"A beautiful warm and cosy barn with loads of character and charm A great place ..."
A beautiful warm and cosy barn with loads of character and charm A great place to get out of the stormy weather that we had The host was very friendly and welcoming Would definitely recommend staying here
-
"We stacked the car with the usual, plus the nessary cleaning essentials, plus a sharp knife, but not needed."
Everything you could want or need in the kitchen was at the house... superbly fitted out. The house itself was really comfortable and the supply of firewood allowed us to fill the lounge with a warm glow as we settled back with a glass of wine after a day of walking in the hills.
So pleased you all had a lovely stay and the weather was really good, cold but very sunny! Hope to see you again sometime soon. Property Owner

"Pentre Barn is the perfect place to stay."
Beautiful house with everything you need. Beautiful surroundings, and two adorable spaniels Braxton and Delmi. Most of all, the owner Marion, who is the perfect host, puts the icing on the cake to a fantastic holiday place to stay. Very well situated for surrounding places to visit. Marion is very welcoming, friendly and sincere. Thankyou for another perfect stay at your beautiful Barn Conversion. Carl & Pam & Friends, West Yorks
So pleased you visited again. The dogs miss you all already! Such Lovely guests. Hope all goes well for you all. Lots of love xxx Property Owner

"This is a superb barn conversion which sits adjacent to the owner’s barn."
The owner Marion could not have been more friendly and happy to help make our stay perfect. When we arrived the wood burner was lit as were candles making it feel like home from home. The beds and linens were of great quality. There were generous add ons, such as bubble bath, tea coffee pods, ice and cakes. This is a perfect location too, 8 mins from Abergavenny and short drive from Skirrid and Sugar Loaf. Great pub also 5 mins away. Would suggest this is a place for people steady on their feet as there are some tricky stairs to the bedrooms but apart from that this is five stars all round.

"Marion went above and beyond to make our stay as perfect, easy and as cosy as possible."
There were so many special touches and it was an absolute delight to arrive to the fire roaring and the candles burning. It was the best airbnb we’ve stayed at as a group (and we go to a new place every year!) thank you Marion. We hope to be back again soon!
-
"We had a fantstic week at the cottage and our hostess Marian was simply lovely as well as the treats she left us."
The cottage is beautiful and the beds are really comfortable. Access to the property along the lane was easy after our initial journey up the smaller lane that we were sent along from the sat nav. The cottage is finished to a high standard with lots of little touches like (decent toilet paper) and nice soap. We came from the south west and access to the property along all the major roads made it a very nice and easy journey. Would highly recommend and no doubt we will be back at some stage in the future.
Thank you for you comments Marilyn. Pleasure getting to know you and so much thanks to Bernie, he was a star! Would be pleased to have you back anytime xxx Property Owner

"Beautiful comfortable barn with every facility provided including on site free range eggs!"
Unrivalled 360 degree views. The most hospitable hosts ever. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.
Pleased your home safe and sound. Glad my friends who were looking after the Barn while I was away for a few days, took care of you all. Thought you were such an easy going couple and would love to have you back soon. Hope you had eggs for breakfast ! Best wishes Marion. Property Owner

"Wow! The barn was stunning, such a beautiful building and renovated perfectly."
We were a bridal party of 6 staying the night before and some friends stayed the night of. Marion had the fire roaring for our arrival and was on hand to show us anything we needed and made us feel very welcome. The barn was fully equipped with plates and glasses, a great range cooker, lovely bathrooms, seating area with plenty of space to set up for hair and make up, and plenty of parking. We can only recommend Pentre Barn ❤️
Congratulations to Robyn and Mark on getting married. I’m sure you had a wonderful day and wish you every happiness for your future together. Best wishes Marion. Property Owner

"Really lovely stay at Pentre Barn, it's a beautifully presented cottage."
Location is brilliant, close proximity to the town whilst still feeling quiet and private, and Skirrid walkable from the door. Marion was a fantastic host, she made our stay very comfortable.
Thanks Amy and Charlie. You walked more this week than I do in a few months and the rain certainly didn’t put you off. I went to The Crown pub, as its so close to the Barn and haven’t been for ages and I know you made a visit. I have to say, it was a fantastic meal, so highly recommend for all guests. Keep well and good luck. Marion Property Owner

