Fantastic stay
This was our second time staying at the cottage and it was as beatifull as the first. The cottage it very clean and well equipped, with plenty of clean towels and toiletries. The hot tub is a luxurious and welcomed extra to the cottage. It is immaculate and chemicals are checked daily. The views from the hot tub are breath taking, it's truly relaxing. And the owners.....well where do I start? Mike and Janet are 2 of the nicest people we have ever met. Nothing is too much hassle, from information regarding the local area to offers of lifts to and from town. Can not wait to go back next year, this time with the children.
Beautiful cottage with great views
A last minute booking for the end of the half term. The cottage was beautiful and in a quiet location with great views. The cottage was clean and very well presented. There are many attractions worth visiting fairly close to the cottage such as the Big pit coal mine tour and museum in Pontypool, which is also free, is well worth a visit. We took our 2 dogs and there was great walks by the cottage and a large reservoir is a short drive away which can be walked round although we did visit the reservoir but didn't attempt the long walk round it. Mike and Janet were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much for them and were there to help with anything. One of the main attractions at the cottage was the hot tub, which Mike happily showed us how to use, which we did every day. It's in a perfect location to see the views over the hills and in the distance the Brecon Beacons. We really enjoyed our break, the cottage and the hosts and have already booked a week in the summer.
A little slice of paradise
We have just returned from a three day break and feel refreshed, relaxed and ready to face the world again. The cottage is beautiful, extremely clean and very well presented. The location is stunning and the views are absolutely breath taking whether it be fine or overcast. The directions to the cottage were very clear and easy to follow. The cottage is well positioned to visit many surrounding attractions – a beautiful reservoir is a short drive away. Or if you enjoy walking, there are an abundance of routes to suit all abilities just on the doorstep. Nothing was too much trouble for Mike and Janet. They were generous hosts who went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our break to the full. Although we didn’t use the hot tub, it is in a perfect location just above the cottage to enjoy an amazing panorama of the Welsh countryside. The clay pigeon shooting is also definitely worth a go. We would unreservedly recommend this property and plan to visit again in the near future.
Beautiful cottage .. Disappointed over customer se
Owner phoned at 3.30 just as we were about to set off for our wkend in Forest Cottage .. He informed us that the hot tub was broken and wouldn't be working at all over the wkend as parts were needed .. My 5 yr old Geandson was so disappointed ( stood in his armbands lol ) .. I asked Michael if I could call him straight back after I spoke to my family to see what they wanted to do .. My husband chose this cottage originally for the hot tub which it is listed under and also describes in the facilities , as having a hot tub .. It's a 4 hr drive for us so my hubby asked if maybe we could have a discount with the last minute news of no hot tub .. The owner refused which we had no problem with and he promised to honour our deposit if we chose to rebook at a later date when hot tub was repaired .. We were very happy with this outcome as Grandson was hugely disappointed .. We have been to this cottage before and considered michael and Janet fantastic hosts and also our friends ... Since trying to rebook to take our Grandson we have been told very rudely they will no longer honour our deposit as our fault for cancelling at last minute .. Also apparently the hot tub is not advertised on the website they informed me .. Which I find ludicrous .. Very very shoddy treatment .. They can have the deposit obvs money comes before gd will or customer service !!!.. Original biokibg was in April
Lovely cottage,stunning location.
Just spent a week at this lovely cottage which benefits from being in a stunning location. You have to try the hot tub. Had great weather but you get a feel whatever the weather or time of year it still be stunning. If you are going with the dog ( forest on the door step , owners are dog lovers so are more than happy to advise where to go. ) or just enjoy walking there loads, never got to go to all the places I had planned. ( good excuse to go back ). The owners Janet and Mike are a lovely couple and are very approachable.
Absolute Heaven
The views are excellent and such a peaceful place to be away from it all, fully recommend staying here, Mike and Janet are the perfect owners they are there for help if you need anything, Fresh Eggs, Tuition with shooting or directions to the Carpenters Arms (The food is very Good) Looking forward to returning again it was lovely there! Many thanks to Mike and Janet
Location
Outstanding views over pasture land incorporating the Usk Valley. Close to a number of golf courses. Great for ramblers, hikers and cyclists. Short easy drive to local amenities, Cardiff is less than 30 minutes by car. Big Pit , Sugar Loaf mountain and Breacon Beacons are all close to hand. If you fancy a try at clay pigeon shooting, we have the facilities within our grounds with all equipment included and instruction by Mike who is an experienced competition clay pigeon shooter. The cottage has Wi-Fi.
