Trewyn Coach House, Pandy, Abergavenny

Trewyn Coach House is a traditional stone retreat at the foot of the Black Mountains in Brecon Beacons. This 4-star property sits in the small hamlet of Trewyn, just 5.5 miles from Abergavenny. Perfect for families or groups of friends looking to escape the rat race without sacrificing comfort. The handcrafted oak staircase and ornate four-poster bed show the attention to detail throughout.

The location is bloody brilliant. Positioned just a mile from Pandy with direct access to the Black Mountains and Offa's Dyke pathway. Explore the lovely gardens and woodland with babbling brooks and hidden benches. Dogs will think they've died and gone to heaven with all this space to run around. After a day of hiking, you'll appreciate having local villages nearby for supplies and a cheeky pint.

The accommodation sleeps 7 across 3 bedrooms. The master features that gorgeous four-poster bed and en-suite shower room. There's a standard double with courtyard views, plus a quirky triple room with handcrafted cabin beds. The main bathroom has a shower over bath. Downstairs, the lounge has large glazed doors opening onto the courtyard, while the kitchen-diner comes fully equipped.

Nearby attractions include Abergavenny (5.5 miles, 15 minutes), known for its food festival and castle. Visit Crickhowell (12 miles, 25 minutes) with its independent shops. Hay-on-Wye (20 miles, 35 minutes) is perfect for bookworms. The stunning Llanthony Priory (6 miles, 15 minutes) offers atmospheric ruins in a valley setting.

Trewyn Coach House delivers the goods with that wood-fired hot tub waiting for you after a day's adventures. Who doesn't want to soak under the stars with a glass of something naughty? I'd book it again in a heartbeat.
