About this cottage:

Holiday cottage Llanfoist near Abergavenny, South Wales

A substantial house, furnished with a variety of modern and antique furniture and formerly part of the stable block of historic Llanfoist House, the ‘Carriage House’ is a perfect base from which to explore this lovely unspoilt part of the world with much to see and do withing walking distance.

Once housing the carriages for the occupants of the big house, including the legendary ironmaster, Crawshay Bailey, this is now a comfortable, spacious home with 2 sitting rooms and 3 en-suite bedrooms.

The main spacious sitting room is comfortably furnished with ample sofas and arm chairs and has a multi fuel style gas stove in the inglenook fireplace. The smaller snug like sitting room is ideal for quiet times. Put your feet up with a glass of wine and a good book.

Beamed ceilings carry on throughout the upstairs rooms adding to the character and charm of this lovely property.

Llanfoist Village at the base of Blorenge Mountain

Located at the base of massive Blorenge Mountain the village is an ideal place from which to walk the steep mountain footpath to see some of the best views in south Wales. The Monmouth & Brecon Canal runs just above the village at picturesque Llanfoist Wharf.

Abergavenny, Blorenge Mountain and Breacon Beacons National Park.

Situated at the foot of the Blorenge Mountain, a mecca for hang and para gliding enthusiasts, a footpath leads from behind the house to the top of the mountain - a very steep route but as a reward for reaching the top there are some of the best views in South Wales to enjoy!
