  My husband and I loved our stay at the comfy cow.

  My only criticism would be that it is not very well sign posted. Our sat nav sent us a few miles in the wrong direction, however we phoned the contact number and the owners were friendly and happy to give us directions. We booked this to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. Everything about this property was impressive down to the quality of the crockery. No expense has been spared throughout the property and really gave the luxurious feel that we were looking for. The lock down occurred during our stay here but as we were secluded and self sufficient we were not affected, and we were able to see out of break in comfort and peace. Waking up in the morning to the amazing views of the Beacons was a delight and to actually be able to get away and feel like a proper break away from home, was so refreshing and well needed for our sanity lol. I would highly recommend this property to anybody who asked, there was nothing negative about this property and worth every penny. The owners have done a fantastic job with the Comfy Cow and it is the perfect place to get away.

  We originally intended to stay elsewhere and thank our lucky stars that that didn't work out!

  Because it wouldn't have held a candle to our glorious time at The Old Stables. The gracious, charming and witty hostess couldn't help us enough. The accommodation sports a cosy and supremely comfortable bed; the kitchen is well appointed and has everything you need to cook any meal--plus the basic condiments, cutlery and even fresh rosemary and quince jelly. The setting is sublime--peaceful, with only the sound of the nearby river Usk coursing by, an ancient forest, a carpet of copper beech leaves, two affectionate ponies in the pasture. lots of hyperbole here? Only because it's well-deserved. The Old Stables offer anything a body could want for a wonderful restorative break. Looking forward to a return.

  This is our second visit to the cottage as we loved it so much the first time we booked again this year.

  The cottage is lovely, it’s exceptionally clean and well equipped for a self catering holiday. The owners are lovely and friendly too, we chatted to them and they recommended places to visit, routes to take and good local places to eat. Since last year the cottage had been upgraded with some redecoration and an extra window added which made it even better. The location of the cottage is perfect for exploring so many different places including South Wales coast, beaches, cities, the Brecon Beacons, Gower as well as much of South West England including the Cotswolds, the coast and lots of pretty villages and stunning scenery. All together a wonderful place to stay. We will definitely visit again.

  This is an excellent property, new to the holiday let market since June 2018.

  The property is very well finished throughout with an excellent kitchen area and a superb walk-in shower in the bathroom. Its location is excellent for walking or cycling with the Brecon Beacons just 12 miles away, and excellent selection of restaurants, pubs and hotels nearby in Raglan and Usk. The owner is passionate about providing a top quality service and is keen to learn from guests how the facility can be further improved. The only thing we could think of was providing a cafetiere as we like good coffee. One general observation, broadband service in rural areas can be very intermittent, so if that service is important to you it would be worth checking it is operational before you go.

  My partner and I stayed for a week and we were so sad to have to leave!

  The cottage was cosy and gorgeous! The view was to die for and made getting up each morning an absolute joy. We were very lucky with the weather so got to sunbathe and sit outside but when the weather broke it was also amazing to sit and watch the lightning given the sheer expanse of sky. Kathy was super helpful when we couldn't get the dishwasher working and there were a few lovely treats to greet us when we arrived, which was a lovely touch. Very glad we found this place given we booked only a week before going; absolutely stunning and the cattle grazing out front were a pleasure! Would love to go to again in future and would definitely recommend it as a cosy home away from home.
