The Byre

A beautiful location, the place was very clean and tidy at arrival, a great place to escape to the countryside but close enough to town that you can still go shopping, the peacocks were also great to see wandering around.

A beautifully appointed farm building conversion carried out by the farm’s owners.

( they live next door). This is an ideal location for anyone who loves walking, history, - there are three medieval castles within a few miles. We loved it!

A lovely setting to come back to each day, Horses, friendly dogs and Peacocks.

It is a working farm so expect some coming and going in the day. Location is good for Visiting various towns and sights. The byre is spacious, comfortable and well equipped.

The Byre was fantastic.

Well equipped and very warm and cosy. Great base for exploring Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons. Private parking and just a short drive to Abergavenny. The location is in a working farm with friendly hosts and a lovely welcome pack.

A peaceful and quiet location to relax with a wonderful host.

Fresh Flowers and cakes on the table to greet you as you walk in ,along with milk supplied to enjoy with a cuppa. Daily visits by the beautiful peacocks add to the enjoyment of this lovely place along with other farm animals in the neighbouring fields. A very short and easy drive from the main town of Abergavenny.

The Byre is an attractive cottage, one bedroom only and yet spacious.

Clean and well-equipped, it is located on a farm where peacocks parade,in quiet, pleasant countryside 4 miles out of Abergavenny, a good centre for visiting the Three Castles, the Wye Valley, the Forest of Dean and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site, Foodies will find plenty of opportunities close by, with the famous Walnut Tree nearest.

The Byre was an amazing place to stay.

It's situation, comfort, cleanliness all top notch. Very well equipped and generous welcome pack of cakes and biscuits. Lovely flowers too. We would highly recommend it. Also friendly little dogs and wonderful peacocks!

Lovely property with accurate listing of facilities and true to the pictures taken.

Kitty was kind and available if needed to sort any problems. Well equipped and comfortable property especially if you like cooking. Quiet location in the countryside. I specifically choose this property to support a family working farm and I enjoyed seeing glimpses of the action. I would highly recommend this property.

We have never stayed in such a spacious, well equipped and perfectly located holiday home, for walking in the Brecon Beacons.

Lovely peaceful easygoing place to stay.

Kitty and Tim were very welcoming and informative of the area. Loved the animals being around and the scenery is stunning. Great for walks and climbs all around. Would definitely recommend.

The Byre is an extremely comfortable cottage for 2 people.

The location, 15 minute drive outside Abergavenny, is ideal for exploring the surrounding countryside and towns of this part of South Wales. The description on the website needs updating to include the small freezer in the utility room and the second TV in the bedroom. Both make The Byre an even more attractive proposition. If we were to return to this part of Wales we would have no hesitation in staying here.

Very friendly and helpful owners.

Lovely property, plenty of space for 2 people. The property supplies everything you need and is good quality. Cake and biscuits with flowers on arrival is a very nice welcome. Great location, central for great walks and small towns. Would 100% recommend this property.

Great holiday accommodation in a beautiful setting, 4 stars but could have easily been 5 with a little care and attention.

It’s was a lovely place to stay.

We only had 1 day of cycling but it was lovely. Lovely treats left for us. Lovely animals. Very clean and true to the description.

Very clean and comfortable accommodation.

The peacocks added an interesting addition. Thank you very much for providing a nice place to return to each day

A lovely welcome pack awaiting with Welsh goodies.

Lovely free range eggs for sale. Beautiful property with everything you could need in tne kitchen particularly. Very comfortable sofa where you can put your feet up and rest your head after a long mountain climb!

The Byre was really superb.

Much larger than expected,and very well equipped for two persons. The underfloor heating was very effective on chilly mornings! The location was ideal,tucked away but in easy reach of Abergavenny and all local facilities. In all, a very comfortable stay in delightful rural surroundings- many thanks to our attentive and helpful host!

A very comfortable, attractive cottage.

Very happy with the cottage, comfortable and spacious.

Great location peaceful and close to key walking routes and Abergavenny. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely and warm even when it was snowing on Skirrid.

Excellent cottage, our second visit and will be back in 2024

Really lovely, spacious, warm and clean accommodation.

