2-Bedroom Cottage in Llanover

About This 2-Bedroom Cottage

This 2-bedroom cottage is a 17th-century detached property sitting high above the Monmouthshire countryside near Abergavenny. This historic Welsh hideaway offers spectacular valley views and sits at the end of a quiet lane with nothing but birdsong and distant sheep bleating to disturb your peace. Perfect for those who want to escape modern life without sacrificing modern comforts.

The cottage sits in the Brecon Beacons with waymarked footpaths right from your door. It's a walker's paradise with the Blorenge just 5.5 miles away and the Black Mountains within easy reach. Stargazing opportunities are incredible here - you're close to Brecon's Dark Sky Reserve and the terrace is perfect for spotting constellations (or each other) while soaking in the wood-fired hot tub. The Goose & Cuckoo pub is just 200 yards away.

The cottage sleeps four guests in two bedrooms - one double and one super-king-size zip-and-link that can be made into twins. There's a modern shower room, cosy living room with wood burner and a conservatory with dining space. The gardens are fully enclosed - perfect for dogs who like to wander (up to two welcome).

Nearby attractions include The Big Pit (6 miles), Abergavenny Castle (6 miles), Llandegfedd Reservoir (8.5 miles) and Raglan Castle (11 miles). Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre is just 14 miles away - perfect for history lovers.

This getaway offers that rare combination of genuine seclusion with easy access to pubs, walks and attractions. The wood-fired hot tub might take a couple hours to heat up, but like all good things in life, it's worth the wait.

Sarah

We had a lovely stay at the cottage! The elevated spot gave us stunning viewsand the place was so peaceful and private - exactly what we wanted. The decor was tasteful and cosy, making it feel really welcoming. The hot tub was a highlight; we loved relaxing in it. Getting the temperature right was straightforward - just light it a couple of hours before and keep the lid on when not using. Also, the pub nearby was perfect for a pint or two. We'd definitely come back!

James

Really enjoyed our stay, the views were stunning and the location peaceful. The local pub was a great find, especially during the beer festival. Perfect little escape!

Alex Harper

Comfortable, friendly, well-located

Emma Clarke

Honestly, we had a pretty good stay overall. The views are absolutely breathtaking and perfect for peaceful walks, especially with access to the Brecon Beacons nearby. The place feels quite remote, which we loved. The cosy living room with a roaring log fire was a real highlightand the big bathroom with a hot shower was lovely. Only downside was the hot tub-getting it up to temp was a pain and used loads of wood, so we wouldn't bother every day. Also, there was some mould in the bedroom and a lack of small essentials like matches and washing up liquid, but nothing too bad.

David

We had a brilliant time at 2-Bedroom Cottage in Llanover! Truly peaceful and calming, it's perfect for unwinding. Big thanks to the Williams family for their warm hospitality. We're already planning our return soon!

Alex

We had an amazing stay at this lovely cottage! The views across the valley are truly breathtaking, especially during sunrise. The place itself was cosy and well equipped, making us feel right at home. The garden's plant choices added a nice touch. Definitely a place we'd return to!

Emma Roberts

We spent an amazing week at 2-Bedroom Cottage in Llanover! The setting is just perfect, with breathtaking views from the cottage. Waking up to the sounds of sheep and buzzards was lovelyand relaxing in the hot tub in the evening was a real treat. The place was spotlessand the owners were super friendly and helpful. We'd definitely come back someday. Honestly, we couldn't find any faults - it was just brilliant!

Emma Turner

We loved the peaceful vibe here, perfect for unwinding and soaking in the countryside and wildlife. The cottage had everything we needed - really well stocked. The wood-fired hot tub was a bit tricky at first, but once we got the hang of it, it was perfect for relaxing after a day out. The long, winding country lane isn't for everyone-expect the odd car or truck-and passing places are a must, so be ready to reverse. The owners are super friendly and just nearby. Definitely a place we'd return to. Highly recommend!

Emma

We loved staying at this charming cottage! It's ideal for a peaceful escape, with lovely long walks just outside. The hosts really went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Just a heads up, the lane up to the cottage is quite narrow, so be prepared. Definitely recommend it for anyone wanting a restful break with beautiful scenery. Totally worth it!
