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 bRead moreasics 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