Good location to explore nearby mountains. There is provided everything you need for a comfortable stay. Thank you very much for the welcome flowers and treats. Already recommended The Byre to my friends.

Lovely property, very welcoming owner.

The property is perfect for 2people, quality of facilities and equipment is very good. The Welcome pack was full of tasty goodies and a vase of fresh flowers was a very nice touch. Would 100% recommend this property, we will definitely return.

A well appointed, spacious and comfortable cottage, kept to a very high standard.

Kitty Bodily was very welcoming.

What a gem!

The cottage was very comfortable and every eventuality was thought of. Nice and private, but we knew if we had any queries there was always someone to ask - we didn't need to though, as everything was provided. The farm where the cottage was located was very interesting with peacocks and small dogs (very friendly) to greet you every time you arrived "home". Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore this interesting part of Wales, or do some serious walking. As we said in the visitor's book 10 out of 10. Peter McCaffrey

Excellent property.

Spacious, well equipped and warm. Good location for walking .

We loved your cottage, very relaxing, it was perfect.

Ruby and the other dogs were very friendly, beautiful peacocks. We’ll definitely be back, thanks.

Absolutely amazing set up!

we were awoken every morning by peacocks at our window. the location was brilliant and Kitty was a great host we will definitely be booking the Byre again. there is loads to do and is great for both couples and families.

A lovely property with everything we needed.

Thank you so much.

Excellent place not too far from Abergavenny or the mountains and no light pollution.

Quite peaceful and pleasant.

Our second stay and love it,even though it's only a 30 minute drive away!

The Byre is a lovely spacious property and an ideal base for exploring the local area.

It is warm, comfortable and well equipped with everything that you need for a relaxing holiday. There is plenty to do and see in the local area with great walks and lovely local towns to explore. The welcome basket of Welsh treats and fresh flowers were very much appreciated, and we loved your very friendly dogs and the peacocks that came to say hello each day. We would highly recommend The Byre to other holiday makers and also hope to make a return visit ourselves.

Lovely very clean and has everything you need beautiful views quiet location brecon beacon itself was stunning first visit also interesting canal network great twisty A and B roads through the black mountains highly recommended

Excellent, large property for two, conveniently situated near Abergavenny.

Entertained by resident peacocks and dogs.

Great property, it has everything you need.

My husband particularly like the dishwasher. It meant he didn't have to wash up for six whole days. The basket of Welsh treat were a lovely surprise. As were our morning visits by 3 beautiful peacock. Its in a great location with lots of places to explore.

Fabulous property in a stunning location.

Very comfortable and very well equipped coupled with a friendly welcome combined to make it a most enjoyable break

We really enjoyed our stay at the Byre.

It was so spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. In a quiet, beautiful location. Would highly recommend

Comfortable cottage in a lovely location.

We particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the suntrap. A bonus as the outside sitting area wasn't clear from the listing.

Amazing accommodation, lovely time, lovely owner.

Would definitely book again and highly recommend. Thank you

The pictures of The Byre do not give the place justice!

It’s absolutely beautiful inside and it’s so cosy and the perfect place to stay. We had a wonderful time and there’s all the amenities available and more. Kitty was an amazing host and even left us some fresh flowers and cakes and waffles for our arrival. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful location and Kitty our host was brilliant!

Really could not fault this holiday.

Excellent attention to detail.

You need for nothing. Very nice helpful people.

Overpriced for the standard of property without a private garden

Location, facilities and a nice play to stay Interesting residents many animals including peacocks, horses and a variety of friendly dogs!

! Wales is a great place to visit although be careful to check what is open, when it opens and if it is value for money - not always the case at the moment

Very comfortable and very well equipped in a lovely location, we would thoroughly recommend staying here.

The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable.

We did not see or speak to the owners at all whilst we were there, which was a little diasappointing: but they live very nearby. A lovely vase of flowers, and a selection of delicious goodies were kindly left in the kitchen area. The bed was really comfortable, and all the furniture and equipment were of a high standard. The surrounding area is beautiful - great for walkers when the weather is good. The Skirrid is only a mile away, and is well worth climbing, as the views from it are fantastic. There are peahens and at least one peacock wandering around outside The Byre, which was a treat! Parking was easy, and convenient. The town of Abergavenny is only a few miles away, and there is Morrison's , Aldi's and Tesco's there. There is a restaurant and a tearoom very nearby. The directions for getting there were very helpful and easy to follow.

