Overview
Property code: OC-Y30114

Nestled in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this countryside hideaway offers a scenic retreat perfect for couples and their outdoor-loving furry friends. With a wood-fired hot tub, far-reaching rural views and endless adventures just beyond your doorstep, this secluded getaway is a paradise for nature lovers and their canine companions.

Upon arrival, take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and admire the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the majestic Skirrid and Sugar Loaf mountains. Step inside to discover the welcoming open-plan lounge/diner – the perfect spot to relax after a day of discovery. Sink into the comfortable sofas with your pup curled up at your feet, and enjoy a quiet evening watching your favourite shows on the Smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up delicious meals, whether dining in or heading out to the garden. At bedtime, head up the open staircase to the spacious king-size bedroom where you can sleep well after a long day of adventure. The large windows offer stunning views, while the Smart TV lets you enjoy a lazy morning in bed. The contemporary bathroom features a walk-in rainfall shower and a luxurious freestanding bath for soaking tired legs. Outside, the enclosed terrace is a safe spot for your four-legged pal to roam while you sip your morning coffee. Enjoy an evening under the stars in the wood-fired hot tub, or dine alfresco with your hound by your side. Private, off-road parking for two cars is available.

Trek the renowned mountain trails of Sugar Loaf and Usk Valley (just 8 miles away), where you and your four-legged companion can enjoy some of the most stunning views in Wales. For those who fancy a round of golf, Woodlake Park Golf Club and Monmouthshire Golf Club are both within 9 miles, though we’re sure your faithful friend would prefer a romp in the open fields! When it’s time for a well-earned treat, head to the nearby town of Abergavenny (7 miles), with its dog-friendly cafes, tempting gastro pubs, and annual food festival.

Lovely cottage with the most stunning view, huge comfy bed and cosy living space. With dogs if they are prone to jumping then the fence could be considered low. The directions to the property are very clear and it is clear that you will need to drive on a track and to prepare for such.

Amazing place to stay, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Have family live close by so was the perfect base to use to explore local areas. The only negative i can think of were the roads leading up to the property need a bit of maintenance, but apart from that I would highly recommend staying here!

We found the property to be clean, very comfortable, and very quiet. If you're taking your furry friends, then this property is located in a perfect position for long walks, and the pub is a must-visit for a delicious meal and very good value for money. I recommend you book before you visit, especially on a Sunday. If you're looking for complete soRead morelitude, then this property is perfect. Hide

We had a really lovely stay at the cottage and found it to be extremely cosy, quiet, and relaxing. Its in a beautiful location and feels very private, making it a great place to unwind and switch off. The cottage was very clean on arrival and has been furnished thoughtfully to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Even though the weather was veRead morery poor during our visit, we were still able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and it made the cottage feel like a real retreat. The views from the property are fantastic and a real highlight. The cottage itself is very remote, which is perfect if you are looking to get away from it all as we were; just remember that its a long way to the nearest shop if you forget anything. That said, we genuinely had a wonderful time and found the cottage to be charming, comfortable, and very relaxing. With a few small improvements, it has the potential to be absolutely perfect. We would certainly consider returning, and would happily recommend it to others seeking a peaceful and cosy getaway in a beautiful part of Wales. Hide

Spectacular views. Hot tub great. Walks on doorstep. Although garden is fenced, it is very low therefore not secure for our dogs who could easily jump it, they remained on their leads. If you like peace and quiet and lovely sunrises and sunsets, then this is the place for you, cannot fault the location but be prepared for a very bumpy 2.4 mile drivRead moree up and an equally bumpy 0.8 mile farm track to cottage. Would recommend but not quite as luxurious as we had hoped. Hide

A beautiful cottage in an absolutely stunning location. The pictures on the website really dont do the views justice. Comfortable, clean, modern, with just the right amount of rustic. The hot tub is fantastic, and what a setting! Definitely drive carefully on your way up the track as its a bit lumpy. Echo what others have said- WiFi can be quiteRead more slow as its shared between properties. Will definitely stay again! Hide

We stayed at Y Golwg for 14 nights in January 2025 with 2 Collies. The first thing you see when you pull up , is 'the view'. A spectacular panorama of the 3 peaks of Abergavenny. The property itself was tastefully decorated with quality furnishings. The kitchen was fairly well equipped again with quality utensils. The kitchen/living room is open plRead morean with a staircase leading to the upper level. The bathroom has a free standing bath, walk in shower W.C. and wash hand basin with a spectacular view from the huge window. Spacious bedroom, king size bed with beautiful bedding. Towels and toiletries provided. Another wall to wall window looking out over the three peaks. A small cupboard on the landing provided some hanging space for clothes also chest if drawers in the bedroom. Stairs, landing and bedroom carpeted. Downstairs was tiled with under floor heating which worked very well. Lovely local walks from the property but be aware of the sheep. Other places of interest accessible by car ranging from 10 - 30 mins away. Access to the property is via single track road. We had a lovely time but we're very grateful for mostly dry weather. The owners were lovely and communicated quickly by text to any queries I had. The remote location of this property is perfect for those of us who appreciate nature and the out doors. Hide

Great location, enjoyed our stay. Broadband is shared with two other cottages, which the tv is linked to and unfortunately can not keep up with people using it.

The cottage is beautifully placed at the peak of a hill. The area is very quiet, and peaceful. There are two pubs nearby, but both require a walk on tough terrain, we would advice travelling by car. The house is well equipped, and very modern. The underfloor heating is a lovely addition. The wood fired hot tub takes around 3 hours to heat up on theRead more first day, and then 1-2 hours to reheat on the following days. You need to regularly add more wood to the fire, roughly every 30 mins. Thank you for a wonderful stay Hide