"We had the most wonderful stay in this gorgeous barn which was homely, comfortable, warm and clean."
Marion was a great host and left us some welcome treats which was a really lovely gesture. Marion was available on our arrival for a quick introduction which was great and provided us with some very helpful information about the barn and local amenities. The location of the barn was ideal for getting out each day to explore the local areas. We would 100% stay again!
Dear Lucy and Shawn Thank you for your comments. You were such a lovely couple and so glad you had quite a few days when the rain stopped and the afternoons were so sunny and warm. Next time you visit, make more noise, as I could only tell if you were in residence if your car was there. Thank you for.leaving the property extremely tidy. It,s always a great help when I do the change overs. Many thanks for that. Keep well. Marion. Property Owner

"Pentre Barn is just the most relaxing, peaceful and wonderful place to stay."
We loved it so much that we have recently returned from our second visit, this time for two weeks. The Barn is very homely with every creature comfort, spotlessly clean and just gorgeous. It is surrounded by views that will take your breath away. The property is located in an ideal spot for visiting local areas including Raglan Castle, the Brecon Beacons and the Forest of Dean. Abergavenny is a short drive away full of lovely shops, cafes and restaurants. Marion, our host, was delightful and so thoughtful, she takes care of everything, and we were treated to fresh eggs from the chickens that roam free, a bottle of bubbly and cake. Thank you Marion, you are the best, we loved our chats and walks in the fields, playing ball with 'the four legged boys'. Special memories of an idyllic place, highly recommend a stay here, you won't regret it. Marion, we will be back to stay with you again, lots of love Lorna and David

"My sister and I have just had a magnificent week at Pentre Barn, for girly time."
It is a lovely, very comfortable property - regardless of weather. We were there at Storm Agnes time and really appreciated the warmth with the log burner keeping us cosy. The situation is perfect, walking from the door or car trips to Abergavenny, Crickhowell and many more areas of the Brecon Beacons. It is a beautiful part of the country and one to be visited whenever a ‘quiet time’ is required - very restorative, especially as everyone we encountered during the week chatted like a good friend! Our host, Marion, was wonderful. Helpful if anything was needed and good fun. Her two Springer Spaniels of course are also great (as others have commented) really easy dogs to fall in love with! For a quiet and very restful holiday this can’t be beaten. Open space and the ability to listen to owls at night when in bed, but before dropping off to sleep is fantastically therapeutic. No more needs to be said.
It was a pleasure to have you both stay at the barn. You made the most of your stay and visited many of the attractions in the area. The rural setting suited you both and the dogs couldn’t wait to see you every day for play time. Thank you for your comments and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Keep well. Marion. Property Owner

"Marian was a wonderful host."
She warned us building noise but we heard little. We were welcomed with a much appreciated bottle of fizz, delicious cake and eggs from the chickens that are free range and lots of delicious herbal teas as well as fresh ground coffee and tea. Some milk would have been nice to make some tea after the journey but nitpicking really. We had a couple of gas BBQs that were fantastic too. The chickens roam free and are a delight to watch. The property dogs are brilliant, they know they are not allowed in your property and so they throw toys or a ball into your front door for you to play with them. Brilliant. If you ignore them they go away. But they were good fun. The accomodation was enjoyable and a great place for walking and visiting local places. We enjoyed Raglan Castle and lovely lunch at Beaufort hotel (think it's called that?) The views from front and back of the property are wonderful and encourage you to walk to the top...so we did and you should too. Abergavenny was the nearest town. Good selection of supermarkets and local stores. Lovely bakery in town for sour dough as well as cakes. There is brilliant cheese shop, have lunch and share a platter. It's just a delight. As you can tell 5 stars. That reminds me, the stars at night from the main bedroom balcony are simply amazing. Promise you will never have seen so many. Absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much for your feedback Margaret. Your family were a delight and hope you enjoyed a fabulous anniversary with your family. I know it meant a lot to be together. We would be delighted to have you stay again. Hope you had a wonderful rest xxxx Kind regards Marion W Property Owner

"Couldn't think of a better place to stay in south Wales."
Marion is a superb host and made our stay excellent. Pentre Barn was the perfect place for hikes in Brecon Beacons, a day in Cardiff, and just a chill around the house.
It was a pleasure to have you both staying at The Barn. Would welcome you both back anytime. Keep well and hope to see you again sometime soon. Marion. Property Owner

"This property is fantastic."
We had a wedding at Sant Fraed locally. The house was spotlessly clean. The views 360 degrees are outstanding. Most of all the owner Marion was simply amazing so friendly helpful,Marion could not do enough to make our daughters wedding a success. We did cause chaos with the amount of visitors.Flower lady hairdressers make up artists etc.a truly amazing host cannot thank you enough.We will come back to stay again soon Thanks a million Marion .

