1 / 24The Old Henhouse
Llanvihangel Crucorney, Monmouthshire
A five bedroom converted henhouse for ten near Abergavenny, with the Sugar Loaf and Skirrid as a backdrop, an en suite for every bedroom, two living spaces, large enclosed gardens and five dogs welcome.
Five dogs. The Old Henhouse takes them alongside ten people in five bedrooms, each with a bathroom of its own. It is a dog friendly conversion at Llanvihangel Crucorney in the Brecon Beacons, the Sugar Loaf and Skirrid behind it, with two open plan living and kitchen spaces rather than one and large enclosed gardens laid to lawn. The owner calls it a venue for a large group or family gathering, with plenty of privacy for all involved.
Each living space has its own kitchen, dining table, leather seating and Smart TV. The larger is double height, light and airy, with a granite peninsula and French doors to a patio with a teak table; the second, through a corridor, has a country character, a pine table seating ten and bi-fold doors to another patio. Three bedrooms lead from the first space and two from the second, and one of the five bathrooms is a limestone wet room. Bedrooms and furniture are the two things the dogs leave alone, at the owner's request.
Underfloor heating keeps the house warm, and five dogs will find that out quickly. Evenings can go two ways at once, one room loud and one quiet, before everybody spills out onto the patios. The gardens are large and enclosed, with tables, seating and lovely views, and the lawn has space for every dog.
Country and mountain walks start at the door, and footpaths lead to four pubs, among them a Michelin starred restaurant, a fine walk out with the dogs before supper. Abergavenny is 3 miles away for shops, restaurants, food festivals and markets, with castles to explore at Grosmont and Raglan.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Old Henhouse dog friendly?
Yes, and generously so — The Old Henhouse welcomes up to five dogs, which puts it in rare company for a property of any size. Dogs have the run of the two large open-plan living spaces and the enclosed garden, which wraps around the back of the whole house so every door leads out onto the same ground.
Are dogs allowed at The Old Henhouse year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth checking directly with the owners to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that the house is set up with dogs as a genuine part of the picture, not an afterthought.
What should I know before visiting The Old Henhouse with my dog?
The owners are upfront about the house rules: dogs are welcome in the living spaces and garden, but not on the furniture and not in the bedrooms. It's a sensible setup that keeps things working for everyone, and with a large enclosed garden and two big shared rooms to roam between, most dogs seem to settle in just fine.
