About this property

Self-Contained Converted cart house on Organic Farm in Beautiful Countryside.

Self-contained former granary to 16th century farmhouse in North Monmouthshire. The cart house has a chic, modern feel, with native oak floors and fittings set off against quirky antique furniture and contemporary glass tables. The light, airy atmosphere during the day is transformed into a cosy space for evening relaxing.
The open plan downstairs room has a plush leather sofa bed in the living area, with a large modern dining table and stylish contemporary designer mini-kitchen. Underfloor heating makes this the perfect place to practise your yoga!
The twin French windows open onto a private patio where you can sit out in the sun or watch the stars at night without light pollution, but with the warmth of your own fire pit.
Upstairs, the spacious bedroom has a large double bed with memory foam mattress for a perfect night's sleep, and a designer en-suite bathroom with power shower and twin sinks.
The views are spectacular across the farm and beyond to the iconic Skirrid mountain. We encourage guests to use the farm, walk the fields or picnic in one of the areas set aside for wildlife. If you want to help with the sheep, we'll find you a job!
Our whole ethos is to live as sustainably as possible and the electricity for the Cart House comes from a mix of wind and solar energy, with the heating provided by a super-efficient wood pellet boiler. The farm produces organic, rare breed and wholly pasture-fed sheep with no spray or fertilisers and minimal tractor use across the year. We aim to protect our soils and support a great range of wildlife.
The Cart House is a great place for a relaxed break walking in the Black Mountains, dining in local restaurants (including the nearby Michelin Starred Walnut Tree) and browsing the fascinating independent shops in nearby Abergavenny.
North Monmouthshire is renowned for its cycling on quiet lanes and rolling country roads with little traffic. For the adrenalin junkies, we are half way between Bike Park Wales and the legendary trails of the Forest of Dean and there are lots of green lanes around the far to whet your appetite. We offer locked bike storage, access to a pressure washer and plenty of local knowledge about places to go.
We can arrange additional activities, such as individual yoga lessons, wine tasting at the excellent Whitecastle Vineyard in the village, or occasional courses in furniture making, blacksmithing and cider making!
We want you to have the best time possible during your stay and will do all we can to make it happen. At the same time, we respect your privacy and will not bother you unless you want us to!

Good base to discover Black Mountains from
Nick and Sarah are very kind and hospitable hosts. We were impressed by their sheep farm. Beautiful area for walking. The cottage is a nice and comfortable place to stay. Kitchen is a bit small for tall people but sufficient for simple cooking. Recommanded as a good base to discover the Black Mountains.

Amazing Get Away from the hustle of London
Took the kids hiking at Pen y Fan. Spent two nights in an amazing Welsh farm. Our kids loved the farm dog, touring the farm and playing outside. The owners, Sara and Nick, were amazing and even allowed our children to help pick the morning eggs. We loved our stay. Highly recommended! Thanks for letting us stay!

Lovely rural property close to Abergavenny. Accommodation beautifully presented. Mini kitchen a tad squished but didn't detract from our overall break. Beautiful views over fields towards Black Mountains.

Peaceful rural location, ideal for couples
We spent a very enjoyable week here. Our friendly and helpful laid back hosts, Nick and Sarah, made us feel very welcome. The accommodation was as described and very comfortable. No TV or radio but WiFi good so we could use our laptop and smart phones. Would benefit from lighting above the small kitchenette area. Another suggestion would be to provide a 'What 3 Words' location as the property is not easy to find! Good location for exploring the Brecon Beacons area. We also enjoyed visiting Raglan Castle and Hay-on-Wye. Good choice of supermarkets in Abergavenny. We would definitely recommend this property for a short break or a week's peaceful getaway.

Exceptional cottage
Well worth a stay at this superb cottage. Nick & Sarah were so friendly and the cottage was cosy. Not far from local amenities and tourist attractions. Lovley to see farm annimals in the field next to the cottage like free range chickens,lambs and a friendly cat. Will certainly book again.

Amazing Place!
Lovely cottage on an amazing sheep farm. The cottage had everything we needed and was in a great spot for exploring the local area. Amazing master bedroom, great views of the countryside and my boys got to do some jobs around the farm which they loved. V good value for money as well. Perfect spot for escaping the hustle and bustle of London.

Weekend in Abergavenny
The property was in a nice location, was clean and well furnished. Unfortunately it was a wet weekend but we managed to do some walking. There was no TV in the house which would have been nice. There were 3 smoke alarms in the house, all of which were disconnected.

Stunning Property and lovely hosts
Well this place is an absolute Gem! From every window is the most beautiful view. The house was well equipped for a short break, comfy, homely and so peaceful. The hosts were lovely and made us feel really welcome. We arrived to a warm homemade loaf of bread, freshly cut flowers from the garden and organic eggs which were delicious. We were offered a fire pit to sit out with in the evening. There are spectacular walks in the area which are unspoilt, ancient and beautiful. We will treasure the time we spend there and would go back in a blink.... Simply lovely..Thank you so much Nick and Sarah x x x x

About the host

Hosted by Nick and Sarah

Host profile image
We live next door and run the small farm as sustainably as possible. We have organic, pasture-fed sheep, the farm is powered by renewables and we avoid any unnecessary chemical use on the farm or in our daily lives.
We want the Cart House to be a stylish, comfortable retreat from hectic work and family life, but there is fast broadband and we have a fully equipped office, if you need some space to work while you are here.

Why they chose this property

Very easy access to the Walnut Tree restaurant, great walks to Skirrid and Whitecastle, good local pub and wine tastings in the village. 50 acres to play in, too.
