A ROMANTIC COTTAGE for TWO, BESIDE a STREAM and NATURAL WATERFALL
Little Allt y bela is a cosy, self-catering cottage for two. Romantic and entirely private, nestled in the curve of the stream where a natural waterfall tumbles over the natural bedrock. Every detail has been considered by William: floorboards cut from timber grown on the farm, windows, furniture and bed made by his own hands, the kitchen fitted with an Everhot cooker and everything needed to cook well. A wood burner keeps the cottage warm in any season.
The Cottage: One bedroom. One bathroom (accessed via a separate exterior door). A sitting room with wood burner. A fully fitted kitchen with Everhot cooker. The sound of the waterfall carries through from outside.
The Kitchen: Self-catering, with everything you need for a long, easy stay. We recommend Morris’s Farm Shop in Usk for provisions. On arrival you will find a welcome of homemade sourdough, jam, fresh milk and, when the season allows, apple juice from Allt y bela’s orchard.
The Stream: Little bela sits in the curve of the stream that winds its way through the landscape down to the garden of Allt y bela. A waterfall can be heard gurgling just below and 165 acres of ancient farmland sit above and around waiting to be explored. Walks begin from the door.
A PLACE of
PEACEFUL SECLUSION
Allt y bela is a Medieval cruck-framed farmhouse built between 1420 and 1599, with the addition of a Renaissance tower created in the seventeenth century. It was lovingly restored by the Spitalfields Trust before being bought and further repaired and enhance by William Collinson and Arne Maynard in 2006.
