We had a fantastic stay even though the weather wasn't kind until the last day! It definitely didn't dampen our holiday. A beautiful place to stay and plenty of room and well equipped, definitely felt like a retreat from the hustle and bustle. We do love Wales.

A lovely cottage with many superb walks from the door. Three en-suite bedrooms - one ensuite was very small but the master bedroom with walk in wet room was superb and our host provided both shower and toilet seats for use by a disabled member of our group. All in all an excellent home from home to enjoy Abergavenny & surrounding areas - don't missRead more the monthly street food market if you are there the right week Hide