"Marion and Ian are the perfect hosts and we could not have asked for more from our stay at the beautiful Pentre Barn."
The location is stunning and the accommodation itself is both spacious and spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The opportunity to get to know Marion, Ian and their two awesome dogs was an absolute pleasure. Straight from the off everything was catered for and communication with Marion was fantastic - could not have asked for better. We would highly recommend Pentre Barn to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful and unique place to stay right in the heart of the countryside. Only rating our stay as '5 Stars' because '6 Stars' is not available. A truly beautiful place run by brilliant and lovely people. We would all certainly return for another stay. Thank you so much for having us. Matt, Amy & Kate xxx
Dear Matt, Amy and Kate. We are blown away by your stunning review. Thank you very very much. We are delighted your enjoyed our home as much as we do. We both feel however that The Barn is probably tailor made for clients with your style, manners and mutual respect. We both felt that you left The Barn as clean as you found it. Thank you. Such a pleasure to discover at changeover. Please come and see us again when you fancy a stay in South Wales. The pleasure of your company was entirely ours. With all best wishes Marion, Ian, Delmie and Brack xxx Property Owner

"We had a very relaxing stay at Pentre Barn."
Beautiful setting. Marion and Ian are truly wonderful hosts. They were very thoughtful and considerate regarding our Autistic 23 year old son, who loved being able to be in his own space on the balcony attached to the bedroom, watching the world go by ...
Dear Andrew, Karen and Jack. Thank you very much for your kind words. We thoroughly enjoyed your company at The Barn. We were especially delighted that Jack enjoyed his stay and was soon very comfortable and happy here. He is a credit to you both. Please come and see us again anytime you fancy a spell in South Wales. Hope to see you in the future. With our very best wishes. Marion and Ian xx Property Owner

"An outstanding place to stay."
It would be difficult to imagine a nicer cottage. The furnishings, decor, facilities and everything in Pentre Barn is to the highest standard and quality I’ve experienced. The owners have thought of everything, really. They are also very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Most definitely 5 star luxury in every respect. I will be booking another stay at Pentre Barn sometime next year, I’m certain.
Thank you for your very kind words. We are so pleased you enjoyed it and we too enjoyed your company. It will be our pleasure to see you in Abergavenny again. Look forward to it,, With all best wishes Marion and Ian Property Owner

"This is an outstanding property, probably the best we've stayed in."
It is a very spacious and well appointed barn conversion with parking right outside the door, and unlike many conversions was cozy even in sub zero temperatures. The location is rural with lovely views in all directions and has easy access to the main road. The location is good as well, with easy access to the surrounding areas. The owners of this property are very nice people and nothing seems too much trouble for them. The only potential downside to this place is that the soild oak staircase would be problematic for people with severely limited mobility.
Dear Robyn and Lynette. Thank you ever so much for your lovely words. We are delighted you enjoyed it. Come and see us next time you’re in South Wales. With all best wishes. Marion and Ian x Property Owner

"We had a wonderful Christmas week at Pentre Barn."
The property was stunning with every room beautifully furnished. The quality and cleanliness was outstanding, the beds were super comfy and the kitchen was perfect where we cooked lovely meals and spent lots of quality family time around the beautiful oak table. The barn was well equipped with everything we needed and more. The hosts had put up a gorgeous Christmas tree & decorations for our stay, they were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. This is a great location and it was lovely to wake up to the stunning mountain views each morning. We would 100% recommend this property and hope to visit again soon.
Pleasure to meet you all and so pleased you enjoyed Christmas at Pentre Barn. Hope to see you again sometime soon. Marion and Ian xx Property Owner

