Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Spotlessly clean with beautiful furnishings and everything we needed. Carmen was exceptionally helpful and welcoming and we had a peaceful and relaxing stay, thank you.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday there."
I do think that a sweeping brush and a mop would be helpful because we got caught in a cloudburst and returned home dripping wet. We had to clean the floor with kitchen roll!! Plus, we could not dry our clothes because we could not switch on the radiators.
Apart from that inconvenience we thought the place was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Excellent wi-fi to watch the golf on Sky Go ! and good TV reception. Well equipped kitchen but struggled to get hot water here, o.k in toilet wash basin. Plenty to see in this rural Southern Wales location, popped in The Ship Inn at Raglan 2 miles north for a decent pint and opposite is a new Tesco Express store just about to open. Did my shopping in Usk about 5 miles south, an interesting little town. I'm bound to return to Pheasant 2 ! (or 1).

"This holiday property is an absolutely perfect base for a week in Wales."
We enjoyed the views and if it wasn't for the weather would have spent more time outdoors on the lush green grass. There's plenty to do within 10 miles and some fantastic places to eat. The only downside was we could only do one washing load for the week, athough we didn't persue the opportunity to pay for a second, and the machine itself is locked away as they mentioned that those outside of letting were using it.

It was a quiet, idyllic location with green fields all around and the view from the kitchen window was so beautiful I did not mind washing up! lol.
We had near enough everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. I would of liked to see an ironing board and iron in the property and also maybe an air fryer as easier and quicker to cook food.
Thank You Very Much we had a really comfortable, relaxed and chilled out Easter Bank Holiday Weekend.

"Following an issue with our original booking where we were double booked we were offered Pheasant Two, a bit further away from home but it turned out to be far better than we expected."
From being met by Carmen the owner as we arrived, finding a lovley warm inviting little cottage with a well equipt kitchen and fresh tea and coffee,nice comfy lounge with dining table, Freeview TV, comfy sofa and chairs to the nice powerful shower, comfy bed (we only used one...of the two available) and good wi-fi, it was everything you'd expect and wast most welcome for our first break away in nearly a year.
Lovley location and easy to get places if you have a car. Take a wander around the houses large farm which gives some lovley views over the area.
We did trips to Abergeveny, Monmouth, Usk, Raglan, Chepstow where theres some lovley walks (The Eagles Nest nr Chepstow recommended but theres a lot of steps .. hint go left from the lower car park and whilst its a steep climb up, you then come down the steps..all 380+ of them rather than have to climb up them!).
Only other thing to advise is that there are still a lot of restrictions in place so we found a lot of places closed and places to visit or restuarants/pubs a bit difficult to get into as you needed to pre-book and most were full......But all in all a lovley place and I'd recommend to anyone for a nice gentle break....

The property
This wonderful single-story cottage is situated at The Brace, a farm nestled in the countryside of rural Monmouthshire.
The semi-detached property is one half of a converted red-brick outbuilding.
Converted to a very good standard, with sleek fittings and furnishings, it would make an ideal getaway for a couple or family.
There is a contemporary kitchen within an open-plan living area with sitting and dining spaces, a large family bathroom as well as two tasteful bedrooms.
The Brace lies in a peaceful spot in the Monmouthshire countryside between Usk and Raglan, on the outskirts of the village of Llandenny. The farm plays host to two wonderful holiday cottages, The Pheasant 1 & 2. Surrounded by lawned gardens and situated adjacent to the owner’s farmhouse, the properties have been lovingly converted from a former redbrick outbuilding. Both properties are single-storey and feature a clean and contemporary interior with modern kitchens, wooden floors and tasteful furnishings. Outside there is an off-road parking space per cottage, as well as large shared lawn areas that are fenced off from the road and offer the perfect place for relaxing with kids. The cottages at The Brace are situated just outside of the village of Llandenny, a rural settlement that consists of a number of houses, a pub and plenty of walking trails. Nearby is the market town of Usk with plenty of small shops and places to eat, as well as a castle and fascinating Town Trail with 28 sites of historic interest acknowledged by Blue Plaques. Raglan is also close by with its own castle and the city of Newport is within driving distance offering plenty of modern amenities.
