About this property
Raglan 5.8 miles. A fabulous converted bull pen, The Comfy Cow commands outstanding views over the Black Mountains and the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), sitting in a quiet and serene location in Llansoy near Raglan in Monmouthshire. A romantic retreat for two awaits with an unspoilt landscape to provide the background to your couples adventure. Completed to a high quality specification and decorated with quirky cow-themed touches throughout, The Comfy Cow is a joy to stay in. Glass doors open out from the open-plan living space where you can prepare a meal for two in the sleek kitchen, dine at the country style breakfast table or relax on the sofa to watch the wall-mounted Smart TV. Step out onto the patio in the morning with a cup of coffee and wake up with the world. The patio is complete with outdoor furniture and a charcoal barbecue/fire pit to keep you warm in the evening. The bedroom which holds a king-size bed has a rustic exposed beam and exposed brick walls, original features of this farm building, paired perfectly with the vibrant interior furnishings. Adjoined to the bedroom is the spacious bathroom, complete with a separate bath and walk-in shower, basin, WC and a heated rail to keep your towel toasty, before you slip into the luxury dressing gowns provided by the owner. There are many fantastic walks and cycle routes straight from the door, with bikes able to be stored in the shed provided for guests. Five castles are situated within the surrounding area; Chepstow has the oldest stone built castle in the land, and Tintern is home to its majestic Tintern Abbey with its stunning setting on the banks of the River Wye. The river offers a perfect way to explore by walking or cycling alongside it, meeting the River Severn down at Chepstow. Monmouthshire is the food capital of Wales and as such you are never far from a wealth of good eateries and farm shops; head to the market towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny to sample some of the local produce or enjoy a drink. For an idyllic spot for two, The Comfy Cow is the perfect pick for a break in South Wales.
Set within the rolling countryside of Monmouthshire in South Wales is the quaint, rural village of Raglan. Here you can find a small selection of shops and pubs, as well as a local fish and chip shop. The Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park) is just a short drive away and is a haven for walkers and cyclists, with miles of trails and routes to explore. The Wye Valley lies to the east and local towns worth visiting include Monmouth, Abergavenny and Usk.

As previous people mentioned the slippery shower we brought our own shower mat which was just as well as one wasnât available. Loved every minute of our stay and will definitely return.

Views westwards towards the Black Mountains from the property were to die for. Secluded, the Comfy Cow had all we needed for a deeply relaxing break.

We did have a few minor problems which will probably have been rectified by now. First tragedy was that the can opener didn't work. I usually take mine with us, but had forgotten. When I tried to use the oven, blue smoke came billowing out of it. The toilet seat didn't fit the pan which meant you could pinch yourself when you sat. The shower had no mat, so was slippery. Agree with the person who said the signage wasn't good. We had to ring the owner because we had missed the hidden entrance to the track. We did really enjoy our very lazy stay though.
