Find pure peace and tranquillity exploring the banks of the River Usk with your loved one and four-pawed third wheel. Take a seat on the traditional storm porch to kick off walking boots before following the warmth of the wood burner into the lounge to cuddle up on the comfy sofa in front of the Smart TV.
