"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.

"Really enjoyed our stay at The Pheasant 2."
Carmen greeted us on arrival and was very helpful. The barn was spotless and had everything we needed. Ideally located for visiting Usk, Chepstow, Tintern Abbey, Raglan, Brecon Beacons - all within easy reach. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your feedback glad you enjoyed your stay.y Property Owner

"This was our 7th visit, and we have always found it perfect for our needs."
The hosts Carmen and Husband are the perfect hosts. They are there if you need them and very friendly. We are already looking at dates to return later in the year. Can't wait.

Excellent accommodation. Very friendly owners. Would definitely return again. Thank you.

"Spacious, warm, clean and comfortable with nice hot shower."
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).

"We enjoyed our stay at Pheasant Two and the weather was perfect."
We enjoyed seeing the hay rolls being made from cutting the grass to seeing the roll come from the back of the machine, fascinating! We did Raglan Castle, Tretower Court and Chepstow Castle all well worth a visit. The owners are both very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for our stay . Gwyneth and Roy

"We loved staying at Pheasant 2, which is comfortable , well equipped and a perfect base for exploring."
Our hosts Carmen and Gwilyim are welcoming, friendly and full of information on where to shop and eat. We found plenty of places to visit without driving very far and had lovely views of the mountains from the garden. We would definitely recommend the property.

"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.
-
"This was our second stay at Pheasant two."
It is a spotlessly clean and comfortable cottage and Carmen and Gwilym are friendly and attentive hosts. The views from the cottage are spectacular and there are plenty of places nearby to visit. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family and hope to stay again in the future.
-
"Lovely spot and the hosts are on hand to help with any requests or questions."
Was spotlessly clean. Only thing that could make the experience better is some tea/coffee in the kitchen! Thanks,

"Lovely cottage Well equipped and comfortable Handy for most tourism destinations in the area Hosts were really welcoming and friendly."
Beautiful outdoor area to watch the magnificent sunrises and sunsets I would highly recommend
-
"Very helpful and friendly hosts who, though they lived less than 50 metres away, didn't intrude on us."
A small washing machine would improve the property.
BEEN MORE THAN HELPFULL TO THEIR CAR BREAKDOWN COLLECTING THEM AND ARRANGING HELP. IT SEEMS YOU CANT PLEASE EVERYONE. Property Owner

"This was our fourth stay at the Pheasant cottages, we have stayed in both one and two and both are perfect ."
Carmen and her husband are the perfect hosts. We are planning another visit in September this year. Lesley & Steve
They are a lovely couple having stayed in both cottages they so enjoy themselves in this lovely countryside. Looking forword to seeing them soon. Property Owner

"The property was easier to access and find."
The on-site owner greeted us on arrival and we were made to feel very welcome, they mentioned that the property had been recently painted throughout and was very clean. 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.
So glad Mum and son enjoyed their weekend stay in our idyllic country setting inRagland. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay in this cosy little cottage."
We were greeted by the owner on arrival and shown round both properties which was a lovely personal touch. The cottage is situated in stunning surroundings and is just a short journey away from some beautiful places such as Usk, Abergavenny and Monmouth. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

"The view from the cottage was lovely."
Had we had better weather we would have enjoyed sitting in the garden enjoying it, but the seating inside gave the same panorama. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be very likely to go again.

"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....
-

"We had a really lovely break and we found the cottage to be more than just a base from which to explore the area, it was a home from home!"
The cottage was immaculately clean, lovely fresh bedding and towels were provided and it is tastefully and attractively furnished. We felt like we could immediately unpack and relax without any worries or concerns. The cottage is very well equipped, we stayed for 4 nights and we didn’t feel that we lacked anything. The owners are very hospitable and helpful, they were available for a friendly chat and and provided useful information about the area and local facilities. As regards the surrounding area and location...absolutely stunning! The well maintained and beautiful garden just outside our front door was a real highlight! As a family who love to be outside enjoying nature and creation, having that little paradise on our doorstep really added that special something to our holiday. We would have no qualms about returning and we can not fault anything, a big thank you to the owners for doing such a wonderful job!

"Clean and well maintained holiday accommodation."
Quiet and self contained. Owner very friendly and helpful. Parking right outside, fantastic views from front windows across the Usk valley, all on one level, fully functional kitchen with microwave, fridge with top box freezer compartment, washing machine and tumble dryer in shared utility room next to accommodation, electric shower, FreeSat TV, Broadband ok for surfing and limited streaming but not high speed usage.
-

Close to a local shop, pub and a great base. The owners were lovely, live on site but never intruded. We had perfect weather and the garden was perfect to relax and enjoy the holiday.

"Some additional saucepans would be helpful, only two available one medium sized and a milk pan which made it a little problematic when trying to prepare a cooked meal."
But we had a lovely weekend, owners were really pleasant and helpful, would definitely book again in the future

"We thoroughly enjoyed our few days at 'The Pheasant' - the accommodation was well appointed, comfortable, with good facilities and easy parking."
We were 'new; to that part of Wales, but found the small towns and villages fascinating, with an abundance of castles and places of interest. The owners lived on site and were available if needed, friendly and helpful, without ever being intrusive. Delightful few days and would certainly consider returning in the future.

"We can thoroughly recommend staying at The Pheasant 2."
Recently refurbished, it is fresh, clean, modern, spacious and comfortable. Set on a farm just off the road, it is easy to access and has its own allocated parking space. The owners are welcoming, friendly and offer helpful advice about the local area. The beds are comfortable with good quality bedding and linen. The whole place is immaculately clean, well-organized and equipped with everything thing you need plus a few thoughtful extras. The location is excellent for visiting Monmouth, Abergavenny, Crickhowell, Tintern Abbey and Raglan Castle. There is a Nisa (Coop) store close by in Raglan, a Coop in Usk and a larger Morrisons in Abergavenny. We stayed here a week and hope to come back again as its convenient for a quick get away.

"Lovely cottage."
Beautiful setting. Most of all have to praise the hosts Carmen and Gwillym. So friendly and approachable. Nothing too much trouble. We will definitely make a return visit. We had such a lovely relaxing and pleasant stay. The views from the windows were breath taking. The cottage was clean, modern and had everything needed including complimentary tea coffee sugar and milk. Also provided were thick, fluffy towels, quality bed linen, hairdryer along with TV Dvd (DVDs Also) WIFI, washer and dryer and fully equipped kitchen. Thank you so much to Carmen and Gwillym. We feel like we have made new friends that we look forward to seeing again very soon.

"Wonderful place, wonderful hosts, wonderful location!"
Thank you, we will be back!
-
"A lovely, cosy cottage with great views out the front to the Brecon Beacons."
The location is good for Brecon Beacons and the Wye Valley - we enjoyed canoeing, castles and the market towns. Hosts Carmen and husband were the most friendly couple who made us feel extremely welcome. A particular highlight was when the hosts brought their tractor down to the cottage for our 4 year old son to sit in! We will be back. The pin on the location map is in the wrong place - we turned into the wrong farm. This cottage is right next to the turn for Llandenny.
-
"We had a very pleasant week long stay at The Pheasant Two."
We were meet by owners, who were very welcoming, and gave us a tour of the property. Milk, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits were provided for our stay, plus some leaflets and information about local amenities. The owners were friendly and helpful. The accommodation was well equipped and comfortable, and was set in pleasant rural surroundings. and ideal spot exploring South Wales and within reach of the Brecon Beacons The pretty town of Usk was not far away, with a well stocked small supermarket and free parking. Would recommend this property.

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
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.
