Coach House well stocked with everything you need for a self catering stay. Close to Abergavenny and country walks. The host, Nicola very friendly and welcoming. If you need a stay away from it all it's perfect.

Nicola greeted us on arrival and showed herself to be a very caring host. The Coach House was well equipped, spacious and full of character with wonderful views to the hills. The garden was magnificent. We found the bed to be extremely comfortable and the shower in the en-suite amazing. Our only negative point was that the settee wasnât too comfortable as not much neck/head support. Thank you for sharing your cottage.

Lovely and kind host. A little run down perhaps but fantastic base for covering both Brecon beacons and Wye valley (plus of course Sugarloaf nearby)
