Appletree house

CHECK AVAILABILITY 

Our gorgeous modern-day yet quaint village grew from a small number of houses built during the very late nineteenth century and into the twentieth century along The Highway (the main road through the village, spelt The High Way on earlier maps), which was then the main route between Newport (to the south) and Pontypool. We still have the village feel today with a few locally owned shops and a cafe and the ever important Spar shop. The house is on what is an excellent transport infrastructure with the main buses to the local towns etc driving directly through the village and passed the house. A 15 minute walk will get you to the New Inn and Pontypool train station serving all the way from Tenby West Wales to Manchester in the North. This is an excellent way to visit and explore beautiful places like Abergavenny, Hereford and so on or if you prefer something with a little more hussle and bustle then the other way to Cardiff and the West. We are less than 60 seconds drive to the country lanes and just a 12 minute drive to the breathtaking Llandegfedd Reservoir and Water Sports Centre. An amazing reservoir with cafe and boating and ample free parking set in 174 hectares. We are minutes walk from the beautiful Monmouthshire and Brecon canal which also attracts a lot of push bike riders. This is a perfect walk for our doggy guests too. Another main attraction of our bikers are the wonderful surrounding mountains. We literally have far too many choose from but in our online guide you will see the most popular. We are 20 minutes drive from the edge of the beautiful Brecon Beacons and approx 40 minutes drive to the heart. This is 347 square miles of natural beauty and also contains many of the popular climbing mountains for beginners and experienced climbers alike. Locally we have some wonderful family attractions, community farms, walks, sports centres, shopping, restaurants. You certainly will not be lost for things to keep the kids and the pets occupied. We are 6 minutes to Cwmbran Town Centre for all your shopping needs including a superstore Asda and Sainsbury’s and 6 minutes the other way to Pontypool Town Centre for Tesco’s. Pontypool Park is just a very short walk away and is locally known as the People’s Park, covering some 64 hectares with several historical features - including Italian Gardens, Ice Houses and Shell Grotto - which have been restored with a Heritage Lottery Fund grant and funding from Torfaen County Borough Council. There is also a link from the Park, through adjacent farm land to the Folly Tower, via a public footpath. Facilities include a children's play area, rugby pitch (home to Pontypool RFC), tennis courts, pitch and putt, bowls and a dry ski slope. There are footpath links into the Brecon Beacons National Park on the most northern boundary.