"This property was amazing."
Fantastic views and lovely inside with everything you need. Kitchen well equipped. Lovely hosts, so helpful. Just be aware the heating is controlled by owners attached to you. Only came on around 4 in day, not in morning.It did have some underfloor heating in bathroom, but in -3 degrees and snow when we stayed in December, it was quite cold for us coming downstairs and in bedrooms.The owner said to light the woodburner as wood free but we wanted to come down to an already warm area to have breakfast before having to ligh a fire. The owner did eventually change the heating timings to include a few hours in the mornings.The owners are also attached through a sort of wall screen. It was soundproof but we could see the shadows and tv lighting. It was perfectly private and you could not see right through but just something that should be mentioned in description. We had an amazing week.
Thank you for your constructive feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. I’m puzzled about the heating feedback though. Yes the heating is controlled from the main part of the house. It’s always been this way, but it comes on and off morning and evening much the same as anybody else’s home. It is sometimes difficult to cater for everybody’s individual preferences. For example we find that some guests open windows at night, they’re too hot. Hence the option of the wood burner. We are of course always happy to cater for individual needs but an option for ad lib heating simply isn’t viable I’m afraid. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay overall though Property Owner

"We had a wonderful time from start to finish."
The property was everything we'd hoped for and more. We received a lovely warm welcome from the owners. The guidance and leaflets in the barn and the advice of the owners ensured that we were never short of things to do, places to go or good food to eat. The location is fantastic for shopping, walking, kids, golf and general adventure. And the dogs were lovely too.
We are both so pleased you enjoyed The Barn and your stay in South Wales. Lovely to meet you. Our pleasure. Hope to see you again Marion, Ian, Brackston and Delmie x Property Owner

"We had a fab time at Pentre Barn!"
The barn itself is beautifully furnished and incredibly well looked after. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were super comfortable. Really can't fault it! Marion was such a friendly and helpful host. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone - a great base in Wales close to Abergavenny.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to be with you. Come and see us again. Best regards Marion and Ian x. Property Owner

"The holiday cottage and the owners were just lovely and perfect for what we wanted, a rural retreat with everything that you need to cook meals and eat in the gorgeous kitchen and large dining table and to drink wine and play games by the fireplace with a roaring fire."
Perfect hosts.
Very nice to be with you too. Thank you for your kind words. Hope to see you again Best regards Marion and Ian x Property Owner

"Pentre Barn is a stunning property located amongst the Black Mountains and set in 14 acres of farmland with panoramic breathtaking views."
The barn itself has been beautifully renovated with attention to detail and comfort at its heart. It is fully equipped - nothing has been overlooked. A perfect place to stay for peace and quiet and total relaxation. The owners, Marion and Ian are delightful, caring people who want their guests to enjoy their stay at the property. We had a wonderful time and will return! Thank you Marion and Ian.

"We had a great time and the barn was spacious and comfortable."
Great having the fire and a treat having logs etc supplied for us. Lovely welcome and we were made to feel like nothing was too much trouble. The dogs provided great company! Kitchen was well equipped but could do with a larger frying pan and a couple more baking sheets. There was a great welcome hamper so we enjoyed cake and wine in the garden looking out over the hills. A lovely property.
Thank you for your kind words. We’re pleased you enjoyed it. New kitchen utensils installed now. Come and see us again soon Best regards Marion,Ian, Brack and Del x Property Owner

"We had a fantastic stay at Pentre Barn."
It’s a gorgeous rustic house with all the creature comforts of a 5 star hotel. Set in the beautiful Welsh mountains but also being close to Abergavenny made it the perfect location, I would definitely come back. Marion was also an excellent host.
-
"The property and location were perfect in every way, loved the welcome from our host including cream cakes and wine which were a lovely thoughtful surprise, looking forward to a return visit to see you and the spaniels again."

"We had a brilliant holiday in Pentre Barn."
It is in a wonderful location, with superb views all around. The cottage is really well equipped and furnished to a very high standard. The owners seem to have thought of everything needed to make this a truly memorable experience and the generous welcome goodies, which included fresh milk and eggs were very much appreciated. This holiday property is highly recommended and we will definitely be retuning.
-
"We had a fabulous week at Pentre Barn; a super, well appointed property in a beautiful & peaceful location with fantastic 360 views and yet only minutes from Abergavenny and all the shops/restaurants etc you could want."
Marion was a lovely, friendly host and was always available if needed but otherwise left us to our own devices - the welcome goodies were very much appreciated too & included a delicious chocolate cake! Lots to do & see nearby and even the weather was pretty good most days :-)
-
"Lovely hosts who provided a very well equipped stay and were so friendly."
The cottage is in an excellent location with breathtaking views. Overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would love to come back.

