Guests say

The Barn in Crickhowell is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its spaciousness, warm atmosphere, and beautiful views. The property is appreciated for its utility and pet-friendly features, making it a cosy retreat. While some guests noted difficulty in locating the property and suggested improvements, the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to returning.

Most guests found The Barn to be very clean and tidy, with only a few mentioning areas that could benefit from more thorough cleaning. The positive remarks on cleanliness far outweigh the negatives, indicating a high standard of cleanliness overall.

The location is generally praised for its quietness, pleasant views, and proximity to local attractions. However, several guests mentioned difficulties in finding the property due to vague directions and a concealed entrance, slightly impacting the score.

Guests found the property roomy and comfortable, with a warm and cosy atmosphere. Some guests, however, reported issues with bed comfort, particularly the softness of the mattresses, which affected their stay.

The Barn is well-equipped with facilities that guests found adequate for their stay. Nonetheless, there are suggestions for maintenance and updates, including the outdoor seating and signage for the property entrance.

While the reviews reflect a positive experience with the hosts and the property's amenities, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

About this property

This characterful cottage is located near the town of Abergavenny, with views across to the Blorenge Mountain and a direct footpath from the rear, bringing you up onto Sugar Loaf. Situated on the owner’s grounds with a neighbouring working farm and an enclosed garden, The Barn is a wonderful place to stay whatever the time of year. Upon entering, you will discover the open-plan living area; one side houses a lounge with a leather sofa and a collection of arm chairs, sitting adjacent to an electric fire. To the other side of the room, a dining table is set up for four people, somewhere comfortable for the family to gather after an adventure filled afternoon. With the addition of Sky TV, and a Nintendo Wii, you will be kept occupied for hours. Upstairs in the cottage, there are two bedrooms; a charming twin room, and a double bed, which looks out over rural views, a natural backdrop to wake up to. Start your mornings by getting ready in the lovely bathroom, then wander down to the kitchen, for those delicious refreshments or a warm cup of tea. Large windows accompany the ground floor, so you can be at one with the location, wherever you choose to go about your day - even better, a large 'barn door' gives access to the rear garden which benefits from a patio and seating area. A prime local area for walking and close to a pub. Nestling between the seven mountains, with the River Usk flowing through the centre, Abergavenny boasts a castle with its own museum, churches, an indoor market hall, good shops and a multitude of pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as hosting the annual food festival, as well as taking a visit to the book town of Hay on Wye. Beautiful walks through the Wye Valley and Vale of Usk, or along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal are close by, with Crickhowell, not forgetting the breath-taking Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) and Black Mountains. A getaway not to be missed.

Boasting a castle with its own museum, churches, an indoor market hall, and a great choice of shops and restaurants, the market town of Abergavenny has plenty to offer its visitors. Nestling amid seven surrounding mountains and with the River Usk flowing through it, the town affords views wherever you look. The Black Mountains, the Brecon Beacons and the local countryside have so much to offer to lovers of the outdoors.
