Two comfortable Welsh cottages with a great view and a superb touring location!

 

 

THE ACCOMMODATIONS: Black Mountain Cottages are roomy, comfortable accommodations for up to 6 persons on two floors of two beautiful Welsh stone farm buildings that are side-by-side. The buildings have been carefully renovated to maintain the authentic stone 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 TV. The cottages share a secludedgarden 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.

Day trips throughout Wales, including visits to Cardiff, Caerphilly, Tintern Abbey, Merthyr Tydfyl, the Brecon Beacons National Park, and several of the

                                              great little trains of Wales, are reachable from the Abergavenny area.
