up to 6 persons on two floors of two beautiful Welsh stone farm buildings that are

work and open beams. The two cottages sleep 4 or 6 comfortably in two and three bedrooms
respectively. Each cottage has an open living room, fully-equipped kitchen with dining
area, plus a full bathroom with shower. Both well-equipped, tastefully furnished cottages
include microwave,
stove, and color |

cottages share a secluded garden with table and chairs. There is private
parking next to the cottages.
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. |
