“Great holiday, loads of space for the family.”

Lovely garden which needs some photos taken. Great location, easy walk into town but maintaining a country feel. Would definitely go back. Only gripe is if you are a light sleeper the blinds are light and bright and you cannot sneak about due to the squeaky floor. Mind you we are used to blackout blinds. Wifi is fine, kept the teenagers happy. No smart TV so if you can’t live without Netflix bring a device.

“Rosehill Cottage was lovely.”

Home away from home. Had everything we needed. Bit of confusion over recycling. The card says cans and glass bottles in a coloured bag but the bag was not lifted because it had glass bottles. Please amend your guidance. That apart we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go back. Really handy for the town which is beautiful.

“We left the owners some very detailed feedback This property is not accurately ...”

We left the owners some very detailed feedback This property is not accurately described by Sykes I will elaborate on your complaints page with photos Essentially the property is very tired with few updates in the last 15 years - floor boards in each room and on landing creak so everyone is disturbed if anyone gets up - Curtains are not on each bedroom window so light pous through from 3 30 am and blinds are inaccurrate - rooms are hot and stuffy and sash windows are locked completely on some and only open a few inches on others - There is no side terrace -The front terrace is full of weeds and overlooked - Garden is not tended - no bedside table in master bedroom - beds apart from master bed very uncomfortable - main fridge freezer in utility is situated so vegetable drawer cannot fully open - Grouting around showers peeling and discoloured - Small tv with no smart mechanism No plunger or facility for coffee making Tap dripping in kitchen constantly Old toaster has faulty element This property need major overhaul

- Barbara, June 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I am disappointed that these guests could not engage with me to resolve these issues as I live on the site. Communication would have helped this situation. The whole house has oak and pine floor boards so they will creak at times. The blinds and or curtains are not blackout curtains. All windows open a 1/3 but the design of the arched windows does not allow further opening as the property in was built in1865. The garden weeds have been neglected for the past 2 weeks as the gardeners father is seriously ill in hospital and he has been unable to work. The vegetable drawer can fully open if the fridge is angled. The toaster could have been replaced and I was unaware of the dripping tap until now, so the plumber is sorting it out. I do hope the guests enjoyed the location in beautiful Abergavenny. Property Owner

Julie December 2023

“Very spacious property on the edge of Abergavenny town.”

Just a 5 minute walk into the centre. House had all the amenities needed and beds were comfortable. Great for a group or large family with no worries of bathroom sharing as there are 3 good size bathrooms. Owner gave a very warm welcome and is on hand if anything is needed. We had a great stay!

- Julie, December 2023

“A spacious property near the centre of town and with good parking.”

Sadly, it is no longer available for holiday lets.

Joanne December 2022

“A comfortable, warm, spacious property, 3 minutes walk from town centre.”

Plenty of parking space. We spent our Christmas week here and had a lovely time. Thank you.

“We couldn’t have had a warmer welcome.”

Pat was so helpful, not just for the accommodation itself, but with advice and recommendations for our walks and stay. The cottage was ideally laid out; as our family group incorporated four generations, the size and layout allowed us to find our own spaces. Set just a short walk from the town’s amenities, this was an ideal base for exploring the town and surrounding area. I can definitely see us returning.

- Mary, October 2022
Marie October 2022

“Enjoyed a lovely stay in Rosehill cottage for 3 nights.”

We were a family of 7 staying for a wedding nearby. Very spacious, comfortable and close to the town. My elderly mum was able to stay in the downstairs single and had bathroom opposite so was great for her too. Definitely recommend

- Marie, October 2022
Deborah October 2022

“We had a super holiday, we arranged a watercolour painting holiday, so the weather was not an issue but the property with space and facilities was our main focus with a large dining room table.”

We found that it was just right. Your advert did say that there was a log fire so we were a little disappointed to find it replaced however the central heating made up for it. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and really made us feel welcome, thankyou, we will certainly be back if we can.

- Deborah, October 2022
Martin October 2022

“Lovely cottage, great rooms and facilities.”

Great parking. 5 minutes from the town centre. All good.

- Martin, October 2022
Deborah June 2022

“A very comfortable stay and lovely to sit out in garden in gorgeous weather.”

Such a convenient location as well and the off road parking space was a valuable amenity.

