Step through the front door of this charming Arts and Crafts Tudor-style home and you'll be greeted by an inviting entrance hall where high ceilings and superb styling exude timeless elegance. Take a moment to appreciate the formal lounge area, which boasts dual aspect windows and a stylish wood burner, before heading to the sleek kitchen to whip up some dinner. Host a celebratory meal in the elegant dining room, or head out into the courtyard, fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco. After dinner, make a beeline for the games room to play pool, or head out into the courtyard to enjoy a sauna and a dip in the hot tub. At the end of the day, you'll find five bedrooms upstairs, each one adorned with vibrant accent wallpaper. Three bedrooms offer versatile super-king-size zip-and-link beds (convertible to twins upon request), while the other two are doubles. Completing the layout there are two generous bathrooms, one with a double walk-in shower and freestanding bath, and one en-suite shower room. When you wake up in the morning, head to the cottage's outbuilding and you'll find the perfect place to enjoy your morning yoga before you make your way to the breakfast room for coffee.

Your pups are welcome to join you while you hike through the unique Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (13 miles). Alternatively, explore the dramatic ruins of the 14th-century Tintern Abbey (20 miles). Afterwards, stop off for a coffee at one of the village's dog-friendly cafes.

Croes Vaen is a stunning place to stay, and we had a lovely time. Every room is beautifully done, and the farmhouse is spacious. We were kindly welcomed, and given a very nice hamper on arrival. The location is great - only a short drive from Monmouth, and it is quiet (silent!). I hope to be back!
