Location great you can walk into town, nice local wood, local iron works to visit on foot. House has everything you would need for yourself and your fur baby, toys, beds bowls. Beds are so comfortable and has plenty of space. Very clean and warm. Garden was nice size for a dog to run around in. All the facilities you would need. Owner was very friendly and lovely person, we will book again A++

It was a great stay! Very well-equipped and clean house. It has a very nice winter garden that made the rainy days very cosy. Big kitchen and great oven. It is perfect if you are traveling by car, but it can be a bit tricky if you depend on other transportation means (i.e. to go to Abergavenny). Unfortunately the only supermarket of the village was closed on that week, which made a bit trickier to get more affordable groceries, although there are some convenient stores around. It is very close to the Big Pit (amazing museum), and an award-winning cheddar store (a big plus for us). The host gave us clear instructions on how to enter the house and they keep a folder with lots of information about the house and the surroundings. I would definitely recommend!

Beautiful house, very dog friendly. I will miss the view of the hill/ mountain from the back windows. Everything you could need. Big pit and iron works just around the corner, local shops a small walk away. Good location to Venture further afield. Had a lovely relaxing stay thank you
