Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Llanover, Monmouthshire

Enjoying a quiet setting in the small hamlet of Llanover, this spacious holiday home provides a fabulous base for exploring the Brecon Beacons and taking in the natural landscapes of the Welsh countryside. This spectacular hideaway features a cosy wood burner, a stunning fireplace and two large gardens, making it a lovely stay for couples or families of six. Years ago, this accommodation was a working farmhouse.

Today, it has been sympathetically renovated to a high standard yet retains its cosy, characterful charm thanks to its exposed brick and original fireplace. Enter the lounge, where you're sure to hunker down with a good book in front of the fire or make your way into the modern-style kitchen to put supper on the stove. This is the hub of the farmhouse and is an ideal spot for entertaining guests or simply enjoying a tipple or two before dinner.

When the weather is being kind, unwind in the open aspect gardens at both the front and rear of the property, or summon up marvellous dishes from the BBQ. Head upstairs to find the three sumptuous bedrooms: a king-size, a double, and a twin room. All bedrooms sport their own decorative theme, boast glorious countryside views and have their own en-suites.

When you're not strolling the neighbouring fields, magnificent gardens and drinking in the greenery, you are moments from the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, which, when followed, leads you to Goytre Wharf, with rows of colourful barges and a cafe serving piping hot coffees. Don your hiking boots and explore the incredible climbs at your disposal, including The Skirrid, Sugar Loaf or Blorenge, all within 10 miles of the holiday home. Families will appreciate the Brecon Mountain Railway and Zip World Tower attractions, both within 30 miles.
