Second time of staying. Would totally recommend this cottage if you want to be away from everything, towns, people etc. but within easy reach of Abergavenny etc. Be aware that the garden is not enclosed if you have a dog ( not that that is an issue for us ), also there is a connecting door to the owners house via a porch/cloakroom area but again not an issue as never heard next door. Owners are friendly and approachable but leave you to yourself and you holiday. Can't wait to go back. 👍😊

We had a lovely pre Christmas weekend getaway at Greig House Farm. The living area was cozy and we were kept lovely and warm on wintery nights with a delightful log fire. The bedroom and bathroom were nice and clean, we got several lovely nights sleep. The house was a little hard to find as the google maps pin isn’t the most accurate, but the written directions about the pick house help me find the place! Would love to stay again and would highly recommend to others :)
