doorstep, this is an excellent spot for discovering the breathtaking scenery of the Brecon Beacons.

Beneath the traditional stone exterior, you’ll find true warmth in the characterful lounge, which features original stone slate flagstones and a roaring wood burner. Unwind weary walking muscles on the plush sofa and share stories of the day’s adventures. If you decide to eat in, the contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen/diner is the perfect spot to make special family memories while enjoying locally sourced treats. Answer the call of bedtime in the twin bedroom on the ground floor with the feature fireplace and original beams, or head upstairs to be lulled into a peaceful slumber by the countryside views from the three characterful king-size bedrooms. From sunrise to sunset, the enclosed garden with a spacious lawn and patio is the best spot for entertaining and enjoying the stunning surrounding scenery.

You’ll get to know the breathtaking Llanover Valley very well by exploring the plethora of well-marked footpaths from the doorstep carving their way through farmland and countryside, leading you to Blaenavon Common and an excellent selection of local pubs. Keen walkers will be spoilt for choice with the peaks of Sugar Loaf and Blorenge reached within 8 miles and slightly further afield the Black Mountains (19 miles). Make unforgettable memories strolling along the canal or cycling the 6-mile track around the largest still water reservoir in the central Brecon Beacons, The Talybont Reservoir (23.5 miles) or explore an original mine workings at the Big Pit National Coal Museum in Blaenafon 6.5 miles away.

Cottage was spacious and the view was breathtaking. Garden was enclosed but not secure all three of our dogs went through. Good for bigger dogs but not for small ones.

Amazing location, very isolated but can easily drop down to Blaenavon or Abergavenny for supplies. Walks in all directions, particularly enjoyed exploring the common, and dropping down the hill for a pint at the Goose and Cuckoo. It's a steep climb back up but that's Wales for you.

We had a wonderful week in the cottage. The location when the sun was out was stunning and we might revisit in the summer. The cottage is done to a very high standard, lovely kitchen and comfortable lounge. Plenty of room for everyone, we were a family of 7 with 3 dogs and did not feel cramped. The bedrooms are also very comfortable. The only downsRead moreide the access is down a very long track and at times the potholes were difficult to miss, but well worth the effort. Hide

A lovely quiet, rural location with beautiful views, at the end of a long lane!. The cottage is very comfortable for a family or group of friends who like walking, cycling and exploring the Brecon area. We stayed for a family wedding at Three Pools Farm - a lovely place too.
