THE OWNER/HOSTESS: The friendly owner of the cottage lives in a separate part of the complex and serves as a welcoming, informative on-site hostess eager to help visitors appreciate the history and charm of the area.

THE SETTING: Black Mountain Cottages are on a former farm estate on a hillside overlooking the sizeable town of Abergavenny in southeastern Mid-Wales (see map). Abergavenny has a great variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and pubs, a recreation center, theater, parks, gardens, and a passenger train station, all about five minutes drive from the cottages. With their impressive viewpoint over top of the town, these comfortable stone cottages are the perfect Welsh home away from home.
