Surrounded by the rolling countryside of Monmouthshire that your canine companion will go mutts for, this homely cottage nestled on a 300-acre working farm offers families and groups of friends a truly tranquil escape. There is also a large orchard to run off lead.
Chilly toes and paws can follow the delightful underfloor heating beneath the charming flagstones into the spacious kitchen/diner brimming with rustic charm to refuel with some tasty local treats at the end of a long walkies. Lead the way into the cosy lounge to unwind weary walking muscles whilst your canine companion curls up by the hearth beside the roaring wood burner; exposed stonework and a sloping ceiling will certainly set tails wagging. On the ground floor, you’ll find a king-size bedroom with direct access to the front patio, whilst upstairs, there is another king-size bedroom and a double bedroom featuring a mezzanine with a handy sofa bed. Soak up the soothing sounds of the river whilst you dine alfresco in the rear garden or unwind on the picnic bench on the front lawn that’s perfect for playful pups to sniff around. There may also be a large orchard for dogs to explore but is dependent on sheep grazing. Private parking for two cars is available.
This idyllic setting with the River Trothy and Tre-rhew Brook nearby offers plenty of scenic tracks and trails weaving through the Monmouthshire countryside, and from the doorstep, too. Take the lead to the Black Mountains (18 miles) to explore miles of hills on foot or two wheels if your four-pawed pal can keep up. Sniff out this area’s best local produce from the independent shops in delightful market towns on the River Usk, including Crickhowell (13 miles) or Abergavenny (7 miles). Nestled in the Wye Valley's lower reaches, head to Monmouth, 11.5 miles away, with your canine companion in tow to peruse its elegant Georgian mansions and Victorian courtyards lined with independent shops, pubs and restaurants.
