Great time at Wales

David’s cottage was excellent! We traveled all the way from Pennsylvania and had a true Wales experience. The Cider House was clean, a bit out of the way, but once there we enjoyed ourselves immensely. David was also a great host and very friendly to speak with.

We had a lovely stay in Ciderhouse Cottage. As a family with a disabled child, the wide doorways, step free ground level bedroom and wetroom were brilliant. Clean, well equipped with comfy beds and super quiet location, we may well return!

Relaxing and calm

A lovely cottage in a tranquil setting. Cathy was great and very helpful. Cottage had everything we needed. Even though you are a bit rural, there are a few other buildings around you and it only took about 10 minutes to Monmouth which has plenty of shops. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nice cottage in beautiful surroundings

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage is cosy and specious. Everything you need is there. The view from the hill is stunning. Nice walks from the cottage. As to the area of South Wales: it was difficult to keep our teenagers engaged and busy all week. A week in these surroundings was a little long for the boys.

Wonderful country cottage

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful little cottage. Plenty of room with the bedrooms and 6 beds. We were in the muscle of a heat wave but the owners supplied fans and made sure to do everything to keep us comfortable. Nice welcome basket and she brought us milk for our morning coffee along with delicious farm fresh eggs!

Rural Tranquility

We could not have enjoyed our stay at the Ciderhouse Cottage any more! It was perfect for our needs, very clean, comfortable and practical without any unnecessary frills. The setting is wonderful and there is plenty of access to great local pubs, restaurants, shops in Monmouth while you can retreat to your own little cottage far from the noisy world. Dave was a wonderful host and especially kind and forbearing with my teenage daughters who showed a keen interest in his farm and Nell, the farm dog. We did local walks which were easy access and beautiful as well as day trips to Abergavenny, the Forest of Dean and Hay on Wye - all easy to reach.I hope that we can find an excuse to come back and we greatly appreciated the stay!

Cider House

Very nice. Poor directions best and simple access is from Monmouth. Not Ragland, some of the country roads from other access points are single track roads. get to Monmouth and then load satnav with NP25 5NL Water very hot in taps could do with warning sticker. Wet room very good, however no seat. Gravel drive is not wheelchair friendly and would benefit from concrete slabs from disabled parking area to Cider house cottage. Owner very pleasant and friendly. We had a lovely week.

Our stay at Llangattock-Vibon-Avel

We really enjoyed our time at Cider House Cottage. We found several places to visit near at hand. The children enjoyed being on a farm and being able to play ball games and frisbee in the field. The accommodation was good, well equipped and comfortable. The hosts were friendly and called in several times to make sure all was working well. The views were lovely. We all had a great holiday.

Great house in very quiet location

This is a lovely house. Very well equipped, totally clean and with a lovely bright yet traditional atmosphere. Would definitely come again. Take good notice of the driving instructions and preferably locate it on the map before leaving, the post code is close but not spot on.

Nice to be with family in a lovely home from home. I do think 1 cupboard in the kitchen needs to be empty to put your own things in food etc as I couldn't do this I ended up leaving some stuff behind

About the host

Host profile image
We started self catering at Penylan Farm to open up our beautiful part of the world with visitors aiming to make them feel as at home and at peace here as we do. We do our best to make your visit one to remember, providing local knowledge on great places to visit, tourist attractions and seasonal events, and of course the best places to eat.

We’ll point you towards great locale produce and Dave will happily explain his approach to sustainable farming and biodiversity.

Why they chose this property

Penylan Farm enjoys a hilltop setting atop of the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside. We are just 5 miles from the medieval market town of Monmouth, birth place of Henry V and are nestled between Abergavenny, the Wye Valley, Forest of Dean, Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. On our immediate doorstep is the historic Hendre Estate which was the family home the Rolls family (of Rolls-Royce fame). Local footpaths connect to Offa’s Dyke or you can follow one of our own custom designed walks from the farm exploring the history of The Rolls Family. Once you have recharged your batteries there are plenty of local activities to keep you going including water sports on the River Wye (voted the public’s favourite river in England and Wales) and cycling in the Forest of Dean, or along the ‘Peregrine Trail’ following the Wye to Symonds Yat. We have done the leg-work for you, find something for everyone, at any pace, at any point of the year, just ask us for tips.

What makes this property unique

Escape the hustle and enjoy Penylan’s more gentle pace of life, in one of our three charming self catering cottages. Spend your holiday on our farm in unspoilt hilltop tranquility, ten minutes from the historic market town of Monmouth. Awake to the sound of the bird song, take in the fresh welsh air and enjoy wonderful local walks and panoramic views from our small working farm focussed on environmental stewardship.
