House vacation rentals in Abergavenny

I cannot overstate how amazing this place is. I was looking for an escape into the woods and it was exactly what I wanted. The setting of the cottage is stunning, right on the river and surrounded by trees. It feels remote, even though it's only a short walk into the village. The welcome was really friendly, you can tell that the owners are very active in their community and have put together loads of local info. I particularly liked the map of the community forrest which made me feel confident enough to explore walks by myself. The cottage itself is beautifully kept, with everything that you need, and then some. I didn't want to leave.

We spent a fabulous couple of days at The Forge. The place is as described - very comfortable and fully equipped for an escape to the countryside. We loved the thoughtful welcome basket of goodies too. Set in extensive grounds and with plenty of local walking, it was a chance to completely unwind and relax. A big thank you to Mel, the property manager, who provided full and clear information and was friendly and responsive to our queries.

All previous reviews indicated a top class house in every respect and I can only reiterate those views. If I could have given a 6 star rating I would have done so. All generations (grandparents, parents and children) thoroughly enjoyed using all of the facilities provided from cooking, eating and drinking to the outside play area, the pool and the gym. Further the location was most agreeable, in easy reach of lots of beautiful countryside and interesting places to visit in South Gloucestershire. Helen-Louise’s communications were responsive, clear and most helpful. The perfect host!

Such a lovely place to stay. We only booked for two nights and wish we had been there for longer. Lots of really interesting features (a suit of armour! A harp!) in a well stocked house. Very comfortable beds and sofas, beautiful views (we especially enjoyed all the bird nesting in the eaves), gorgeous interior, starry Dark Skies and nice hosts - what's not to love? Great parking. Wish we could have had a few more nights, to check out the pub just down the road.

Booked for a 50th birthday celebration and reunion. A great time was had by all! Lois was around to meet and greet and the items provided for breakfast was an unexpected but very welcome surprise! Thanks for a great stay Lois!

We had a great stay at the barn, celebrating a big birthday. There were 6 adults staying and we were all extremely comfortable. Mike and Joan were very hospitable, generous and responsive. The barn is as fabulous as the photos suggest. The views are amazing. The pool is wonderful. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We very much hope to return.

Spacious and comfortable house for our family of 6 during a rainy February half term. The main reason to rent this place was the pool and sauna which didn’t disappoint and was great for our kids. There is a builder’s merchant right next door to the house which isn’t obvious from the photos but was not a particular problem with respect to noise etc. Lots of great walks nearby - which we will have to rediscover in the future in better weather! Thanks to Phoebe and the owners for making us feel welcome and for being available and responsive to our questions.

beautiful views and with the upside house layout it made the most of this. Working farm, but very quiet. Although you didn't feel you needed to tell children to be quiet all the time. Pool and hot tub were great additions, and my girls loved spending time in there. I possibly read the desciption wrong, but I hadn't realised before that the washing machine was shared and only available when the pool was. It worked for us and was fine, I just needed to be more organised! Danielle was very quick to respond to all messages and communicated really well with any info we needed. Lovely to meet her at the start to put a face to the name. Would definately recomend and hope to come again. Ideal to travel the half hour to the Hay festival!

Lovely place. Enjoyed the small extras like the lovely cake! Felt very much like a cute retreat and very nicely decorated. Helen was warm and welcoming.

Perfect cozy spot for one couple and two friends. Kitchen is well equipped enough to make proper meals and the living room is ideal for movie nights. We loved Talgarth and all of the friendly locals we met! Don’t miss the mill tour and the table sale if you time your trip right. We’d love to come back!

Place was lovely, really clean and well organised. Off road secure parking which was fab! Great hub to get to the Brecons, we did multiple hikes & explored the area. Valentina is really proactive with her communication and made it so easy. Plan to come back and would recommend to friends!!

