Nestled just a mile from the lively market town of Abergavenny in Gwent, Wales, this charming cottage, known as The Corn Store, offers a perfect retreat for two. With its ideal location, guests can easily explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Brecon Beacons National Park while enjoying the local shops, culture, and entertainment that Abergavenny has to offer. The cottage, which has been thoughtfully converted from a historic 17th-century storage building, is all on the ground floor and features a beautiful lawned garden, stone patio, and a separate decked area complete with a stone-built barbecue, making it an inviting space for relaxation and outdoor dining.
The interior of The Corn Store is designed to provide a light and airy atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. Guests can enjoy romantic meals prepared with local Welsh produce at the dining table while gazing out the window, and after dinner, they can cozy up in front of the wood burner. The super king-size bed promises comfort and warmth, especially after long hikes in the nearby Brecon Beacons. The garden, partially shaded by conifer trees, offers a tranquil setting for sipping wine or savoring grilled treats while listening to the soothing sounds of the River Gavenny flowing through the valley.
Located in the village of Mardy, visitors have easy access to local amenities, including a nearby fish and chip shop for a quick meal. A short trip into Abergavenny reveals a vibrant food scene, highlighted by its annual food festival, farmers markets, and the historic Norman castle. The region is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a plethora of activities such as walking, mountain biking, pony trekking, and climbing, all set against the stunning backdrop of the national park.
For those looking to further explore the area, the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal provides picturesque views, while the Blorenge mountain offers breathtaking panoramic vistas. Just 7.5 miles away, the Blaenavon Ironworks invites visitors to delve into the history of the Industrial Revolution, with opportunities to explore well-preserved 19th-century workers' cottages.
