Fantastic little cottage
A wonderful cottage with views of the nearby fields. The hosts Janet and Mike were so lovely greeting us on arrival, and making us feel very welcomed. We only wished we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful Cottage
If we could give this more than 5 stars we would. The hosts met us with welcoming smiles and showed us all we needed to know about the cottage. The kitchen and bathrooms were modern and extremely functional and did not detract from the quaintness and character of the rest of the cottage. We enjoyed sitting in front of the wood burner in the living room on our return from excursions in the evening and early mornings before heading out for the day. it was so peaceful and quiet there, nestled into the hillside and a great place to relax from the day-to-day hustle of modern life. Even the sheep in the field above and Millie, their dog, seemed pleased to welcome new company. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Secluded paradise
Just back from a wonderful weekend at Forest Cottage. Lovely quaint cottage in a secluded spot. We stay all over UK in these type of properties and this one is far superior, in our opinion, than many others we have stayed. The Hosts are friendly and accommodating, nothing too much trouble and not intrusive (live in detached house next door but not so close). It was so, so lovely listening to the many varieties of bird in the daytime and the Bats and Owls at night (so relaxing). For us main positive over other hosts is that literally EVERYTHING is in the house (towels, bedding, pots, pans, plates, condiments, tea bags, kitchen roll, toilet rolls, etc, etc but most important unlimited supply of Logs for the woodburner). which is very important in a cold winter weekend. Most Holiday homes with woodburner only have , maybe 1 basket of logs ? - so you have to bring your own. Literally, just bring food and drink and away you go. GREAT. The two tips I would suggest are - the 18th century staircase could be challenging for those with limited mobility and although the hosts directions to arrive at the secluded cottage are spot on, I would recommend taking a look at google street map before you set off for your stay. Overall, I cannot recommend this accommodation enough.

Perfect place in a perfect settinh
We were warmly greeted by Janet who gave us a detailed run through of the cottage. They'd lit the fire before we got there. Very clean & tidy, very cosy too even in January. The staircase would be difficult for children or people with mobility issues. The main bedroom is really cozy, the bed was super comfy & the whole place just has a tranquil peaceful feel to it. The scenery is stunning & you feel like there's no one else for miles, but you're just 15 minutes from Usk. They've provided everything you need & are on hand should you need assistance. Delightful, exceptional 18th cottage that totally lives up to it's billing. Janet was lovely too, she came by on the morning we were leaving, told us not to rush off if we didn't need to, what a fabulous host. I would highly recommend stopping here if you get the chance.

Cosy cottage in rolling hills
We had a fantastic couple of days here, the cottage was really cosy and the wood burning stove was great. Nestled in the edge of a woodland with views across the hills the cottage has the feeling of getting away from it all despite being at the end of the owners garden and only 10minute drive to usk.

Absolute charm and beauty
Exceptional at all levels, very clean and well furnished, the location, views and garden beauty are beyond words. I highly recommend with a note about the fact that it is a bit difficult to manage the little (beautiful) stone stairs to the upper floor where the bedrooms are located if you are not very mobile; I enjoyed all details and the wood stove. Cannot get much better than this.

Stunning views.
Fantastic views of the valley from either of the sitting areas. Friendly hosts. As others have said, stairs are very narrow at the top, but to be expected for the type of place it is. Perfect place for a very relaxing couple days. Could not recommend more.
