Description from owner

Description

Our self-catering cottage sleeps 2 in a simple but cosy environment. There is a large living room with dining area and a wood burning stove (wood nearby). There is a double bed on the mezzanine floor which can be used as two singles if required. Free WiFi, there is a TV with DVD/VCR in the comfortable sitting area, and the kitchen is fully equipped with a gas cooker, dish washer, washing machine, fridge and microwave. The bathroom has a shower, toilet and washbasin. All bedding and towels are provided and there is oil central heating and double glazing throughout. Outside there is a patio with a chimnea, dining furniture, sun loungers and a barbecue . The boiler house provides a drying room should we lapse on the weather. Dogs are welcome and love it here - they bring their owners back regularly to walk up onto the Sugar Loaf directly from the cottage.

The farm backs onto the oak woodland and open moorland of the Sugar Loaf, allowing you to walk and explore the magnificent views and countryside, leaving your car safely parked on the yard.

Getting around

Abergavenny has a mainline railway station and there are buses that go from the bus station to Brecon,Cardiff and the Valleys. We have no local buses coming our way but the Sustrans cycle route goes past the end of the road below us. There are multiple taxi companies in Abergavenny who come up here regularly. The Brecon Beacons National Park Authority runs a bus service further into the park on Sundays, but this programme changes yearly so needs to be researched further

Interaction with guest

We live close to the cottage although facing a different direction. We are always happy to offer information about the area and any events happening nearby.

“Shepherd's Cottage at Tyn y bryn”

Reviewed 30 Aug 2021

A charming and well cared for little cottage with breathtaking views of the Skirrid - with access to woodland walks as well as the Black Mountains yet only a short drive to Abergavenny for shops and restaurants. Perfect hosts close at hand for advice and help if needed.
