  Very spacious and well equipped cottage.

  We had a really lovely stay and were so grateful for the weather, a chance to explore the beautiful surroundings and countryside and come back to comfort and peace. Wendy and crew and their lovely dogs were quietly around if we needed them . My comments are minor We recommend A. fitting retractable blackout blinds to the bedroom roof velux windows B. Providing garden recliners eg https://www.therange.co.uk/outdoor-living/garden-furniture/garden-chairs/set-of-2-heavy-duty-textoline-zero-gravity-chairs/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwuO6WBhDLARIsAIdeyDLXhg81DD_EIxMzvQaUS8Dgf0GTehG0yqH-PnyKI_18Yyn_-o7hW-waAvjyEALw_wcB#5258528 C. Sharpen the kitchen knives! D. Sand down and resrain/paint the garden furniture Here is a little suggestion - the local area is so beautiful. Ask guests to send you photos of any beautiful scenes and then turn these in to large framed picture photos to hang throughout the cottage rather than the odd and very mixed assortment of pictures you currently have. One final comment - the floor vinyl in the kitchen and utility is significantly ripped in several places, and is loose.

  This is the 2nd time we have stayed and we have booked again next year.

  Always welcoming, plenty of space exactly as pictures show. Loads of room for parking outside the property leading up from a narrow gravel track from the A40 (no sign for it so use the Powys border one as a marker) The Barn was cosy and lovely and warm, the heating being on most of the time. The new mattresses were a medium to soft which suited us. The only thing they could do with is a clock in the livingroom and curtains in the twin bedroom as the sensor light from the owners property lights up the bedroom during the night from the wildlife passing by. There is a small strip of grass at the back approached by steps, our dog found them quite steep being elderly so I took her out the front most of the time. Views of sheep and horses from the patio doors in the livingroom give a lovely site on a wet day and the mountains through the trees at the front. We are looking forward to going again next year. Abergavenny about 4miles has everything plus free parking on Byfield Lane carpark except, Tuesday Market day.

  We were lucky to arrive on a perfect winter afternoon. The barn's backdrop is a hillside that was catching the afternoon sun, and the valley was filled with clouds, making a cloud inversion arrival the perfect start to our week! The route to the barn may look intimidating but we managed it no problem throughout a week that included some cold wet mornings in my wifes 2 wheel drive mini. The location is stunning with numerous walks from the door and the full expanse of the Brecon Beacons within easy reach. Copious amounts of wood for the woodburner, but in reality the barn is so well insulated that we used it more for effect than needing it for warmth, despite the temp dropping to -5 ' during our stay. Cozy bedlinen got my wifes approval and everything worked as it should. 10 out of 10 for everything from us . We will be back !

  Kavieng was a superb getaway for a week, the accommodation was spotless and perfectly as described/illustrated, in fact it surpassed our expectations, it really is in a lovely spot and extremely well look after.

  Vicky and Stuart can't do enough for you, from the tasty welcome pack to the 'things you may have forgotten' to there warm welcoming personalities, they have all bases covered. Lots of local walks from the door to enjoy in what is a stunning location (albeit largely wet during our stay), definitely worth a walk to the Dragon where you can be greeted with a smile and a good pint or further afield enjoy Sugar Loaf. Plenty of places to eat within a short hop, Abergavenny offers local supermarkets and a wide selection of restaurants, would recommend Casa Bianca, that was nice but slightly further away but worth the trip is Hunters Moon, 13th century pub, but you do need to book a meal in advance. Loved this holiday property and would highly recommend, enjoy, you won't be disappointed if you are after a quiet getaway!
