    “We were slightly worried on arrival because although we knew it was small.”

    it was even smaller that we expected! That was our stupidity. However once we became acclimatized we settled in with our two large greyhounds and enjoyed our stay. Had the weather been kinder we would have enjoyed it more as we were unable to take full advantage of the outside space which is a big asset that would have increased our enjoyment hugely. It is Wales so we were not too surprised to have some wet weather. The views from the hill immediately outside of the carriage are outstandingly ...

Had the weather been kinder we would have enjoyed it more as we were unable to take full advantage of the outside space which is a big asset that would have increased our enjoyment hugely. It is Wales so we were not too surprised to have some wet weather. The views from the hill immediately outside of the carriage are outstandingly beautiful, as are the two friendly horses that live on it. It is lovely, fun, short of nothing except space, but the use made of what is available in very clever.

The property

This 100-year-old railway carriage has been converted into a shepherds-hut-style accommodation, compact and rustic, with an open-plan formation.

Plan a romantic getaway for two, or escape into the peace and quiet for some leisure time away from the hustle and bustle.

Steps lead up to the property entrance, where you can really feel the sense of character and charm inviting you inside, a lovely place to return to after an eventful afternoon.

Evenings can be spent outside relaxing in front of the fire pit toasting marshmallows with a warm cup of tea, followed by a peaceful night's sleep in the well-appointed double bedroom.

Wake up to the homely interior all over again and start your morning by preparing breakfast in the kitchen area, whilst you make plans for the day ahead.

Why not take a moment to be at one with the location by strolling out to the enclosed garden, a chance to sit back and admire the hillside views which are located before you?

The market town of Abergavenny nestles between seven mountains, with the River Usk flowing through it, resulting in beautiful scenery from every direction.

Further afield, the town boasts a castle with its own museum, churches, an indoor market hall, and a multitude of pubs and restaurants, with something for everyone.

Not forgetting the wealth of natural beauty and walks past the Wye Valley, along the Brecon Canal or within the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons).

A destination not to be missed.
