Great apartment literally a minute or two from the town centre. Very quiet road, easy parking around the back which the owners told us about. Very well equipped, we cooked a couple of times, so useful to have basics such as tea coffee, milk, cling film oil, etc! Many properties dont offer that anymore. Having the door out onto the balcony was loRead morevely, made you forget you were in a first floor flat. Very light and airy. They really seem to have thought of everything. Including leaving you the manuals for dishwasher, oven, etc, not just vague instructions, very helpful! We stayed a week and there was no noise at all including over the weekend. A perfect place to stay in our opinion . Hide

It is a great basecamp for your South Wales holiday. It is a small but well equipped apartment with a very good lay out. The apartment is light with a very nice balcony. The owners communicate clearly with you and are very helpful. There is a great info document about the apartment and things to do in Abergavenny. Coffee, oil and such basicsRead more are provided. As is a selection of good books, some games. All outlets have usb. And everything you might want/need is there. I actually tried to take the shower home with me. It is really good, especially after a long hike. The views are great. You can see the different mountains from the different windows. Shops are around the corner, great restaurants nearby. And the apartment is an excellent place to start any of the many walks and hikes the area offers. Hide

We had a really enjoyable stay. The property is in a great location- very near the town centre but in a quiet road. It was modern, warm and clean with every facility you could want. It was lovely to sit out on the balcony with a morning coffee. The shower was very powerful and hot and the towels were good. The owners generously provided lots of litRead moretle extras you would not normally expect such as granola and porridge and even Easter eggs! Hide
