It is a converted stone barn that is located on a traditional pasture farm of small fields abound by ancient hedgerows, where horses, cattle and sheep peacefully graze. The cottage has been awarded Five Stars by VisitWales and provides the perfect place for exploring Monmouthshire, the South Wales coast, the Wye Valley, the Brecon Beacons, the Royal Forest of Dean, the Welsh valleys and the English Marches.
There are castles, historic houses and gardens, exhibitions, museums, arts and crafts, wildlife, walking, sightseeing and cycling to be enjoyed. For the more adventurous there are mountains and caves, lakes and rivers, ironworks and mines just waiting to be explored.
This is the perfect place for a relaxing break away where you can escape the pressures of everyday life in a wonderful rural and tranquil retreat. It is ideal for those seeking peace and quiet and offers the chance to enjoy the beautiful rolling countryside by foot, bike, and on horseback (livery can be offered if you would like to bring your own horse).
The area offers excellent golf courses nearby and horseracing at Chepstow and Hereford. Becher's Cottage is just six miles from Monmouth and approximately nine miles from Abergavenny. Both of these historic market towns offer plenty of interesting things to see and do along with shops and eating establishments.
Becher's Cottage is perfectly located in one of the quietest parts of the country, close to the English Border, amongst beautiful rolling Welsh countryside, on a typical family farm. Guests are welcome to walk around the farm and enjoy the wonderful views all around and there are footpaths allowing you to explore the area on foot.
