Nestled in the serene village of Llanvihangel Crucorney, near the English border, this exquisite Grade 2* listed cottage is perfectly situated on the eastern edge of the Brecon Beacons, making it an ideal retreat for walking enthusiasts. Featured in a December 2020 "Country Life" article as one of the "Five Unique UK Holiday Rentals to Book for 2021," this property is just five miles from the bustling market town of Abergavenny, known for its vibrant market held three times a week along with a variety of independent shops, restaurants, and pubs. The nearby 13th-century ruins of Llanthony Priory add a touch of historic charm to the area, while the small town of Crickhowell offers galleries and unique shopping experiences.
The cottage beautifully retains its 16th-century character, showcasing period features such as oak beams, wood paneling, stone steps, and original fireplaces. Upon entry, guests are welcomed into a slate-floored hallway that leads to a cozy study and a spacious lounge. The lounge, designed for relaxation, features comfortable seating around a wood burner, with a well-stocked log store available for use. Entertainment options abound, including a TV/DVD, an iPod dock, and a comprehensive collection of DVDs, games, and books, ensuring that guests of all ages find something to enjoy during their stay.
The kitchen/diner, accessible from the hallway, combines modern amenities with a traditional ambiance. Equipped with an Aga for cooking special meals, as well as a microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and washer/dryer, it offers a homey feel. The wooden dining table comfortably accommodates six guests, making it perfect for family meals. A convenient toilet is located in the utility area on the ground floor, enhancing the cottage's functionality.
On the upper floor, the property features three elegantly appointed double bedrooms, along with a smaller bedroom suitable for a child, which can be arranged upon request. One bedroom includes an en suite shower room, accessible via a stone staircase from the lounge, while the other bedrooms are separated by wooden panel walls, allowing for some noise transfer. A stylish bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate shower room completes the upper level. Outside, guests can enjoy a private garden with a sunlit lawn and a more secluded shaded area, perfect for al fresco dining with a BBQ. Additional amenities include parking for three cars and a stone shed housing table tennis and various garden games, such as boules and croquet, ensuring a delightful stay for all visitors.
