Cottage vacation rentals in Blaenau Gwent

We had such a lovely time at James’ Place. We booked for my parents birthday and Angela and James’ went the extra mile with a card, chilled bottle of Prosecco on arrival and homemade Welsh cakes. On the lead up to the booking, James/Angela provided us with lots of recommendations for things to do/places to eat. Nothing was too much trouble. The house and garden/patio area was superb and spacious. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much James and Angela.

It was the perfect cosy cottage to spend Christmas together as a family gathering from Dorset, Gloucester and locally. Thank you!

A great base for our half term break. Very peaceful and good location for exploring by car. The hosts were responsive and on hand if needed. Lovely little touches as we stayed over Halloween, we had a Halloween shower curtain and the chicken pen was decorated with Halloween bits which the kids really enjoyed. Seeds were provided so we could feed the chickens and geese in the field right by the house. Plenty of wood was provided to keep the fire going and warm the house.

I've stayed in several places around the area over the years, This was a bit of a gem however. The site itself has plenty of amenities but is also very conveniently located. it's even well enough known in the community that restaurants can easily deliver. After a birthday spent walking the hills, the hot tub was the perfect way to relax and the house itself was wonderfully warm and well furnished. I would absolutely visit again and recommend to others.

It’s a cozy place perfect for family’s , it was the most cozy experience ever , jacuzzi already going , play arena for the kids plenty of board games lovely kitchen bathrooms and bedrooms Deffo book again it was great

What a little gem 💎 Amazing few nights away for our 1st Valentines. Hot tub so relaxing, fire was lovely to relax in front of. Bath huge! Thank you for the welcome treats left on arrival. Stunning, would certainly return in the future! Thank you both.

My girlfriend and I recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at Hersey’s cottage, and we couldn’t have been more delighted with our experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home in this spacious and well-equipped retreat. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable and cozy stay. The wood-burning fire added such a warm and inviting atmosphere, and having the wood provided was a thoughtful touch. The jacuzzi was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring, and the BBQ, complete with provided coal, made for some fantastic outdoor meals. One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful natural surroundings. Our hosts were incredibly kind and went the extra mile to provide us with hiking routes, allowing us to fully explore the stunning landscape. Evenings by the river, sitting around a crackling fire, were pure magic—one of those rare moments in life that you never want to end. We genuine

Great accommodation with little extras like dog towels and treats. Very much enjoyed our stay and loved the space we had. The perfect base for our exploring

Bertie and house were very welcoming. Recommended a great walk up the valley and back with great views. House was very comfortable and well equipped. Enjoyed the art and photographs and there are plenty of good books if you are there for a while!

Had a great stay at Gerwyns place, it was clean and tidy and the communication was brilliant. Thanks again Gerwyn, would stay again in the future.

We spent a lovely long weekend here. The space is a great, comfortable size for 4 adults and a baby and would have comfortably fit another 2 children or an adult. The property was lovely and clean. Parking was convenient and there was also the option for electric charging, although we didn't use this. My only negative comment is the double mattresses are quite squeaky, although I probably wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't getting up in the night with the baby. Despite this they are comfortably firm. The location is peaceful and quiet, in beautiful surroundings, and right next to the canal for a lovely flat walk (suitable for a pram). We were attending a wedding at Peterstone Court and it was a very convenient 5/10 minite drive or 50 minute walk. Rachel was very quick at responding to queries. I would highly recommend a stay here.

We had a beautiful stay at this house. exceeded expectations as the space is lovely and big and yet still cosy. Well equipped with everything you might need. Neighbours are friendly, and had no trouble parking. Hosts available when needed, would recommend this stay. we come to wales twice a year so will definatley return. thankyou again.

Lovely little cottage. Beautiful views from windows (Llangattock mountain and escarpment, river Usk). Cosy cottage with log burner (logs there when we arrived), which was perfect to warm the spirits after a day out in the mountains. Welcome goodies gratefully received and enjoyed. The traffic was noticeable at busy times but not a nuisance. Very useful having parking opposite. Although next door to a pub, we didn’t hear any noise from there at all. Crickhowell is a lovely little town, with quite a few independent shops. Highly recommend both butchers, friendly Grenfell’s grocery store, no waste store, Book-Life bookshop and cafe and the food at The Bear is outstanding! Thanks Karen. Lovely stay.

