This three-storey holiday home boasts a tranquil, waterside location in the charming village of Gilwern. The property sleeps four guests and is perfect for small families or couples looking to explore the south-east corner of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons). You’ll have endless walking routes to explore from your front door, and for shopping and eating out the vibrant towns of Abergavenny and Crickhowell are both within 5 miles.

The converted textile mill oozes style, with original features complemented by a muted colour scheme and natural materials and fabrics. The main social space is a bright, open-plan kitchen/diner with a choice of dining areas at the breakfast bar or dining table. There’s also a handy utility room and shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs, a characterful lounge awaits with a striking, exposed brick wall and a Juliet balcony overlooking the river. Relax here, stretched out on the low, L-shaped sofa in front of the TV or sipping a coffee at the table by the window. On the second floor you’ll find a pretty double bedroom and a cosy bunk bedroom, along with a contemporary shower room. Outside, there is a small suntrap terrace to the front of the property with tables and benches, or a shaded seating area to the rear offering a cool spot to relax in summer months.

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to walks. From the village, you can follow the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal to neighbouring Llangattock (4.5 miles). Here, you can scale the Llangattock Escarpment for magnificent views across the national park. Other popular routes include the beautiful Clydach Gorge (2 miles) and Sugar Loaf Mountain (6 miles). Gilwern sits on the edge of the Blaenavon World Heritage Centre, which includes fascinating attractions such as the Big Pit National Coal Museum of Wales.

We really enjoyed our stay at Flannel House. The property was very spacious and well equipped. The location is excellent and it's easy to get to nearby attractions. Despite having a week of torrential rain we found plenty of places to visit and managed to stay fairly dry. Lots of walks nearby to enjoy in drier weather.

A great house for a trip to Wales. Location is good for local tourist attraction. The village has a choice of pubs and is well placed for a walk along the canal. The house was well equipped and very spacious. Record player, games, books and DVDs all produced. Parking was convenient just behind the building.

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Bunk beds were fine for adults but access to the bedrooms would be quite difficult for someone with mobility issues. Location was good although we were not informed that one of the access roads to the cottage is blocked by a temporary (?) barrier.

Sofa not very comfortable. Far too low. Lovely spot by the stream. It felt like you was in the countryside, but a short walk brings you to a lovely little town.

What a wonderful gem. This home felt traditional in its style, with a wonderful living space. Quiet and relaxing. If you want shiny and all things modern this may not be for you but I loved it. The showers were powerful and hot, Wi-Fi excellent. Comfortable beds. The bunk is probably a little small for older children but it was a gorgeous little roRead moreom. Loved the sound of the Clydach outside my window and the whole area felt safe and peaceful. A perfect way to enjoy Abergavenny & surrounding area Hide
