A really lovely place. Quiet and peaceful. Friendly and knowledgeable host, and it all went really smoothly. The cottage had excellent facilities, was in a lovely location, plenty of parking, walks on the doorstep and the garden was secure for our dog which is extremely important. Next time we need some peace and quiet and a few good nights' sleep we will be back.

Lovely stay

We stayed here for 5 days and were very pleased with the property. The surrounding area was lovely to take our dogs walking and plenty of places to visit a short drive away. The property manager was very helpful and polite. We would definitely stay here again.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

Hi Mary, Firstly apologies for not reponding to your comments earlier. I am sorry you found the settee so uncomfortable. I must admit having bought it new only a few months ago, we were slightly disappointed at the size but found it quite comfortable. As it is bespoke I have been in touch with the suppliers to follow this up. I am pleased you enjoyed the setting and views. Best wishes, Cathy

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.