We had the most perfect stay! Absolutely gorgeous cosy cottage - we all felt so at home. Incredibly comfy beds, gorgeous fires, well equipped kitchen and perfect instructions for easy arrival - thank you! Wish we could have stayed longer.

We spent a wonderful few days exploring the Brecon Beacons and really enjoyed staying in this cosy, comfortable retreat. A sauna and a lovely woodburner to relax with after a hard days walking. Perfectly dog friendly and a lovely private outside space to sit and relax in. Angharad and Owen are superb hosts who responded to our questions immediately and are super friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely be returning.

I booked Lilac Cottage as a base for working at Nevill Hall hospital in Abergavenny. I was mostly alone for 2 weeks (a few days with my family in the middle) and the cottage was the perfect size for me. Lovely, comfortable living room, functional and bright kitchen, comfy bed upstairs and nice big bath in bathroom as well. Cottage was always warm and the wifi was reliable and fast for my work in the evenings. Family time was great, just a few mins away from Abergavenny, Crickhowell, etc. Lots of nature to explore! I brought my bike down and took advantage of Lilac Cottage's bike shed as well! For nights in, big, modern TV with connected apps for movie night on the comfy couch. Can adjust TV angle to point anywhere in the room. Had a fantastic takeaway night at the dining room table with my wife and 3YO son. So much fun. Above all, Carol was a fantastic hostess. Always on the end of the phone and v communicative at all hours. Very friendly and warm made the stay so hassle-free!

We are returning guests. This is a lovely, cosy little cottage, perfectly positioned for great walking in several stunning areas, some straight from the front door. Alison is a fabulous host, always responding to any questions quickly. There is everything we need - plenty of clean bed linen, towels etc., and a nice comfy bed too. This year, the weather was good enough for us to use the barbecue too!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay for our long weekend in Wales. the cottage was stunning and really well equipped with everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Rob and Neil have put a lot of thought and love into the cottage and it definitely felt like home for us. We really didn't want to leave! The location was also perfect for us with some amazing hiking on the doorstep. Thank you so much for having us at your peaceful and homely Farmhouse. We loved it.

Joanne saved our bacon when we needed to find a place to stay very short notice. The cottage was cute and cosy and had everything we needed. Backs on to the TAF trail with beautiful woodland for lovely walks. Fab pub just a 5 mins walk away The Glantaff Inn. So friendly there. Perfect base for our exploration of the Brecon Beacons. Joanne was wonderful and so helpful. Thank you 😊

We had a lovely stay at the cottage over Christmas. The home is exactly as described and identical to the photos shown. Loved how responsive Meryl was to my messages and that she added some little Christmas touches for our stay. We found some lovely walks a short drive away and we loved exploring the area. The double bed in the main bedroom was super comfy and the home had all items we needed to ensure we had a lovely stress free break. Thanks so much Meryl. We will definitely be back.

5 star location. We where looking for a place to escape the tourist session (we live in Cornwall) & be by the mountains. We look for middle of nowhere and peacefulness when looking for holidays & this is perfect for both. This being said there is the town of brecon just a short drive so you have everything you might need there. Perfect place to go walking from as you can get to smaller carparks just round the corner and walk up the North face of both Cribyn and Pen Y Fan which is a much nicer and quieter walk than the main carparks. The house is what you would expect from the description and photos. we all felt at home straight away. the girls loved staying here & were very sad to leave. It is a old farmhouse & not a 5 star hotel so keep that in mind when booking. Things that are not in the description- there is a stairgate fitted at the top of the landing which was great as we had a 3 year old staying. No light pollution in the evenings & being able to reverse in tight lanes is helpfu

Ramblers Rest is a lovely, cosy cottage within easy reach of local amenities and lots of great walks. The cottage is homely, well-equipped and very comfortable. It was perfect for a winter walking break.

A very unique accommodation in the most beautiful place with outstanding views. The ‘Cow Shed’ is warm & cosy on a winters night, and the log burner is a great feature to the space. As Jonathan has explained in his description the kitchen is still a working progress, but this does not deter from how great the facilities are. We ate in both nights and felt very at home cooking in the kitchen space. The bathroom is stunning and is finished to a high spec as if the bedroom. Location is excellent, only a short drive into the local village of Crickhowell. And only a 30/40mins drive to the Brecon Beacons. The main road from here to the beacons is the most amazing drive. Would recommend using ‘what3words’ to find as it took us straight to the doorstep :) Thank you for having us stay!

Some lovely little touches, easy check in and lots of little extras. Thank you