"It is our 2nd time staying at Pentre Barn, it’s such a Beautiful place and has everything is could ask for and Marion and Ian make it extra special."
Location is brilliant and on top of so many walks, very close to Morrisons and Waitrose for shopping. Will definitely be returning
-
"We had a fantastic three weeks at Pentre Barn."
The cottage is extremely comfortable and has everything you need for a stay of any length. Marion and Ian went out of their way to make us feel welcome and by the end it truly felt like a home away from home. Only wish we could have stayed longer!
-
"We had a lovely time at Pentre Barn."
Marion and Ian provided a very warm welcome - and were on hand when we needed them but otherwise left us to our own devices. Pentre Barn exceeded our expectations. It's a lovely place to stay - a barn coverted to a very high standard. Every room has its own charm, and we were very comfortable there. The setting is delightful, with lovely views of Skirrid and Sugar Loaf, walks on the doorstep, and only 5 minute drive to shops etc. The woodburner and cosy lounge were just want we needed during a winter break, and we definitely plan to visit again. We thoroughly recommend a visit!
-
"We enjoyed a lovely week at Pentre Barn."
Marion and Ian were there to greet us with a warm welcome and a chocolate log and other goodies!
-
"Marion and Ian clearly care about their home and their guests and this really shone through."
We immediately felt welcomed and at home. The 360 degree views that surround the property are stunning. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen diner area is a brilliant space for socialising and relaxing. The conversion of this barn has been done quite sympathetically and has a lot of character. It would be a cozy and comfortable place to stay at any time of the year.
-
"What a truely wonderful place to stay!"
Marion and ian are lovely hosts ,welcome you on arrival,give suggestions on places to go and let you anywhere on their land. The barn is perfect ,with fire ready lit and a welcome package of fresh eggs and milk !bedrooms are comfy and well kitted out with some stunning views!

"Pentre Barn and it’s hosts, Marion & Ian could not have been more perfect."
The accommodation was absolutely stunning (the photos just don’t do it justice) and the owners had thought of everything. The welcome package and the welcome itself from Marion & Ian was so lovely and a real personal touch. The view from the accommodation and the surrounding area is beautiful and our hosts were keen to recommend local visits and places to eat. All in all we couldn’t have wished for better experience and we will certainly book here again when visiting the area in the future. Pentre Barn is the best accommodation we’ve stayed in so far and the hosts were the most welcoming we’ve experienced. This all made for a wonderful stay. Many thanks!
-
"We loved staying here, from the moment we arrived Marion greeted us and she was so friendly and welcoming, we had bread, bottle of wine and eggs waiting for us."
Our daughters wanted to keep seeing their puppies which they let them do continuously. We will definitely be returning, we couldn’t ask for more in a cottage
-
"Marion and Ian were so friendly and helpful - they really made our stay."
The puppies were an absolute highlight for my children, and both Marion and Ian were incredibly generous in letting the children play and walk the puppies with them. The property was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. The bed were comfy and the property was warm and cosy. Thank you Ian and Marion!
-
"It was too short a stay."
Lovely owners, beautiful location and wonderful property.
-
"Lovely welcome from Marion the owner and very generous welcome gifts."
Really comfortable and lovely facilities.
-
"Marion is the perfect hostess - thoughtful and generous."
We loved how the whole barn inside and out were full of flowers. Fortunately for us we arrived just as she welcomes 2 puppies, which was a real bonus for our children. Do not let the fact the property adjoins her own put you off - Marion was discreet throughout and we didn't feel at all she impinged on our privacy. If anything we left feeling jealous that she gets to live in this beautiful part of Wales.
-
"A beautiful tranquil spot."
The accommodation is really nice and the owners are extremely friendly and attentive, they did everything to enhance our stay. A Welcoming and relaxing break with amazing views. We hope to revisit in the future.
-
"The cottage was fabulous."
It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. Marion is a wonderful host and made us feel really welcome. We were greeted with flowers, freshly baked bread and other treats on our arrival. There are beautiful views from the cottage and the location is great for exploring the Brecons. We spent a brilliant 2 weeks there and would highly recommend. We plan to go back!
-
"We had a fabulous stay at Pentre Barn, the hosts couldn't do enough for us."
The facilities were excellent and comfortably slept our family of 5.
-
"Pentre Barn and Abergavenny are great places to go for a holiday."
We had 3 lovely weeks exploring the area and its many hills, walks and restaurants. Marion and Ian are great hosts who really make you feel very welcome and well cared for. I would thoroughly recommend Pentre Barn to anybody looking for a restful and enjoyable holiday in Wales.
-
"The hosts were excellent, so welcoming and lovely."
The accommodation was spotless, beautiful and had all we needed. The location is quiet and the views are amazing. We would definitely go again!
-
"We had a wonderful time in this beautiful, very well equipped barn."
Everything was spotlessly clean and the bed and sofas could not be more comfy! Marion & Ian were perfect hosts and the welcome pack was very much appreciated. The views from the barn are to die for, we really didn't want to go home and would love to go back for another visit.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing holiday with glorious weather."
This is a stunning barn conversion, spotlessly clean and equipped and furnished to a very high standard as well as being spacious and cosy with comfortable beds. The surrounding countryside and views are quite lovely and the lawns and gardens around the barn are beautifully maintained. What an incredibly generous welcome pack, which even included eggs from Marion's own chickens. On arrival we were given a warm welcome by Marion and Ian who were were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We are looking forward to a return visit in the future and have to finish by saying how lovely it was to be back in South Wales, where the welcome is second to none.
-
"Beautiful barn conversion lovingly done to a stunning specification."
Owner, Marion, couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful with advice on places to see and even local pubs & restaurants. The house was very comfortable, excellent indoor and outdoor space, surprisingly good WiFi and was very well equipped with everything we could possibly have wanted. And we had wall to wall sunshine too - couldn't have been happier ☀️
-
"Beautiful location, lovely house and friendly hosts."
We really enjoyed our stay.
-
"Exceeded our expectations!"
Both the hosts and the property were amazing. The host went above and beyond to ensure we had all we needed during our stay. The barn itself is a clean, spacious but cosy place. The gardens and lawns are meticulously maintained which really stands this property out from the hills, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All modern amenities available and the log burner during the evenings was great too. We will definitely return and see more of what the Brecon Beacons have to offer in the future.
-

