We loved the cottage and the beautiful garden - a magical place. It was easy to communicate with Sue and she and her family were such great, lovely hosts! Sue introduced us to her tasty Welsh cakes, a pleasure! The beds are very comfortable and it´s easy to relax in the cottage and in the magnificent garden. It was nice that there was an additional toilet upstairs. The location was great to explore the area.

Denise Germany

The garden was beautiful and the cottage was well furnished and very comfortable. The hosts were extremely friendly. The location was peaceful and quiet. There was always plenty of hot water and the shower was powerful and easy to operate.

A cozy little cottage, surrounded by gardens and views of the Beacons. Well facilitated and clean. Friendly welcoming hosts, loved the home made Welsh cakes on arrival.

Beautiful cottage in lovely grounds, very clean and homely, we had a lovely stay and a very warm welcome even though we arrived very late after a long drive down from Scotland.

  • I’m looking to travel with 3 children,8,10+13 and this property comes up with my search results but it’s not clear how it will sleep 4 persons?
    The Cottage has a single bed together with a super king size bed which splits if required into two large single beds there is also a fold out full size single bed for an additional family member sleeping downstairs in the lounge.
    Answered on 31 May 2021
  • hi, is your cottage convenient to access if we do not have a car and use public transport? Thanks
    We are situated in the country approximately 700metres off the bus route and 4miles from the train station in Abergavenny. Taxi service will bring you to the door from the train station but the distance from the bus stop might be too much for some.
    Answered on 19 July 2021
  • Hi, I am planning to travel with my family (2 adults + 2 children aged 10 and 12). May I ask, how many beds do you have at the property, please? On the photos I kind of distinguish 3 single beds, however on the description section it is written 1 single bed, 1 extra-large double bed.
    Hi, the extra large bed (Super King Size)can be made up as two single beds if required and there is a comfortable single fold out bed for use if appropriate in the lounge. The fold out bed is stored in a cupboard under the stairs.
    Answered on 30 May 2021
  • Hi, we're a small family looking to have a short weekend away from Cardiff. Your apartment looks really lovely. Please can you let me know if there are any easy walks we can do locally (suitable for a 7 year old). Thanks very much.
    We are fortunate to live within 300 yards of the Mon & Brecon canal which has a level towpath for miles in either direction. There are other easily walked footpaths close to the cottage offering views across to the Sugarloaf and over the Usk Valley.
    Answered on 18 May 2021

    Yes as shown in the photographs of The Cottage.

Llanwenarth Cottage is set in 4 acres of lawned garden with a summer house, bar, barbeque and various nooks to sit and enjoy a picnic. Our guests have complete access to all areas of the garden. The Cottage is attached to Sue and Tony’s main residence LLanwenarth Lodge but has its own independent front and rear entrances. The Cottage is completely self contained with lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom (shower only), one upstairs bedroom (super king size bed) and upstairs toilet. Surrounded by the hills of the Brecon Beacons National Park, The Cottage enjoys views to the front across the Usk Valley towards the Sugarloaf Mountain and to the rear the Blorenge and Tilla Mountains. Free parking is available in front of The Cottage.
Sue is retired, loves plants and spends all her spare time in the garden. Always ready to help with information on places to visit either on foot or by car or to provide any other information that guests might request.
Llanwenarth Cottage is situated in the lush greenery of the Usk Valley, 4 miles from the Welsh gateway town of Abergavenny, 6 miles from Crickhowell with its fiercely independent High Street shops voted best High Street in the UK in 2018, and 34 miles from Cardiff, Wales’ capital city. The local area has much to offer such as The Green Man, Walking and Literary Festivals in Crickhowell,Cycling and Food Festival in Abergavenny and Jaz and Arts Festivals in Brecon.

We are blessed with many fine local restaurants such as The Walnut Tree, The Hardwick and Angel Hotel and for everyday needs in Abergavenny a Waitrose, Morrisons, Aldi and Tesco Supermarkets. We are close to castles, such as Raglan, Caldicot, Chepstow, Grosmont, Skenfrith and the beautiful White Castle For walkers we have a myriad of local footpaths and for a stroll the nearby Mon&Brecon canal towpath together with more strenuous climbs in the Beacons which will reward with stunning views over the Welsh landscape.
