Lovely, comfortable well equipped cottage. Very much enjoyed the recalcitrant vodka. We walked miles and enjoyed the hot tub and the wood burner! Would love to come again! Thank you so much! The Weight Watching Guts Cottage Guest - March 2014
Many thanks for a really wonderful long weekend and the cottage and it’s amenities are worthy of praise. The log fire added to its charm. The weather was really exceptional and contributed to our enjoyment. The Anchor Inn and The Fountain Inn both are recommended for a really good meal and service.

“Our 2nd visit to Vanilla and we were not disappointed! The weather was not kind to us this week ( reminds us of our home in Scotland) and our intended walks were dashed.The Farmers Market in Usk was great and kept us well fed for a couple of days. The Red Kite centre is a must and there is a lovely walk to enjoy afterwards. We had meals at the Kings Head Usk ( good honest pub food), the Foxhunter good but a bit overpriced,at the Hardwick a really excellent meal and we long to go aagain. Finally the Black Bear a fantastic meal and good chat.Our two dogs enjoyed the walks and are gong home fitter. Liffey got 2nd at the Welsh Kennel Club Show this week and beat her great rival. Thanks for everything Julie and Fraser McCullum, Ayr Scotland and two irish water spaniels. PS we wish the next guests an excellent time too!” Julie and Fraser McCullum - March 2014
“Our guests at Vanilla left us this rhyme this week – in their 80s and clearly still having fun! Vanilla Cottage ,an unusual name Through the internet it has now found fame The cottage is quaint a blend old and new The garden is pretty with roses to view Theres everything to use- its just like home The only thing missed was the telephone After drinking the wine – thats gone to your head You swing on the rope as you go up to bed You sink in the bath with bubbles galore You emerge in the gown from the bedroom door Sipping blackcurrant vodka you get into bed And toast to a lovely week ahead. ” Cottage Guests -
“Just a 3 night stay, but long enough to appreciate the effort that has gone into making Vanilla Cottage so perfect. All the little extras were much appreciated. Raglan Castle worth a visit also The Skirrid Inn (oldest pub in Wales) Locally The Black Bear is excellent and the golf club next door is handy for a Sunday carvery lunch.
