Town Farm

This enchanting 17th-century country cottage is perfect for families looking for a family get-together or relaxing holiday. The ancient village of Grosmont is a real gem renowned for its community spirit and has a Norman castle. The area also offers plenty of walks, with Garaway Hill (5.5 miles) considered an ’easy’ peak.

This characterful property, set over three levels, boasts a beautiful blend of contemporary comforts alongside charming original features. The carved door heads and ancient oak front entrance carved with ’1673’ welcome you into this historic Welsh cottage. Antiques and original oil paintings enhance the grandeur and theme with exposed stone walls, rustic wooden beams, and patterned tiles and fabrics. The games room boasts a Smart TV and a wood burner; for younger kids, there is a playroom. Dine at the six-seater breakfast bar or the extendable ten-person table in the contemporary kitchen/diner. In the kitchen, you will find all the appliances needed to rustle up a family feast or celebratory meal and a Smart TV for entertainment. Upstairs via the cottage-style staircase, you’ll find five en-suite bedrooms. There are two super-king-size, one king-size, one single and a luxurious ’Loft Suite’ at the top of the house with a king-size sleigh bed. There is plenty of space to relax in the enclosed patio garden, which overlooks the surrounding hills. It’s the ideal setting for morning coffee or al fresco dining with a table and chairs, a BBQ and sun loungers.

The Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park is within 7 miles, offering a range of walks to suit all abilities. Head to the picturesque Ross-on-Wye (15.5 miles), where you can enjoy canoeing or paddleboarding and browse the charming independent shops. A little further afield is the World Heritage Site of Blaenavon (20 miles), which has something for all ages at the castle, Ironworks, Big Pit National Coal Museum, or the heritage railway.
