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.

Everything you need in a lovely character building. David was very helpful and friendly. Found a wild swimming spot behind Skenfrith Castle and had some lovely walks with our dog.

Lovely stay. Probably not the best for a GSD noisy dog with neighbours but can't fault the place its self. Plenty of room and fields for dog walks and plenty of places to visit nearby.

Very pleasant location with much birdsong. Rural and quiet. Long established and helpful owner who had operated the Mill as a working mill before conversion. A really lovely holiday!

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!

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.

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.

Lovely cottage for small family getaway
This was our first trip away with our three month old baby and we enjoyed every minute of it. The owners are lovely and so welcoming, the walks are amazing, it is so peaceful and the scenery cannot be matched! The cottage is lovely and perfect for a couple or small family, it has everything you need a lovely short break. We look forward to returning in the future. Thank you so much Cathy x

Lovely cottage in stunning surroundings
Lovely little barn cottage suitable for a couple plus 1 child. The 2nd bed is the sofa pull out. Absolutely stunning surroundings. Forest of Dean only 15-20 drive away where we spent a lot of time. Nearest beach is straight down the motorway. Would definately recommend!! Only things that I might point out is that upstairs could do with a fan or two. It got extremely hot up there. Also maybe some carpeting or a runner on the stairs as they were quite slippy. Other than that I would recommend for a week or weekend away to anyone who wants to be surrounded by beauty.