The photos do not do the Drydock Cottage justice - it is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos and also a lot more spacious. The attention to detail and every element of the design that has gone into the conversion of this building is second to none. The location is also absolutely perfect - so peaceful, tucked away in gorgeous grounds with a view straight out onto the canal and across over the valley to the mountains beyond. I could have sat and watched the world go by, including the families of ducks, all day. The home made goodies were very welcoming and I loved every minute of my stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place for people looking to escape to somewhere unique and peaceful.

Hare Cottage is the perfect location for exploring Abergavenny and the surrounding areas. It’s a short drive to nearby villages and towns worth a visit (Brecon, Crickhowell, Talybont on Usk). Our 3 year old loved finding all the hares around the house. It was perfectly equipped, in a safe and quiet area with parking and an enclosed garden for our dog. We managed a parkrun in Merthyr, a walk up Sugarloaf Mountain, several trips to the local pubs and restaurants which are only a few minutes walk away and dog walks in Castle Meadows. Jack gave us local recommendations which were excellent and we found a few to add to the list: Pizza at the Towpath Inn (Gilwern) Beers and pies at the Brecon Tap (Brecon) O’Connell Bakery (Abergavenny)

It was a lovely place to stay. My dawg enjoyed people watching especially the ones walking their dawgs. Everything you needed plus a downstairs loo which I didn't know about.

We were so lucky to stay in this beautiful cottage for our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome — Ellie was incredibly friendly and thoughtful, leaving us lovely cakes to enjoy on arrival. The cottage (and its surroundings) is full of charm and just as whimsical as the pictures suggest. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy quality time together. We also enjoyed the easy drives into Ludlow, Leominster, Tenbury Wells and local walks. We can’t thank Ellie enough for creating such a beautiful, memorable experience — we’ll definitely be back one day!

We loved this cottage. It is in a delightful location at the end of a lane, with a very attractive garden. Everything inside had been thoughtfully put together to make guests feel welcome and comfortable, and Sharon was helpful and responsive. The kitchen was very well equipped. We did some beautiful hiking nearby, and all agreed that we would like to return to the area and the house.

Wow what a place. Every bit of it was perfect just as we imagined. The little girls loved every moment as it gave them the cottage feel they were thinking of. I must say the place is very well equipped, Justine has added small touches like towels, hand wash, shampoos, ear buds, candles. You don’t normally expect them but very well equipped. It literally feels like you’re at home, I’m glad we made this choice. There was an onsite sauna which we didn’t get to use but looked really cool. Maybe on our next visit we will get to use it.. The outdoor garden was magical, nice breezy, birds tweeting, just absolutely beautiful. Well done Justine to you and your partner for having a lovely place. All the best and hopefully we will book your place again in the near future. Thank you once again. You have a lovely flower garden by the way👌🏼

Lovely stay close to the centre of town, great amenities like the Sage coffee machine and Ooni. Would definitely come back/recommend to friends 😊

Perfect stay! Sarah’s place was exactly as described and we loved it. Would defiantly return x

Lovely home. Very comfortable with everything we needed. Great to park car on driveway. Lovely garden and patio. Great location with canal walks and pub over the road. Chippy 2mins away too! We walked nearby- beautiful countryside. House a pleasure to return to after day exploring. Highly recommended.

Stayed here with our family of 6 adults and the house was perfect. Lovely garden and kitchen space - perfect to sit and enjoy the morning with coffee. The rooms were all lovely and clean and spacious. We arrived with two cars and were able to park both vehicles off the main road either in the garages or just in front. The local area is very nice and friendly with two small convenience stores less than 5mins away. If you’re looking for somewhere to be a great hub for exploring the local area and Brecon Beacons this is a great spot!

We loved our stay in Oak Cottage. It was so relaxing and in a beautiful area. Megan was so kind, friendly and helpful.

Excellent stay, perfect location and helpful comments to find the local spots

lovely home surrounded by Welsh mountains. right next door to a shop if you forgot something. plenty of garden space for the dogs to play in. off road parking was very much appreciated.
