  We stayed at Y Golwg for 14 nights in January 2025 with 2 Collies. The first thing you see when you pull up , is 'the view'. A spectacular panorama of the 3 peaks of Abergavenny. The property itself was tastefully decorated with quality furnishings. The kitchen was fairly well equipped again with quality utensils. The kitchen/living room is open plan with a staircase leading to the upper level. The bathroom has a free standing bath, walk in shower W.C. and wash hand basin with a spectacular view from the huge window. Spacious bedroom, king size bed with beautiful bedding. Towels and toiletries provided. Another wall to wall window looking out over the three peaks. A small cupboard on the landing provided some hanging space for clothes also chest if drawers in the bedroom. Stairs, landing and bedroom carpeted. Downstairs was tiled with under floor heating which worked very well. Lovely local walks from the property but be aware of the sheep. Other places of interest accessible by car ranging from 10 - 30 mins away. Access to the property is via single track road. We had a lovely time but we're very grateful for mostly dry weather. The owners were lovely and communicated quickly by text to any queries I had. The remote location of this property is perfect for those of us who appreciate nature and the out doors.

  We had a lovely time and were surprised at the huge size of the upstairs bedroom and bathroom. Having a full size walk-in "rain" shower that I (6ft 3in) could fit under easily was great. We wanted a small cottage with a log burnder, which felt isolated with nobody around, and got exactly that. It was still close enough to town to get food/supplies easily. The internet connection was terrible (no bandwidth and huge network jitter and packet loss), but I was told this is going to be fixed soon. I resolved the issue by going into town and getting a 4g dongle device with O2 that got me a very consistnt/stable 10 megabit connection when I left it in the corner by the front door. My partner was getting 30 megabit with O2 on her phone inside the building but we didnt want to use up her limited data. I was getting hardly anything with EE on my phone, but that may be because I have a cheap phone. Suffice to say, *if* the internet is still not fixed, I would recommend bringing/getting a 4g dongle if you need any sort of internet access. It is worth noting that the CCTV is only on the outside of the building and not inside so you shouldn't need to worry about privacy concerns. We will very likely come again, and have already recommended it to our friends/family.

  We have just arrived home from a long weekend away here.

  We couldn't believe lur luck when we arrived after a very long 6.5hr drive due to the prince of Wales bridge being closed so we had to detour around to the other bridge, our 3 dogs who were travelling with us were in need to run off some energy and the garden was amazing it was huge the pictures doesn't do it justice the biggest bonus was that it was fully enclosed so the dogs could go out and run around and we didn't have to worry. The dogs loved the garden far bigger then we have at home. We opened the caravan door to be greeted with a lovely warm van the owners had popped on the heating for our arrival which was greatly appreciated after our long travel. The caravan was fully kitted out with everything you could think of.wifi, smart tv did player with 2 drawers full of dvds to enjoy we did add some to it as only found them after we brought some lol. There was boars games you name it it was there. Even a airfryer. They had a little storage unit outside which had towels in for the dogs which was totally unexpected all 3 of our dogs love the outside come rain or shine and they are the biggest mud monsters going so we took full advantage of a towel or two

  Well you couldn't wish for a warmer welcome from Theresa, John and family to Old Well Bungalow.

  Lovely spacious and light filled Bungalow, nicely furnished and with every you could want for a holiday retreat in a peaceful location. The welcome pack of Welsh cakes, bread, milk, butter and jam etc was much appreciated. Would I recommend Old Well Bungalow to others? A definite YES and would I go back, again a YES (although I might take my own pillows as found those supplies were quite hard - but appreciate this is a personal choice). Ideal location for visiting the many wonderful sites within that part of Wales (recommend St Fagan National Museum of History (& apart from a £6 parking fee its free to get in) and Raglan Castle. If you visit Caerphilly Castle beware of the Pigeon Poo on the handrails and also there is a lot of construction work taking place , so a lot of the castle is off limits, including the toilets and there are no nearby public toilets. Also Sykes descriptions states there is a freezer, but this is not a stand alone freezer, but rather a small freezer/ice box in the fridge, although this was not a problem for us. One of the nicest Sykes cottages we have stayed in and a credit to Theresa & John.

  Such a beautiful and peaceful setting with stunning views from the cottage.

  A perfect base to explore Monmouthshire and beyond. Extremely comfortable living area, with handy downstairs loo, and comfy beds with soft mattress toppers. Well equipped kitchen, and we especially appreciated the welcome basket containing their own hen's eggs, Welshcakes, milk, tea and coffee. The highlights were watching the sun go down from the wonderful hot-tub after a day exploring, the frequent visits from the friendly hens and the sheep in the field next-door, watching the owners' horses pass our lodge and being able to have our own dog stay with us in a safe environment. The owners were so friendly, recommended local pubs, helped us fix a minor problem with the hot-tub and chatted about their very much loved animals, whilst respecting our privacy. We arrived in foggy conditions and got confused with the directions (the Glen View sign was difficult to see in the fog around the bend, need a NEON one please ;D ) and I would recommend a mirror in the bedroom for drying hair. Other than that it was perfect and we loved every minute of our week's stay. Thank you so much <3
