A warm and cozy cottage a real home from home relaxing holiday highly recommended

David

We enjoyed our holiday in this lovely cottage, the location is great as long as your comfortable with driving a very tight single lane road. Very comfortable accommodation especially the living room. Hot tub was no problem just light the fire and give it approximately 3hrs to get to temp, this is lower if you keep covered and use regular. The pub iRead mores only a 3 minute stroll and recommend for both food and drink. Great location for walking and relaxing Hide

The cottage was lovely and the elevated position was fantastic to admire the view. The location is quiet and secluded which is perfect and just what we were looking for.

David

Great stay, and lovely location with spectacular views. Local pub was a welcome surprise due to a beer festival. Highly recommended for that mini break away from home.

Lynsey

Lovely cottage with beautiful views. very cosy and warm. Very clean and tidy and the owners were very helpful and responsive.

Michelle

Nice little cottage, amazing views and a great locals pub within walking distance. The cottage is very rural and at the end of a single track road which is quite long to get to the main road. Great spot for enthusiastic walkers.

John

Pistyll Gwyn is a comfortable character cottage in a fabulous location with stunning views of the Monmouthshire countryside. The Goose and Cuckoo pub is a short walk down the road and we spent a few lovely hours there on Christmas Eve. There are beautiful walks within easy access of the property.

Simon

Very beautiful cottage in an amazing location. Its worth staying here for just the views. Overall excellent cottage, very comfortable and nice fire. Goose and Cuckoo pub down the lane is definitely worth a visit. Yes there is a bit of damp on one room, but they are trying to resolve it. Main negative was hot tub was hopeless as struggled to get it Read moreto draw. Understand from owners it's being replaced. This didn't dampen the trip and will want to come back. Hide

Very beautiful cottage in a very tranquil surrounding. Amazing view on the valley. Nice pub only 200 yards. Very friendly family! Beautiful hiking in the surrounding.

Stephen

Fantastic break at Pistyll gwyn, really enjoyed this amazing place, so relaxing and tranquil and would definitely recommend to others. Many thanks to The Williams family for everything, much appreciated. Hope to come back soon.

Catherine

This cottage is in the perfect location at the end of a lane so you really feel secluded. It's cosy but modern and the views are fantastic. Our dog was very happy watching the sheep from the decking while we sat in the hot tub and it was great having footpaths next to the cottage.

Simon

Lovely accommodation in an ideal location, with amazing views. We enjoyed a very relaxing weekend away, without any stress.

Chris

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. The whole cottage was well furnished and comfortable but we spent most of our time in the dining room marvelling at the wonderful views across the valley with the bonus of early morning sunrises. We also loved the plant selection in the well maintained garden.

Carol

We had a fantastic week staying at Pistyll Gwyn. The location was perfect and the view from the cottage was absolutely stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the sheep and buzzards and watching them in the evening from the hot tub. We would highly recommend Pistyll Gwyn. It was very clean and the owners were very welcoming and h elpful. We hope to return at some point in the future. We could not fault it.

Andrew

Lovely peaceful location, great place to wind down and enjoy the countryside and wildlife also and also plenty to do in the area. Cottage well equipped. Wood fired hot tub takes some getting used to but great to relax in at the end of the day, provided you light it early! Long windy narrow lane not for some, as you'll meet the odd car or truck, loo k out for passing places and be prepared to back up! All part of the rural experience! Owners very friendly and just up the road. Highly reccomended.

Lucy

We had a lovely holiday in a beautiful cottage just far enough away from everything to feel private but close enough to go exploring. The views are stunning, especially from the hot tub over a glass of wine. The hosts were great and very attentive whilst respecting your privacy. We would highly recommend a stay.

A nice place but very isolated and to be frank, expensive. I don't mind paying a lot for a holiday property which is why we booked it, but if you charge top money you need to give a top service in terms of facilities, cleanliness and communication if there are issues.

Stephanie

It is perfect

Melanie

Perfect cottage, very dog friendly and uninterrupted views as far as you can see. We cannot fault anything, best holiday in forever. Loved Sugar Loaf mountain and The Four falls walk. We will be back xx

Brian

This was a fantastic holiday in a cottage set in an idyllic location. Abergavenny is a fantastic town with a great range of facilities. The owners of the property are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. We would definitely stay again.

Carly

The cottage is amazing as it has the look and feel of a cosy country cottage but at the same time it has quality modern facilities for comfort. The location is outstanding.

Dawn

Lovely cottage in a very quiet, peaceful location. The views are beautiful, even better when you can look over them from the wood-fired hot tub! It was a bonus that we could bring our dog along, as there were lots of places to walk either directly from the cottage or a short drive away. The cottage itself is well equipped and very comfortable, maki ng it the perfect place to get away from everything and relax.

Andy

The best holiday cottage in the best location I have stayed in. Immaculately kept, comfortable beds, walks from your door, truly enjoyed everything about this place and have already booked to return in the summer.

Chloe

Just a wonderful cottage with outstanding views! Owners were lovely and always helpful. Nothing has been unthought of in this cottage it had everything you needed! Such a comfy home-from- home. The hot tub was fantastic and the walks truly stunning!

Meshellae

This cottage was a wonderful break from the city! It is really cosy inside and well equipped, and the surroundings are just breathtaking! We can't wait till we have a chance to stay there again!

Jordan

Great stay at the cottage and no better way to see the new year in! Will definitely be going back this year as we loved it so much, great local and facilities for a cosy easy going break and the owners were a great help and got the fire and hot tub ready for our arrival Loved it will be back.

Nick

The cottage is superb in a beautiful location with all the modern facilities you would expect. There is lots to do in the surrounding area. The cottage owners were extremely helpful and attentive to our queries and requests. I couldn't recommend this place enough. We hope to be going back asap

Warren

Lovely cottage with stunning views. The accommodation is very well equipped, the beds are really comfortable and lounge is perfect for relaxing. The outside is gorgeous and the garden is well maintained. The location is remote but perfect for getting away from the city and there's parking for two cars. The hot tub is great and I liked that it is wo od fired as it bit different, though it can be hard to get the temperature right. I can't imagine a better cottage for a visit to the Brecon Beacons

Gwen

This gorgeous cottage is the perfect place to relax and unwind. With perfect long walks right on the doorstep. The owners have done a fabulous job of making it very welcoming. Would recommend to anyone looking for a long or short break. Make sure you bring your walking boots and be prepared for the single track lane up to the cottage. Its worth it!
