A cosy cottage, attached to the owner’s B&B and surrounded by working farmland and walks along the River Usk on the Usk Valley Walk, on the edge of the hamlet of The Bryn, just four miles from the popular town of Abergavenny. The cottage is just a short walk from the village of Penpergwm in the undulating Welsh border countryside and just a short drive away lies a hub of fantastic restaurants and one reason why many people visit the area. Set over the ground floor there are two bedrooms, one large with an en-suite family bathroom, and a smaller bedroom with full-size single bunk beds. There is an open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area and a comfy seating area with a television, where you can relax and possibly enjoy some of the delightful local produce you have picked up on your day of exploring. Outside, you can sit in the small courtyard garden and enjoy a glass of something cold, whilst discussing the day's events.

Rectory Cottage is run by Liz and Kate, mother and daughter, who live in The Old Rectory, adjacent to Rectory Cottage. Ensuring that you have a memorable and comfortable break is what we strive for. We love welcoming your dogs to our beautiful area, however, there are chickens and sheep close by, so please ensure you keep them on a lead. We allow a maximum of two well-behaved dogs in the cottage. Liz is a pet portrait watercolour artist, so if you are interested in having yours or someone else's dog painted, please do ask for details. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to your visit and we look forward to welcoming you to Rectory Cottage.
