About the home

Sleeps 4, 2 bedrooms. Cwm Cayo Mill Cottage is a traditionally restored and totally unique Tudor mill cottage, part of the Usk Castle estate. The cottage is situated at the end of a secret valley only a mile from the town of Usk; it is reached along a private lane and sits on the banks of a small tributary of The River Usk. The cottage and adjoining farmhouse is set in over a hundred acres of mixed woodland with miles of uninterrupted walking and its own woodland garden, over a wooden bridge on the other side of the brook. The cottage manages to combine the ancient and the modern very successfully with a new kitchen and excellent central heating yet retaining all the character of a 17th century riverside mill/cottage.

Cottage accommodation

The kitchen has an electric hob and oven, a fridge and a freezer, dishwasher and microwave. There is a downstairs utility room/tack room (for visitors who may wish to bring horses to take advantage of the excellent riding). The sitting room is open to the sloping ceiling and a glass balustraded open galley has double sofa bed. There is a large woodburning stove, cream leather sofa and chairs and a TV with Satellite, Digi box and DVD.

The cottage is entered through a conservatory overlooking the Cayo Brook - with views right down the brook and up into the woods. This is where the dining table is - lovely to sit there in the evening watching the wild life on the river and the water tumbling down the falls.

Bedroom 1: with Twin Beds or can be converted to a double zip and link bed with a downstairs bathroom. The bathroom in the cottage is "the piece de resistance" with an ORIGINAL RED TELEPHONE BOX CONVERTED PROFESSIONALLY TO A WALK-IN SHOWER UNIT. There is also a loo with a matching red seat! A handbasin and a claw foot bath. This bathroom is so original it makes you want to laugh and then have a shower!!!

Up an ancient curved stairwell with handmade steps to the balcony that overlooks the sitting room, with a large cartwheel lamp, to

Bedroom 2: master bedroom with a double bed, that can be converted to a twin and a handbasin and toilet.

There is a meadow by the farmhouse and use of a farm building. Drying room and storage for tack. Local livery yards have arenas to hire, there is also an indoor riding school and tuition locally. There is the British Horse Society (The Three Rivers Ride) in the Black Mountains.

Visit the farm animals

Cwm Cayo Farm is traditionally a mixed farm with almost 500 acres of mixed pasture and woodland, with cattle and sheep where visitors are able to see seasonal activities like lambing, haymaking and shearing.

Many places and activities to visit

Many places and activities of interest to visitors are easily accessible from Usk - in 45 minutes you can, going east: visit the Forest of Dean (cycling, walking, Go Ape), going west: reach the Brecon Beacons, going north: drive to Hereford (Mappa Mundi), and going south get to Bristol (theatre, etc). Trains to Newport or Abergavenny, buses less frequently from Newport and Monmouth.

The cottage is delightful with all the timber used in the restoration being home harvested from the Usk Castle Estate grounds, there is a long window seat in the conservatory of Pacific Redwood, gallery using Yew, beams of Douglas, doors of Chestnut and windows of Oak.

The scenic and ancient small town of Usk has ten pubs and several excellent places to eat; this would be an excellent location for The Celtic Manor and The Ryder Cup being only 2 miles from the marshalls' car park. This is a great cottage for a weekend as it is only 20 minutes from The Severn Bridge.

The South Wales / Cardiff/Newport/Glamorgan region

Brecon is centrally positioned in the National Park and is a very popular base for walkers, mountain bikers and those who just enjoy being within the beautiful surrounding countryside with breathtaking views. The cathedral town boasts two museums - The Welsh Borderer's Museum and the Brecon Cathedral along with a shop and cafe. The bustling town centre is quaint with many individual shops and cafes. There is an annual world renowned Jazz Festival held in the town during August. Crickhowell is a small, pretty and sheltered Georgian market town set between the lower slopes of Table Mountain and the backdrop of Llangattock Mountain with its great limestone crags. The River Usk, renowned for the good trout and salmon fishing, flows past spanned by an interesting buttressed bridge with twelve arches facing downstream and thirteen arches facing upstream. There are many excellent walks in the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons and horse riding, fishing, and canoeing can all be arranged locally. Abergavenny is a bustling market town with a large covered outdoor market and a busy cattle market; there are ample local producers, craft and antique markets and every September the famous Abergavenny Food Festival brings together a wealth of local food producers, celebrity chefs and an enthusiastic food loving audience. This area remains a favourite base for walkers, cyclists, para-gliders, fishermen and canal enthusiasts, and there are many outdoor activity providers. Hay-on-Wye is a popular market town on the River Wye, sitting on the border between England and Wales, at the foot of The Black Mountains. Overlooked by the fascinating 11thc. Castle, the town has a wealth of interesting old buildings and the "largest second-hand bookshop in the world" in the old cinema- one of the 30 major antiquarian bookshops, each with their own speciality. Hay-on-Wye hosts the world famous Literary Festival. Builth Wells in the Mid Wales countryside is varied with magnificent great reservoirs using the natural shape of the landscape - now established over many years and a natural habitat for all kinds of wildlife and flora. There are great expanses of open countryside where the Red Kite (which can be viewed at close proximity in several Red Kite Centres), buzzard, kestrel and sparrow hawks wheel and hover overhead. The Upper Swansea Valley is an ideal location for those wishing to explore this area known as 'Waterfall Country', Monmouth takes its name from the mouth of the Monnow River, which flows into the River Wye just South of the town. Monmouth is a bustling market town with many shops and supermarkets. The pubs and restaurants provide good food. All types of outdoor activities are available, there is excellent fishing on the River Monnow and the River Wye; golf is nearby at the Rolls of Monmouth; Hot Air Ballooning at nearby Raglan and pony trekking in the area; excellent walking in the Wye Valley and the Royal Forest of Dean, exploring the Welsh Borders and Offa's Dyke Path On the western side of the Brecon Beacons lie the old market towns of Llandeilo and Llandovery. Both are charming market towns with excellent local shops and information centres, guiding people to the numerous local places of interest such as Carreg Cennen Castle.

The Usk area

It takes its name from the mouth of the Monnow River, which flows into the River Wye just South of the town. Recent excavations of Roman remains bear witness to the fact that Monmouth was an important settlement long before the Norman's fortified it with the Castle, town walls and five gate houses.
