Important Things Done Right
The cottage is very well appointed, with a really comfortable bed, luxury bathroom, modern wood burner, comfy chairs; everything you need to feel at home. The owners went out of their way to make sure everything was to our liking. And the location is ideal whether you want walking, fine dining and other great places to eat and drink or exploring this part of Wales. It's also surprisingly easy to get to yet quiet and secluded.

Idyllic location
Just returned from a four night stay in this lovely cottage. The location is stunning,with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside. The cottage itself is extremely well appointed and equipped- we had everything we needed for our stay. Julian is the perfect host. Attentive and there if you need him, but never intrusive. We would love to stay here again and would definitely recommend the property to others looking for a relaxing break, away from it all in a beautiful location.

loving the view
The view is stunning. Lovely clean place. Host friendly but left us to ourselves - just what we like - but was always available if we needed anything. Good place to base ourselves as we wanted to have a good look at the surrounding area - near and far.

Fantastic stay
My partner and I stayed here a few nights recently. Beautiful location on a farm, the cottage is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Julian was a fantastic host, offering advice on the area and allowing us to explore his farm grounds, with beautiful gardens, and vegetable patch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and many thanks to Julian. Highly recommend!

About the host

Host profile image
I was born and grew up in this area. I have worked here all my life as a Solicitor until retirement 5 years ago. Clock cottage forms part of but is seperate from our small 75 acre farm and has its own lawned and walled area with lovely views over the Graig Hill to the northwest. We brought up our four children here and it has been a wonderful family home to which they are all drawn in spite of having grown up and married and they bring their children back here as often as they are able. I think that this part of the World is one of the most beautiful and everytime that I return here from other parts of the World I consider myself very blest and lucky to live here. We are all keen walkers and cyclists and spend a lot of our leisure time walking and cycling throughout the area. We are very close to Offas Dyke path and to White Castle and one can walk 'The Three Castles 'walk from here, about twenty miles taking in White, Grosmont and Skenfrith Castles in a large circular walk or do it over a couple of days in sections.
