Location
The Black Mountains
Old Great Marlborough is set just inside the Welsh border, not far from Grosmont village. This stunning mountain region attracts lovers of the outdoors from all over the world and is home to many great walks and attractions. The house is an ideal base, allowing you to explore the surrounding countryside and take one of the many walks, or wander into the village of Grosmont and visit the local pub. If you are looking to venture further afar, the market town of Abergavenny is just 15 minutes away and is also where you will find the nearest train station. Hay-on-Wye, the world famous ‘Town of Books’, is a 45 minute drive through the mountain pass and is well worth the journey. Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, is only an hour away.

“We had an incredible stay at Old Great Marlborough. It was the perfect space for a group of us. There was plenty to do with the games room, tennis court and hot tub... which we spent most of our time in! The house has many thoughtful touches for guests and the beautiful garden was the perfect setting for me to propose to my now Fiancé! It will forever hold a place in our heart and we definitely plan to return!”
