"We had a lovely stay at here, it was very calm and quiet in beautiful countryside. If you are after a calming getaway then this is it. Not far from Usk which has some lovely pubs as well. Both bedrooms are roomy and having doors that open into the garden for both is a bonus. Big comfy sofa in the open plan lounge lounge-kitchen."

"We had a great stay here with my parents and our dogs. We explored the nature reserve straight out from the air bnb as well as some of the local walks around the area we needed to drive to. It was approx 20 min drive into Newport where we headed for my graduation ceremony which again was very straight forward. We all really enjoyed our time and the living space was great for us all to cook/ eat/ socialise together. Bedrooms are spacious and beds very comfortable. Would stay again. Thanks very much for a great few days.."

"Ellie’s converted New Court Barn is beautiful, if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway where you feel at home right away then this is the place to stay! Beautifully decorated and lots of space! Loved being able to be amongst the horses, chickens and adorable dog Tinker! If you’re looking to be away from the city and amongst nature then you’ll feel you’re in the right place here. Lots of bathrooms so the 8 of us never struggled to have showers and use the loo on a morning! We stayed for a convention at the ICC and the drive was a simple and easy 20 mins!"

"New court is a lovely farm and a real taste of the countryside. Our stay at New Court was wonderful. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted by our host and welcomed. Lovely exterior and interior to the property and very homely and welcoming. Everything you need for a great stay is within the property, with a few added luxury touches to complement and make things that much better. The Farm also is surround by great walks, so bring those walking boots!. There is also lots to see within the farm including some great British white cows. All in all a lovely and relaxing stay and one which we can recommend."

"We had a wonderful Christmas break here. The barn was perfect for our family gathering, really warm, comfortable, well kitted out kitchen and in a beautiful location. The bedrooms, both with en-suites were really nicely furnished and the beds very comfortable. We had six of us stay and the sofas were really comfortable to make up the extra two beds we needed. Ellie is a great host, very friendly and really good at communicating. Would definitely recommend staying here."

"A wonderful stay with friends. We had plenty of space for two couples and a dog. The large open plan kitchen/dining/living space was ideal. It was lovely and warm even before lighting the fire! The location was quiet and secluded but still not far from lots of places to go for a walk."
