Cottage vacation rentals in Blaenau Gwent

Just to say Angela and James were the best hosts and we have stayed in our fair share of Airbnb’s. The photos just do not do this place justice, it was absolutely spotlessly clean throughout and so modern inside and out, it really was lovely vibe and we will definitely be back one day.

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

Fantastic peaceful stay in a beautifully located area. The accomodation was everything we hoped for from the details given on the website. The owners were friendly and responsive to any questions we had. Detailed instructions were at the property for everything and Joe came to meet us to explain everything in more detail. Even how to get the fire going to enable the heating to work. They even came by each day to check the hot tub and set the fire up ready to light it when we came back Every detail was thought of within the property from milk in the fridge to board games We loved the geese and ducks on site We loved the hot tub and sauna room too The local pub and food recommendations and local places to visit were greatly appreciated too We would highly recommend this place to friends/family who want to get away from it all and totally relax with the benefit of being a short drive to nearby towns and visitor attractions if you need that too

We had the most incredible stay at Tyr Ywen! The cottage is even more beautiful in person—cozy, spotless, and thoughtfully designed with everything you could possibly need. Waking up to the peaceful countryside views every morning was such a treat. It felt like a true escape from the world. The hosts were friendly and responsive, making check-in seamless and stress-free. The logburner was a lovely touch in the evenings, and the kitchen had all the essentials for home-cooked meals. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave! Fantastic hottube and views of the Sugar loaf. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway with stunning scenery. Can’t wait to come back!

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.

Perfect place to stay for a family with young children. Very hospitable and helpful hosts. Our highlights were the waterfalls walks, the National Showcaves Centre, Techniquest in Cardiff and climbing Pen Y Fan. Lovely house, great location.

We had a lovely overnight stay. The local walks were beautiful and it was clean and comfortable. The hot tub was great - ready to use straight away and very clean. beautiful bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. Hosts were easy to communicate with and I'd happily stay again. Yhank you!

Wow, just wow, is all I need to say! This was one of the best airbnb experiences we have had. The place itself is idyllic, in the middle of the valleys in Wales. Its within walking distance to Sugar Loaf and a short drive to other peaks. It has everything you need, beds are super comfy, its clean and is so cosy! The hot tub is such a lovely bonus and with the river next to it, its great for a quick cold dip!! If you are bringing dogs, the garden is fully enclosed, so nothing to worry about. The host was so friendly. Gave us some great ideas for walks and pubs in the area. We absolutely cant wait to come back, we will be recommending this place to all our friends and family.

Really good place to stay. Very homely and comfortable. It’s a remote spot surrounded by dramatic scenery and an easy step outside to go on yomps across the beacons. I’ve been to a couple of Air B N B’s in the area and Bertie’s home was right up there. I would recommend this to a friend.

I really feel we lucked out here with the village and the house. We wanted to visit the area but didn’t know much about the towns and villages. Crickhowell was perfect, a really lovely village with lots of great independent shops and cafes and some great pubs. The cottage is perfectly located in the village. There are some great hikes you can do from the cottage or others are just a short drive. The cottage was very welcoming and comfortable. Lots of room, good sized bedrooms and a some lovely seating areas downstairs. Nice garden for our dog as well. We were really pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to come back and stay again.

Lovely cottage to base ourselves for the waterfalls walk and exploring the local area. Cottage was well equipped, comfy and very clean. We had a great stay. Shower is amazing!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Bullrush Barn. Rachel was always prompt and clear in her communication and the barn was just a wonderful space, in a beautiful place. It is private, accessible, quiet, and really well-appointed. I highly recommend it and would love to go back again soon!

Great little spot by the river. We were comfotable there for two nights and had a great walk at Sugar Loaf Mountain. We liked the pub next door and the excellent Restaurant across the river with top notch al La Carte menu. As this building must have once been a Toll House for the bridge it is on the road so take ear-plugs if you sleep light. We had no issue with it at all after lots of fresh air and a good dinner! Karen was kind to leave us some welcome treats and we found everything as described for a family get-together. Thankyou.

Wonderful return stay. The cottage is comfortable, cosy and well equipped. Perfect location with lovely walks from the doorstep. Great shops and places to eat in Abergavenny and nearby (Baffle Haus and The Retreat). Will visit again soon!

We had a cosy, comfortable stay at The Walkers Rest, with stunning views right from the windows. We made good use of the provided map for a beautiful hike around the local area, spotting plenty of spring lambs along the way. A late request to Angharad for use of the sauna was kindly accommodated, and it turned out to be the perfect final touch to our stay. The sauna features large windows so you can soak in the mountain views and we even heard owls calling in the evening! We’ll definitely be returning!

Carol’s place was superb. A lovely two bed cottage with absolutely everything we needed for a short trip away. We travelled with two little ones and Carol provided a travel cot and booster seat which saved us bringing our own. The cottage itself was spotless, as described and very homely. Carol as a host was a great communicator from booking through to check out. Even when I messaged to say we had left something behind she quickly replied and organised her cleaner to sort it for us. The area is a beautiful one with the local towns of Crickhowell and Abergavenny definitely worth a visit. Would love to stay again in future.

Fantastic stay, very clean, great area, Joanne did a great job as a host and might as-well be a tour guide, she gave us lots of information about the best local spots and walks. Would stay again.

Meryl’s cottage was perfect for us. Spotlessly clean and tidy and great location for exploring the valleys. Meryl responded quickly to the few questions I had and was always helpful and friendly. Check in was easy and instructions were clear. A quiet location and we felt safe there. Thank you Meryl.

Fantastic stay at Craig's place, lovely house! There was a problem with the heating but Craig did everything he could to sort it out within a very quick time and communicated throughout. Thank you so much for everything, the snacks were very well received and everything we needed was there. We would recommend this place.

Great Airbnb, we had a good stay over the weekend, quiet peaceful area, easy simple access and close parking. Definitely recommend.

Lovely stay in the valleys. Joe was great at communicating, advising us on pubs, sorting out us storing our bikes as well as all the usual check-in stuff. All the locals in Six Bells are lovely and welcoming, the neighbour told us about her family featuring on the information board down at the Guardian of the Valley monument (which we went to visit). We went to the Local Pub and were welcomed warmly. The bed was so comfy, slept like a log and we particularly liked the beautiful rugs and furniture in the house, gave the place a lovely feel. The kitchen was a little hectic with so many pots, pans and utensils but we found everything we needed. Shower was good and hot also. Keen to explore more of the valleys and the experience at Joe and Bea’s place made us feel right at home.

Picturesque terraced cottage in a pretty street in a town which is pretty. Prompt replies and support. Thoughtful host who very kindly on this Easter weekend stay had left a little chocolate bunny for the two children staying. Lovely little garden at the rear of the cottage

A beautiful cottage in a great location. The place is well furnished and was spotlessly clean. Would definitely be happy to stay here again.

We had a fantastic time staying at Helen's house. The bed was really comfy and the kitchen had everything you could need. The walks straight from the front door are excellent. Helen also made us a delicious cake which was much appreciated. Helen also let us stay on way past our checkout time so we could get an extra walk in before we left to go home. Highly recommended. We would definitely go back.
