Situated in one of the few completely quiet places in the UK, Becher's Cottage is perfect for a country holiday. The cottage is close to the farmhouse but entirely self-contained, fully equipped for 4 people in comfort (with a sofa bed for an extra 1 or 2). It is surrounded by pasture fields, ancient hedges and oak trees, with far-reaching views. There are marked walks close by or you can stroll around the farm. You will see sheep and cattle and our thoroughbred racehorses grazing peacefully and there is a bluebell wood and streams with wild flowers, birds and bees. The market towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny are a short drive away along quiet country roads with lots of shops selling local produce and crafts. Sightseeing, castles, rivers and lakes, golf, walking, fishing, canoeing, cycling, are all easy to arrange and visit. Monmouthshire is becoming the food capital of Wales, with wonderful restaurants catering for all tastes and purses. Capital city Cardiff, about an hour away, is a major centre and the Bay area is a vibrant development with plenty to do and see including, of course, Dr Who. Rugby and horseracing are within easy reach and Newport will host the 2010 Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor Resort, about 35 minutes drive away. All in all, this is a cottage for the best type of family holiday, whether you wish to be active or just relax and enjoy the scenery.
