Offering an idyllic, scenic retreat to outdoor-loving couples, this countryside hideaway sits in the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park, where endless opportunities for adventure await. Set off the beaten track, this is a haven for lovers of nature, long walks, local history, and pretty villages. Explore the iconic mountain tracks of the National Trust's Sugar Loaf and Usk Valley (8 miles). As one of the highest peaks in the Black Mountains, Sugar Loaf provides breath-taking adventurers with some of the finest views in Wales. Keen golfers can test the greens at Woodlake Park Golf Club and Monmouthshire Golf Club, both within 9 miles. For a bite to eat, hop in the car and visit the charming town of Abergavenny (7 miles), with its independent eateries, gastro pubs and annual food festival. The town is also a popular gateway for several scenic routes, whether you're walking, cycling, or horse riding. On arrival at this gorgeous property, take a moment to appreciate the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the mountainous sights of Skirrid and Sugar Loaf.

Step inside and be greeted by the retreat’s social heart, the open-plan lounge/diner, which offers the perfect spot to unwind after days of Welsh adventure. Sink into the comfortable lounge sofas to soak in the memorable views or relax in front of the wall-mounted Smart TV. When stomachs start to rumble, walk through to the well-appointed kitchen which offers all the space and amenities needed to whip up romantic feasts for two. Enjoy the chef’s work back in the lounge/diner, or al fresco-style out in the garden. When it's time to rest, walk up the open staircase to the spacious king-size bedroom. This sumptuous room boasts large, scenic windows and a Smart TV for lazy mornings in bed. Serving the bedroom is a well-appointed, contemporary bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower and a separate, free-standing bath.

Step outside and onto the terrace, which is a gorgeous spot from which to enjoy your morning brew.

We stayed at Y Golwg for 14 nights in January 2025 with 2 Collies. The first thing you see when you pull up , is 'the view'. A spectacular panorama of the 3 peaks of Abergavenny. The property itself was tastefully decorated with quality furnishings. The kitchen was fairly well equipped again with quality utensils. The kitchen/living room is open plRead morean with a staircase leading to the upper level. The bathroom has a free standing bath, walk in shower W.C. and wash hand basin with a spectacular view from the huge window. Spacious bedroom, king size bed with beautiful bedding. Towels and toiletries provided. Another wall to wall window looking out over the three peaks. A small cupboard on the landing provided some hanging space for clothes also chest if drawers in the bedroom. Stairs, landing and bedroom carpeted. Downstairs was tiled with under floor heating which worked very well. Lovely local walks from the property but be aware of the sheep. Other places of interest accessible by car ranging from 10 - 30 mins away. Access to the property is via single track road. We had a lovely time but we're very grateful for mostly dry weather. The owners were lovely and communicated quickly by text to any queries I had. The remote location of this property is perfect for those of us who appreciate nature and the out doors. Hide

Great location, enjoyed our stay. Broadband is shared with two other cottages, which the tv is linked to and unfortunately can not keep up with people using it.

The cottage is beautifully placed at the peak of a hill. The area is very quiet, and peaceful. There are two pubs nearby, but both require a walk on tough terrain, we would advice travelling by car. The house is well equipped, and very modern. The underfloor heating is a lovely addition. The wood fired hot tub takes around 3 hours to heat up on theRead more first day, and then 1-2 hours to reheat on the following days. You need to regularly add more wood to the fire, roughly every 30 mins. Thank you for a wonderful stay Hide