The Byre was a perfect haven for us and gave us much-needed breathing space; moving house to rented (a gap of 11 days).

It is the most spacious and well-appointed holiday rental we have ever stayed in. The very quiet location means it is a great place to chill. We enjoyed many local walks. The owner and family were very helpful even though they were very busy. A friendly, relaxing stay. Thoroughly recommend.

Very nice holiday home, well equipped, but Mind your head on corner of cooker extractor fan, if you are tall.

Lots of nice walks close by.We were a bit restricted because of covid, it was fine as we stayed more local, But under normal circumstances, it was the perfect holiday destination. Kitty, Tim, and their son were friendly and helpful.

The Byre was very well equipped and had everything that you could want.

It was in a peaceful location and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Cosy underfloor heating, lovely warm cottage in January.

Enjoyed seeing the peacocks outside our window every day.

It was well equipped except no toilet roll good thing had kitchen roll with us.

There was no mobile signal and never saw the hosts. They did leave us milk and a cake.

Beautiful spot for exploring Brecons and surrounds.

Abergavenny is a super town with good eateries. The cottage was cosy and comfortable. but kitchen wasn’t very clean. No one there to greet us and had we not gone to ask for loo rolls on the first evening I am not sure if we would have seen our hosts at all. Which suits us in many ways. I bought eggs from the farm . Hosts then were very friendly and chatty . We could go anywhere on the farm and see the ponies bred there. Resident dogs were lovely but not when barking during the night around our cottage where they had free range. It did give us a dog fix having left our crew behind. Not much info in the welcome book. One restaurant recommended hasn’t done food for 8 years! But we found the walks we wanted any way and pubs to eat in. A very enjoyable restful quiet break.

We had a lovely stay at the Byre.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful and very clean, with underfloor heating throughout. When we arrived the owners had left a cake for us and milk in the fridge, which was really thoughtful. The cottage had everything we needed for the week including a dishwasher, washing machine & drier, microwave, toaster and so on. The location was perfect and so relaxing. We loved the fact that the cottage is on a working farm & we were surrounded by fields of sheep, cows and horses. The owners were really friendly and welcoming & we would definitely recommend The Byre to friends and family and would love to stay there again.

Beautiful setting and exquisite accommodation.

We stayed here for a long weekend but wished it could have been much longer. The owner made us feel very welcome with a cake and an Easter egg- a really kind thought. Would highly recommend.

Very comfortable accommodation in this beautiful part of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Animals and family nearby to help in anything you might want, but totally unobtrusive. Wide choice of places of interest to go. But for me the local walks, peace, fresh air, and tranquillity hit the spot.

2 weeks in a warm, homely well equipped cottage on a farm in beautiful Welsh countryside .

Everything we needed was there.

Very kind welcoming gestures of flowers, cake and milk. TV in lounge and bedroom. DVD player and DVDs Lots of leaflets about places to visit.

The Byre was very comfy and had everything (and more) that I needed.

Will definitely return!

had a lovely time.

cottage was well equipped and in an excellent location for walks and places to visit

The whole process of booking this break was a joy.

Sykes do things properly; I was kept informed, the technology all worked and the whole booking experience was easy. The Byre's is a lovely cottage and the rural setting is great. We booked because we needed a base for our booking at the Walnut Tree Inn. Our expectations were exceeded as the Byre is so spacious, welcoming, cosy and well-equipped that we'd come back again to have a proper holiday in the area. A delightful experience all round; thank you!

It was very relaxing with everything we could possibly want.

Loved it.

Beautiful surrounding area for walking Quiet location

Great location and accommodation

Host are really helpful and obliging.

Property the best ever.

This was the best holiday we've had.

We go to a self catering cottage each year and this has been the best one. The surroundings are beautiful and a brilliant base to explore The Black Mountains. We have already booked for September.

The Byre was probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed in, in terms of quality, comfort and equipment.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
