We stayed at Glanhenwye for a family affair of 19 for ashes sprinkling in nearby Abergavenny. There was a mixture of ages spanning 4-76, plus dog. think everyone was chuffed to bits with the accommodation and location. Julie and Nick even kept the rain at bay for us as part of their supreme hosting skills. The 3 units allowed good social yet allowed people to have down time. The place surpassed expectations in every which way and we were discussing our next visit before we had left. The accommodation itself is to a high spec and has some lovely features such as visible beams and a massive table for us all the have dinner round. The games area and bbqs were greatly appreciated too. I particularly liked the record player and vinyl in each unit. Thanks for such a memorable stay.

During our April trip the heating comes on at a certain time and on rainy days after walking around the house was cool. There were insects in the rooms at times.

The house is perfect. Large beds. Cozy rooms. A charming place for privacy in the round windows. Plenty of space for children to play hide and seek :) Place for active games, table tennis and a climbing wall. Right from the yard there are three walking routes of varying difficulty. A beautiful view from the window into the courtyard, where bunnies and pheasants run in the morning. Great internet.

The bed was a little restrictive as the bottom footboard meant I couldn't stretch out fully and it would have been good to have a blind available for the large round window in the bedroom but these were minor issues that didn't really cause us any major issues.

The peaceful location was very nice and the hosts were really friendly and happy to help with any queries we had. The cottage had everything we wanted and was so spacious and clean and was near to some very nice locations such as Hay on the Wye. There were some fun board games to play and we enjoyed playing table tennis and using the record player which was an interesting addition and lots of other lovely touches throughout.

The best of all worlds... mountains to climb, interesting routes for a short walk and book shops with cafes. O and a Castle and a pretend self-appointed King of the Kingdom of Hay!

For us a stair gate would have been handy to keep the dogs in kitchen, but stop them going up the stairs.

Amazing comfy beds and sheets (so good I have purchase my own for home!) Lots of space. Ample kitchen equipment

No dislikes

We liked the fact that the hosts let us arrive early. It was superb accommodation in which to spend time with friends. It was spacious, clean, roomy and comfortable.

The bright light coming from the top round window in the bedroom woke us early morning every day. It could be covered with a dark film. A dryer would definately help.

We chose Galsbury as it was central to travel around mid Wales. We stayed at the 3 bedroom Owl's Roost, very beautiful large house in an excellent location surrounded by lush green gardens. Very neat and clean place with a well equipped kitchen. The bread, cookies and milk on arrival was very welcome. The bedroom on the top with the four poster bed and the round windows, was a delight, the beds were very comfy. Unfortunately couldnt use the BBQ. Having the owners staying on site is always a bonus as there is a personal touch to everything . Julia was very nice, she was waiting for us and handed over the keys. She even mailed my husband's baseball cap (an anniversary gift) which he forgot. Had we known we would have definately spent another few days enjoying the house, garden and the walks around the property.

Not much to complain about, house was well equipped. Only minor gripe was the second double bed was two singles pushed together which work colleague noted. Everything else was to a very high standard.

Quiet location, lovely settings, great comms by the owner. Some well needed essentials waiting for us when we arrived. Was a work so didn't really get to explore but would have. A bit windy / inclement for table tennis but we managed the use of the BBQ. Nice bit of vinyl, TV and WiFi worked well and as we were working this was needed.

Loved it is the honest answer

Lovely, luxurious cottage. Very comfortable in space, layout, facilities, location is perfect, can't fault it really. Really enjoyed the character of the building, the tailor made window seats and the music corner.

There are steep steps on the interior of the Hay loft but if you are mobile you’ll be fine.

beautiful place - warm and welcoming. The old hay loft has been renovated to a high standard.

Hadn't realised the two downstairs bedrooms were linked. Didn't matter at all for us but could have been awkward in a group of friends.

Beautiful place and beautifully fitted out. Felt instantly comfortable.

No breakfast so not applicable. Lovely atmosphere and very clean. Delightful and expensive shower gel provided. I hope they are able to continue offering this and no one steals the large containers.

It's not a big deal but the locks on the doors (not the keys) were a bit difficult to turn.

The cottages were absolutely lovely and had all the facilities we could have asked for. The living space at the Owl's Roost had plenty room for our whole group of 10 to relax. The warm decor was great to come back to after a day of hiking. And the friendly cat was the cherry one top!

Stayed in November 2021

We stayed at The Stable Lad's Cottage which had a very bright lounge but not quite the views we hoped for. However, everything else more than made up for it.

The hosts came to speak to us shortly after arrival which made for a lovely welcome. They gave us a very generous Welcome Pack too and there was a list of other things like BBQ etc we coukd borrow if we wanted to. Saw them on and off over the week and they were very friendly.
