Take turns at preparing delicious meals in the chic kitchen area or pouring a glass of fizz and chatting to the chef of the day at the breakfast bar. Dine together at the table then make fresh coffee in the machine to enjoy back in the lounge area. When you are ready to turn in for the night, head through to one of the enticing bedrooms.

A very clean. comfortable. well equipped cottage, ideally placed for accessing the lovely Welsh countryside, Welsh history and the coast. A pleasant pub within easy walking distance was a bonus as was a local art centre and caf. We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay and found plenty to explore and loved the peace and tranquility of the cottage's loRead morecation. Highly recommended. Hide

It is probably the best cottage we have stayed in. We can't fault it in any respect and the location between Usk and Abergavenny was ideal for us. Josie made us feel very welcome and we plan to stay at Alice Springs again.

Do not hesitate to book! The quality accommodation is exceptionally clean and very comfortable. It is well-equipped with everything that you need. It is a home from home. It is ideally located to explore the area and there is a pub down the road within walking distance which is a handy bonus if you want something to eat and drink but do not want toRead more drive. We also visited the museum in Usk which is open at the end of the week/weekend and it is very interesting (near the Co op with parking) . Hide

Alice Springs Lodge is a gorgeous place. The beds were so superbly comfortable I made a note of the mattress make when I stripped the beds. We loved sitting outside when the weather permitted. Unfortunately, my partner had to go to A&E in Cwmbran only three days into the holiday and we therefore did not spend much time at Alice Springs. Josie, howeRead morever was kind enough to let my partner leave the car there until we could arrange to get home (and post some things I had left behind). Hide
