  • "We had a lovely, relaxing weekend at Tawny cottage."

    We are 5 adults and there was lots of space for us to chill and spend quality family time away from the hustle and bustle of work etc. The cottage itself is of a very high standard and was exceptionally clean. The beds were very comfortable and the attention to detail, outstanding. Everything we needed was provided and as other previous guests have mentioned, the generous welcome hamper was fantastic and enjoyed by all. Mike the owner, was really helpful and kind and was on hand if we needed him. We appreciated the hello a little while after we arrived as this allowed us to unpack and have a cuppa first. If you have had a particularly long journey, this is helpful when everyone is thirsty or needs the loo! Mike was so kind he even promptly helped us when we left an item behind. We would highly recommend this cottage and hope to return in the future.

    Hi Kat Thank you for your generous review. It is great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Tawny cottage. It would be great to welcome you and the family back at some time - perhaps when the weather is kinder! Although this was a UK challenge not just Wales. In the summer the area is lovely with great walks and riverside pubs to enjoy - maybe next time…. And thanks again for your time spent reviewing your stay. BR’s Mike and Alison Property Owner

  • "Fabulous cottage in a beautiful away from it all location."

    Easy access to Monmouth and Abergavenny. The living accommodation is beautiful, large and cosy at the same time. Everything is of high quality with excellent bathrooms and fluffy towels, and a large fridge and freezer and dishwasher in the superb kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our break away and would love to return.

    Thank you Nicola We are very happy that you enjoyed your break and would love to welcome you again. BR’s Mike and Alison Property Owner

  • "This was a beautiful property, in a lovely part of Wales."

    We were only the second party to stay in Tawny and were very impressed with the furnishings, high spec finishes and overall design of this property. We were left the best welcome pack we’ve ever received in a holiday cottage and Michael, the host, was on hand with any queries and any issues iand support. The property was very dog friendly, which is very important to us, and the grounds were impeccable. Raglan was close and the Beaufort Hotel did superb meals, drinks and had wonderful ambience. Usk is a lovely place to visit and Abergavenny, Monmouth, Symonds Yat, Brecon, Ross on Wye and Tintern are all within easy reach. We will definitely be booking again.

    Hi Nick Thank you for your generous comments. We are so pleased you and your family enjoyed your time in Tawny Cottage and the surrounding area. We look forward to welcoming you again - and we hope to see you soon. BR’s Mike &Alison Property Owner

  • "What a fantastic find for our last minute holiday!"

    Gorgeous character cottage in lovely rural location. Tawny cottage has been renovated very thoughtful - while retaining period features - to a very high standard and is really well equipped with all mod cons, spotless clean and decorated with great attention to detail - for us the perfect mix of old and new. Enjoyed cooking in the fantastic kitchen, with everything you could possibly need in it, very easy to relax on the comfy sofas after a day exploring the area and the wood burning stove made it even cosier. Our dog loved the underfloor heating in the brilliant extension. The beds were well dressed and extremely comfortable. The bathrooms are great – loved the complimentary body wash. The WiFi connection is faultless and there is spacious off road parking available. I’m sure when you realise a stay in the summer it would be nice to enjoy the lovely garden area. Another big bonus was the generous welcome hamper – best we ever had in a holiday accommodation. Alison and Michael made us feel very welcome and are the perfect hosts. All in all one of the best presented holiday cottages we ever stayed in - in almost 30 years of travelling all over Great Britain. We will happily return in the future - already booked another stay - thank you so much for a memorable holiday!

    Hi Birgit and Gunther Thanks very much for a lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Tawny Cottage. We greatly appreciate the obvious time you gave to the feedback. Looking forward to seeing you again in December 2026. Sincere thanks for booking again. Our best wishes to you both and Norris for the year ahead. Mike and Alison Property Owner

The property

Tawny Cottage sits peacefully on the outskirts of Raglan, surrounded by gentle countryside and a calming sense of space that follows you from the moment you arrive.

Ideal for families or groups of friends looking for a rural escape with real character, this charming cottage brings together exposed stonework, soft natural light from Velux windows, and access to adjacent five acres of private woodland.

With a stream running through the trees and endless corners to explore, it’s the kind of setting that invites slow mornings and unhurried wanders.

Step into an inviting open-plan living space thoughtfully arranged for spending time together.

The well-equipped kitchen makes mealtimes feel easy, whether you’re preparing a hearty brunch or a simple supper after a day outdoors and there are many quality pubs and restaurants to explore locally.

Gather around the dining table to swap stories from your adventures, then settle into the sitting area for a relaxed evening.

If you’re craving a quieter moment, head into the separate lounge, where the woodburning stove brings a welcoming glow, perfect for nights in with a book or laid-back conversation.

Upstairs, three peaceful bedrooms await: a double with its own en-suite walk-in shower, another double with a restful feel, and a single that works perfectly for a younger guest or solo sleeper.

The family bathroom is also found on this floor.

A contemporary ground-floor bathroom adds convenience for everyone.

Outside, the rear garden offers a blend of lawn and patio, ideal for alfresco meals, morning coffee in the fresh air, or simply listening to the birds in the surrounding trees or the five acres of adjacent woodland.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1183268, together sleeping up to seven guests.

Tawny Cottage And Walnut Cottage

Tawny Cottage and Walnut Cottage are two fabulous cottages resting near the quaint town of Raglan, Monmouthshire. This collection offers five acres of woodland and a stream you can explore, woodburning stoves surrounded by exposed stonework, original beams and countryside views making it a lovely base for groups or families, while the surroundings enjoy plenty of scenic areas to explore. If you don’t fancy cooking treat your loved ones to a meal out at one of the nearby eateries, such as The Ship Inn for hearty traditional pub grub, or The Cripple Creek Inn for a scrumptious Sunday lunch. Venture further afield to Raglan which is known for its impressive castle and welcoming village atmosphere. Abergavenny offers bustling markets, independent shops, and access to rewarding hill walks, while Chepstow brings riverside scenery, its ancient fortress, and the racecourse. For deeper adventures, Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) is within reach, where you can enjoy three standout experiences: walk the ridge of Pen y Fan for sweeping mountain views, discover the dramatic cascades of Waterfall Country, and explore the wildlife-rich trails surrounding Llangorse Lake. Chepstow and Cheltenham Racecourses are within easily travelling and local festivals such as Hay-on-Wye Book Festival and Abergavenny Food Festival can be found in the area. Ross-on-Wye is also the perfect location for river walks, food and antiques. With its characterful interiors, woodland grounds, and an abundance of nearby places to explore, Tawny Cottage and Walnut Cottage offer a memorable and rejuvenating break in the heart of Monmouthshire.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
