Reviews
Lovely cottage - very compact but great design so room for everything without feeling cramped. In a small village with 2 great pubs - the Towpath Inn and Corn Exchange, the first of these just a few yards from the front door. Great location for exploring the Brecon beacons - loads to do and see in beautiful countryside. No private outside space but close to the canal so ideal for dog walking, We had a great week there.
Situated near Abergaveny in Gilwern, a friendly village with shops including a butcher, Pubs that do good food. There is a fish and chip shop I would recommend too. This It is a good location for walkers and cyclists, the canal tow path is very close by. The Stable cottage is a good base for exploring the Brecon Beacons and the Black mountains.

A very neat Stable conversion in a quiet environment. Close to amenities and open countryside walking.
A quiet friendly little village close to much beautiful scenery. The cottage exceeded expectations, comfortable, warm and spotlessly clean, we couldn't have imagined anything better.

The Old Stable is in an ideal situation to explore this part of Wales. Its closeness to the canal makes it ideal for early and late dog walks without resorting to the car. A very comfortable cottage.
A charming little cottage, perfect for what we were after, and particularly pleased with the thoughtfulness of the owners.
The Old Stable was lovely, and very comfortable. The welcome pack was the best we had ever had anywhere. The location was perfect for our needs.
It was a lovely place to spend a few days. It was small but in a good way, perfect for a couple. Gilwern is very nice and the people were very friendly. We were both very happy with our stay. The internet and other electronics were all very good.
