Enjoying a delightful village setting in Gilwern, this homely stone-built cottage offers couples and families a peaceful base from which to explore the heritage, beauty and breathtaking landscapes of South Wales.
Kick off your walking boots in the welcoming entrance hallway before leading the way into the light and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of this home-away-from-home. Subtle earthy tones and lovely countryside views embrace the beauty of your surrounding scenery, with the roaring wood burner setting the scene for pure relaxation. Unwind weary walking muscles by hunkering down on the plush sofa as the budding chefs of the group rustle up something delicious in the sleek and stylish contemporary kitchen. Back through the hallway, you’ll find two bedrooms, one en-suite king-size and one twin, which both promise a restful night’s sleep. Enjoying a fabulous outlook across the orchard and rolling fields beyond, the enclosed patio offers the perfect peaceful spot to soak up your surroundings, ideal for al fresco dining and sparkling sundowners. There is ample private parking available.
The village of Gilwern is as picturesque as they come, home to some lovely local shops and an idyllic stretch of canal that's perfect for waterside walks and bike rides. Pick up some of this area’s best local produce from the independent shops in delightful market towns on the River Usk, including Crickhowell (4.5 miles) or Abergavenny (4 miles). History lovers can discover the region’s industrial past at Blaenavon Ironworks or venture underground at the fascinating Big Pit National Coal Museum, both reached within 7 miles. The Brecon Beacons Visitor Centre, 22 miles away, is a great starting point for walks and scenic drives in the national park.
