Important Things Done Right

The cottage is very well appointed, with a really comfortable bed, luxury bathroom, modern wood burner, comfy chairs; everything you need to feel at home. The owners went out of their way to make sure everything was to our liking. And the location is ideal whether you want walking, fine dining and other great places to eat and drink or exploring this part of Wales. It's also surprisingly easy to get to yet quiet and secluded.

Idyllic location

Just returned from a four night stay in this lovely cottage. The location is stunning,with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside. The cottage itself is extremely well appointed and equipped- we had everything we needed for our stay. Julian is the perfect host. Attentive and there if you need him, but never intrusive. We would love to stay here again and would definitely recommend the property to others looking for a relaxing break, away from it all in a beautiful location.

The view is stunning. Lovely clean place. Host friendly but left us to ourselves - just what we like - but was always available if we needed anything. Good place to base ourselves as we wanted to have a good look at the surrounding area - near and far.

Fantastic stay

My partner and I stayed here a few nights recently. Beautiful location on a farm, the cottage is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Julian was a fantastic host, offering advice on the area and allowing us to explore his farm grounds, with beautiful gardens, and vegetable patch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and many thanks to Julian. Highly recommend!

Nice cottage but....

The cottage was nice in size and had all the equipment required but the problem we found was the woodlice and spiders / cobwebs, we understand the cottage is in the country but there was quite a few dead woodlice and cobwebs that were really old and should have been removed during the pre cleaning before our arrival .

Relaxed and comfortable

Julian was a fab host with good communication ahead of journey. We had one small problem which he was very happy to help us with. The accommodation had an amazing bath and fire to warm ourselves post a wet walk and the bed was comfortable which is a rare find so sleep was good. Lovely location, plenty of walks a short drive to Abergavenny.

A lovely second stay

Thanks for another delightful stay Julian. A quiet new year week we spent in the cottage marking our second stay. We were delighted to note the cottage was quite warm despite the weather. Being in south wales, there’s certainly no guarantee of sunshine, and actually for us we were both indoors quite a lot this time, but the clock cottage served as a nice home away from home and we’d certainly come here again. The living room is cosy, we certainly made use of the log fire and there’s a new smart TV for those who are so inclined. The kitchen is easily equipped enough for a weeks’ stay with a gas hob, oven, toaster, kettle and microwave. The shower room is lovely and warm, and the bedroom is light and airy, with a large comfortable bed. We’ll be seeing you again!

Perfect place for two in idyllic surroundings

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay here. The property is private with amazing views and was a real home from home. The surrounding area is wonderful and the people we met were very friendly. There are plenty of great walks on the door step. Abergavenny, 10 minutes away by car, is a lovely Market Town with lots of places to eat has all the usual amenities. The owners are very friendly and welcoming but always respectful of privacy. The accommodation has everything you need and the log burner is amazing. Wifi was perfect. We hope to visit again soon.

Relaxing short break in a great location

We had a great stay and it is in a lovely location. Everything you need is there including logs for the fire, a roll top bath and really comfy bed!! Always good to have a great owner who met us to go through everything. Location is great for getting around - Abergavenny is a few minutes away, Hereford 45 mins and Cardiff about an hour. Abergavenny is a great town and we wished we had more times to try all the restaurants! Full of high street and local independent shops For a special occasion the Michelin star Walnut Tree Inn is five minutes from the accommodation. Highly recommend this accommodation

Cosy cottage in a beautiful location

Booked a last-minute getaway at this cute cottage and had a great time exploring the beautiful Welsh countryside. Great walks from your doorstep, plus castles and pretty towns to explore. Recommend the waterfalls trail in the Brecon Beacons, the climb from Crickhowell to Table Mountain and Sunday lunch at the lovely Hunter's Moon pub, which is a pleasant 40-minute walk from the cottage. Julian is a fabulous host - thank you for accommodating us at such short notice, and for the apples!

About the host

Hosted by J Fonseca

I was born and grew up in this area. I have worked here all my life as a Solicitor until retirement 5 years ago. Clock cottage forms part of but is seperate from our small 75 acre farm and has its own lawned and walled area with lovely views over the Graig Hill to the northwest. We brought up our four children here and it has been a wonderful family home to which they are all drawn in spite of having grown up and married and they bring their children back here as often as they are able. I think that this part of the World is one of the most beautiful and everytime that I return here from other parts of the World I consider myself very blest and lucky to live here. We are all keen walkers and cyclists and spend a lot of our leisure time walking and cycling throughout the area. We are very close to Offas Dyke path and to White Castle and one can walk 'The Three Castles 'walk from here, about twenty miles taking in White, Grosmont and Skenfrith Castles in a large circular walk or do it over a couple of days in sections.

Why they chose this property

It is very pretty,cosy,light and airy and convenient to so many local attractions. It has been beautifully refurbished and is in a very beautiful rural location. Abergavenny hosts the National Eistedfodd in 2016 and Hay Festival, Brecon Jazz, Abergavenny Food Festival are all within easy distance. We are only 40 miles or an easy train Journey of 40 minutes from Cardiff which has a very good shopping centre and a wonderful museum and Art gallery. There are numerous good restaurants nearby including, The Walnut tree, The Crown at Whitebrook, The Bell at Skenfrith, The 1860, The Hardwick as well as good hotel and Pub restaurants such as The Angel in Abergavenny,The Bear in Crickhowell, The Skirrid Mountain Inn, supposedly the oldest Pub in Wales, and our very own local, The Hunters Moon. Crickhowell hosts a Literary and Walking Festival and is within 30 minutes drive.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage is spacious and light and has a very nice feel to it. It is an easy living space.
