  • "The cottage is in a lovely location, with excellent views."

    It was clean and well equipped and we received a friendly welcome. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

  • "As Canadians, Glebe Farm Cottage was perfect for us."

    Its location between Garndiffaith, where my sister lives, and Castleton, where my brother lives, was ideal. The extremely well appointed cottage was delightful and provided our adult son and daughter the chance to discover the many many walking paths surrounding it. They used them for two hours each morning before breakfast and were enthralled by the whole experience.

  • "A comfortable holiday home."

    As other guests have remarked, with lovely views of the hills and fields. The beds were a bit on the soft side, but this is a very personal preference. Other guests will have appreciated this. We have happy memories of our stay.

  • "We loved Glebe Farm."

    It was just magical waking up to those views for two weeks - from the bedrooms and the lounge/kitchen. While the cottage looks old from the outside, it's very modern inside, i.e. warm with all mod cons. Having a separate downstairs toilet was a great bonus. Camilla and Philip (the owners) are very friendly and were very quick to resolve the very minor issue with an outdoor light. As we have family and friends in the area, we had regular visitors and this was no problem at all. There is plenty of parking and nobody struggled to find the farm despite its idyllic countryside setting.

  • "The cottage interior is very comfortable, nicely fitted and well-laid out, with a useful area for boots/coats."

    There is a patio with lovely views of the valley. We were surprised that the cottage information folder had no information whatsoever about the cottage or surrounding area - only hundreds of leaflets (some for rather far-flung places!). There was (for example) no introduction to the farm, no info about local walks, pubs, supermarkets etc. This wouldn't have mattered too much except that there is no WiFi (even though the farmhouse itself has WiFi) and very poor/no mobile signal - making it impossible to look these things up while in the cottage. We were also disappointed that the public footpaths crossing the farm had been diverted and were unmarked and in very poor repair (stiles completely unusable). This was a shame when there are pleasant walks around, e.g. to a stream in the valley which is great for children to paddle in. The garden was also unfortunately not very usable during our stay as the mower had broken so the grass was very long and had dog mess in it.

The property

Llandegveth 1 mile.

This cottage is attached to the owner's farmhouse on the outskirts of the village of Llandegveth, just a short distance from Cwmbran.

The farm is framed by beautiful hills, woods, meadows and the valley of Sor Brook, which meanders through the fields.

Walk through the front door of the cottage into the open plan living area and you are immediately drawn to the glorious panoramic views of the surrounding countryside through the double-aspect windows.

Beautifully appointed throughout, the sitting area has comfy sofas, ideal for relaxing after a day's walking or sightseeing, whilst the well-equipped kitchen has a breakfast bar and seating to enjoy home-cooked meals.

Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, one with a king-size bed the other with two singles, both with far-reaching views of the countryside.

Outside, there is a lawned garden and a patio, ideal for enjoying a refreshing drink whilst taking in the stunning views.

Just a short distance from Llandegveth is the Llandegfedd Reservoir watersports centre where you can try sailing, windsurfing, power boating, paddleboarding, canoeing or fishing.

For something less energetic, why not spend some time sightseeing and visiting some of the picturesque nearby towns such as Abergavenny, Usk, Monmouth or Chepstow.

Glebe Farm Cottage is an ideal place to enjoy the activities and countryside in this part of Wales.
