Lovely stay

We stayed here for 5 days and were very pleased with the property. The surrounding area was lovely to take our dogs walking and plenty of places to visit a short drive away. The property manager was very helpful and polite. We would definitely stay here again.

everything we wished for

Just returned from a weeks stay at The Mill and enjoyed every minute, a lovely comfortable barn conversion with everything we required. Cathy and Dave are such a nice couple and very helpfull giving us advice on walks and local attractions. If eating out, don't miss 'Warwicks' country pub at Tal-y-Coed, about 10 mins in car, great food and very welcoming. Thanks to Cathy & Dave for a great week.

Gorgeous & quaint cottage with beautiful views and even better hosts!

We've had the absolute pleasure of staying at David's property for a few weeks, due to our home move falling through. A last minute request (with an incredibly prompt response!) and we couldn't have been luckier to stumble across this wonderful cottage. It's not only beautiful and cosy but also neat, clean & with all the amenities to keep us comfortable but more importantly it's been an absolute haven for us whilst we sorted our next step - I've not wanted to leave! David and Cathy are wonderful hosts, are so hospitable & what should've been a stressful period has truly been a delight. I can't recommend Penylan Farm enough, for short or longer stays!

Quiet Location with lovely views

Mill Cottage at Penylan Farm was warm and comfortable with good facilities, the wifi was reliable and the location enjoys amazing views across the surrounding countryside. Dave out host was very friendly and helpful. The Farm is on a narrow lane, which we got used to driving along. It's 20 minutes from Monmouth and the Wye Valley where there are lots of places to walk, such as Symonds Yat and the Forest of Dean. Monmouth is good for shopping and plenty of coffee shops. We booked the cottage for 28 nights and found the cottage a bit small for our length of stay. The only negatives for us were the lack of opening windows in the bedroom and the disappointing outdoor table and seats which were not the same quality as shown on the website.

I’m general everything was good

Although the cottage was beautiful and suited us perfectly the downside, I’m sorry to say, was just how uncomfortable the seating was. A 2 seater sofa is not big enough for 2 adults ! Very small and extremely uncomfortable. 2 wooden dining chairs were no substitute for escaping the sofa. Such a shame as it spoilt the overall experience of a short break. Lovely setting Great views

Lovely bolt hole in Welsh countryside

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Mill, which was very pleasant and comfortable. It was well-equipped and cosy, and we really enjoyed the peace and quiet after busy days hill climbing or exploring the surrounding towns. Cath and Dave were friendly and helpful hosts, and we would not hesitate to return there one day.

Absolutely stunning environment to relax and explore this part of Wales.

We stayed in Mill Cottage and its presentation was immaculate and contained everything we needed for a short/long stay. Cathy was very warm and welcoming and very happy to help out with access to her printer when I unexpectedly had ‘urgent’ business to conclude. After a long day out exploring this part of Wales my partner and I looked forward to returning ‘home’. I hope we can return one day!

Cozy comfortable holiday home

A delight that the weather was with us all week. The area around 'The Mill' is beautiful and the wider area including the forest of dean is one of our favourite places to visit. We had a week that was full of fun, whether shopping in Monmouth and Abergavenny or walking through wonderful countryside by the Wye valley.

About the host

Hosted by David Bowen

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. Monmouthshire has recently been named the top food destination in Wales, with friendly local hostelries and Michelin starred restaurants. 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.