"Pentre Barn was amazing."
One of the nicest places I've ever stayed in. Everything was immaculate and beautifully furnished. So many little touches that make all the difference. Marion was an amazing host. Can't fault anything and can't wait to go back some day!
-
"We had a great time over 3 nights, the location is great and the property is exactly how it looks in the photographs."
the thing that sets this apart from other places I have stayed is the warm welcome from the owners who were on hand to answer any questions and really made us feel really welcomed. I highly recommend staying here.

"We arrived at the cottage to a warm fire and an even warmer welcome from our thoughtful hosts who had provided milk, wine and farm fresh eggs."
The living room was spacious but cosy. The kitchen was modern and well-equipped with a beautiful table ideal for family gatherings. The bedrooms were comfortable and tasteful. The barn in the Brecon Beacon National Park was surrounded on all sides by mountains and green fields and the views were stunning.The cottage seemed to throw its arms around us and was the perfect antidote to the effects and confines of the pandemic. Can't wait to share it with other family members when we are allowed to meet up. Many thanks to Marion and Ian who went out of their way to ensure our every comfort.

"This was one of the best holidays we’ve had!"
The owners were amazing and couldn’t help any more to make sure you have a wonderful stay. The barn is so cosy yet spacious, and the facilities were a very high spec. The views of the surrounding hills and mountains are amazing. We cannot recommend this barn highly enough, and would love to return here very soon.

"We had a great stay at Pentre Barn, the location is superb surrounded by wonderful views and hills, it's very peaceful, yet also just a couple of miles from Abergavenny so the best of both worlds."
The house is very comfortable and homely - all the little attention to details make it feel like a home from home. Marion and Ian are great hosts, and were really keen to ensure we had everything we needed, including for our 1 year old daughter. The eggs from the chickens and the homemade bread and chutney were also delicious! Abergavenny is a lovely town, we really enjoyed the great local walks followed by coming back and relaxing by the fire. We would highly recommend a stay at Pentre Barn.

"We had an absolutely fabulous week and a half at Pentre Barn and have certainly never stayed in a holiday cottage so well prepared and appointed."
It certainly exceeded our expectations. Everything was immaculately clean, considered, and the attention to detail both inside and out was impressive (the lawns are immaculate!!). The views were stunning and the Barn is extremely peaceful though in easy reach of both Abergavenny and other roads which makes it a perfect base to explore the Beacons and surrounding area. The owner, Marion, and her partner Ian, live next to the Barn, were both brilliant hosts and great company. They could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We were so lucky with the hot weather and spent several evenings chatting and sharing a bottle or two of Rosé – and we were even invited to taste the delights of Ian’s BBQ. I could not recommend the property more highly. Truly exceptional.
