Liz Harvey
A cosy cottage, attached to the owner’s B&B and surrounded by working farmland and walks along the River Usk on the Usk Valley Walk, on the edge of the hamlet of The Bryn, just four miles from the popular town of Abergavenny. The cottage is just a short walk from the village of Penpergwm in the undulating Welsh border countryside and just a short drive away lies a hub of fantastic restaurants and one reason why many people visit the area. Set over the ground floor there are two bedrooms, one large with an en-suite family bathroom, and a smaller bedroom with full-size single bunk beds. There is an open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area and a comfy seating area with a television, where you can relax and possibly enjoy some of the delightful local produce you have picked up on your day of exploring. Outside, you can sit in the small courtyard garden and enjoy a glass of something cold, whilst discussing the day's events.
Rectory Cottage is run by Liz and Kate, mother and daughter, who live in The Old Rectory, adjacent to Rectory Cottage. Ensuring that you have a memorable and comfortable break is what we strive for. We love welcoming your dogs to our beautiful area, however, there are chickens and sheep close by, so please ensure you keep them on a lead. We allow a maximum of two well-behaved dogs in the cottage. Liz is a pet portrait watercolour artist, so if you are interested in having yours or someone else's dog painted, please do ask for details. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to your visit and we look forward to welcoming you to Rectory Cottage.
A real gastronomic haven, as well as being situated close to amazing mountains and walks, the cottage is a perfect base for couples and small families looking to sample the surrounding area and its foodie delights. The whole area offers stunning views and walks across a variety of terrain, but is also rich in Industrial Heritage. The Big Pit National Coal Museum and surrounding Ironworks is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a wonderful area to spend the day. You are ideally placed to explore the Brecon Beacons, walk up the Sugar Loaf, Skirrid or Blorange Mountains or take a short drive and explore the stunning Wye Valley, with the striking ruins of Tintern Abbey. The whole area offers numerous outdoor activities such as pony trekking, canoeing or fishing on the Wye or Usk rivers, as well as many footpaths and cycle routes that can be explored. Only an hour’s drive of Cardiff, the cultural capital city of Wales, The Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells, The Royal Forest of Dean and Bristol. Easy to reach is also the world-famous Hay-on-Wye, with its myriad of boutique-style shops, renowned book shops and Literary festival.
