A newly renovated cottage in the grounds of a country house near Abergavenny & the beautiful Black Mountains - featured in Conde Nast Traveller's Best Airbnbs in the UK. The space Court Cottage was once part of the stable yard of the country house to which it belongs. We have recently refurbished it - turning it into a lovely cottage that retains the original roof beams, stone walls & arched windows. Outside, there is plenty of private space - including a pretty courtyard next to the main house, with a table and chairs. Guests can also use the South facing kitchen garden - where there's a bench that's a great place to read a book or take in the views of rolling countryside. There's space to store bikes under cover and an outside tap to wash down bikes, boots and wellies. Inside, you walk straight into the sitting room, which is open to the roof eaves. It has two comfy sofas piled with cushions, a wood burner for chillier days, a digital TV & DVD player, a selection of board games and lots of books & local guides. Through the old pine double doors is the cosy bedroom. It has a king size bed with pure cotton bed linen and a blanket woven from local wool. The bedroom has plenty of hanging space and a chest of drawers (and lots of room under the bed for suitcases etc). There's a digital radio on one of the bedside tables, usb plug sockets and also a hair dryer. Next door is the stylish en-suite bathroom, with a roll-top bath and separate shower. White cotton towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap and shower gel are provided. There's a socket for electric toothbrushes or shavers. The kitchen leads off the sitting room. It has painted cupboards and a marble worktop, together with a kitchen table for two. A large antique pine storage cupboard houses everything you'll need to cook up a feast. There is a microwave, induction hob & oven, fridge with ice box, dishwasher and washing machine. Salt, pepper, tea, instant coffee and sugar are provided. There’s also a nespresso machine & cafetière. We also provide a clothes drying rack, iron and ironing board as well as tea towels, washing powder, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid. There is wifi throughout the cottage. There is central heating throughout & we also provide a first basket of logs & kindling for the wood burner. Guest access Court Cottage is in the grounds of a country house which lies on the edge of the village of Llanvapley. You'll come up the shared drive and park in a large shared parking area. Thereafter, you're in your own space - walking through an arched gate into a private courtyard where the cottage is situated. The kitchen garden, with views over rolling countryside, is also available to guests. The cottage is close to the main house, but is entirely separate. Other things to note We have a friendly whippet who you may see wandering around. But I'm afraid we don't allow pets in the cottage. Please, no smoking in the cottage. Mobile reception can be patchy.