- Deborah, June 2022
Ayman May 2022

“Great Location, near to the Brecons but also near to coffee bars, pubs etc.”

House was large, clean and more than adequate facilities. Will be booking here again

- Ayman, May 2022
Elizabeth April 2022

“On the whole, Rosehall met our requirements.”

A little bit of maintenance is required. The condenser drier is not working. Bulbs need replacing. Master bedroom bed needs a headboard. Master ensuite windows desperately need blinds. Whole of the wooden flooring upstairs needs screwing down, very noisey. Apart from these issues, it's a nice house conveniently situated in a pleasant town.

- Elizabeth, April 2022
Janet March 2022

“Perfect base for our walking holiday.”

House was very well equipped with plenty of space for us all and with a useful utility area for sorting out all our walking gear. The 3 bathrooms were an added bonus after a days walking. Close to town centre for quick shopping trips and eating out. Owner was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be going back.

- Janet, March 2022
Helen December 2021

“Beautiful house, very spacious and good facilities.”

Christmas was thoroughly enjoyed here. Only feedback which has been passed to owner is the double bed not so comfortable. She advised she will look into this. Only negative. Would highly recommend.

- Helen, December 2021
Pip December 2021

“Absolutely fantastic property, massively roomy living space, lovely kitchen with most equipment provided, amble parking and so close to town yet brilliantly peaceful.”

Marked down only on comfort due to one double bed being a little noisy and uncomfortable, personal preference though. Would visit again in a heartbeat, suited our mixed aged party really well and highly recommend a stay here.

- Pip, December 2021
Steve October 2021

“Great stay - loved the location.”

Very friendly and helpful owner. Hopefully get back soon

Christopher July 2021

“Rosehill - with its 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was a great property for our mixed family group of 8 people.”

It was comfortable and private, and very well-appointed. It provided an excellent base for us to explore the wider region, and all the facilities of Abergavenny itself were within a very short walking distance or 3/4 minute drive (in the case of Waitrose!). The instruction pack was very comprehensive and the welcome pack of goodies was much appreciated. The owner was very friendly and she invited us to contact her at any time for any reason whatsoever; she lived in an adjacent property but was not intrusive in any way. Our only criticisms are very minor in comparison to our overall satisfaction with the property: - We would have appreciated a bit more cutlery and crockery. - We found one of the beds (a double) to be a little uncomfortable, compared to what we are used to - but beds are, of course, a very personal preference. - Unfortunately one of the electric showers failed. We regarded this as "one of those things" and basically worked around the issue. Being so busy, we didn't mention it to the owner for a few days, and when we did she said that if only we had told her sooner, she would have sorted it out for us (said in a concerned way...not a rude way!). - A barbeque would have been a nice addition. However, we brought our own with us and the owner was happy for us to use it.

- Christopher, July 2021
Sunit July 2021

“Very good, clean accommodation.”

The instructions were clearly written. The accommodation was centrally located. We had a great stay!

- Sunit, July 2021
Allison July 2021

“This is a beautiful house in close proximity to parks and shops.”

It was clean and comfortable and provided towels, tea towels, along with all the cleaning things you could need. There is a large lawn which was lovely for sitting out on and socialising with the friends. The owner was on hand and very friendly and helpful.

- Allison, July 2021
Caroline June 2021

“Lovely house, friendly, helpful owner nearby.”

Fortunate with the weather so enjoyed sitting in the garden watching the birds, including a red kite passing by overhead. Tight access to drive from narrow street if you have a bigger vehicle but it’s an excellent and comfortable base for exploring a beautiful area.

- Caroline, June 2021
Suzanne June 2021

“A beautiful house, clean and comfortable with everything you want at hand, fab owner who was so friendly and helpful.”

Close to town and in lovely grounds. Had a brilliant week and will be returning x

Colin October 2020

“Lovely spacious cottage conveniently situated but nice and quiet.”

Lovely friendly owner, first time we have been on a walking holiday and not had to use our car all week to start walking! Home from home! Would recommend.

- Colin, October 2020
Peter September 2020

“We found it was really excellent only minor issue was parking and access was a little awkward, but for sure we would use the cottage again when visiting this area the owner was very helpfull and left nice welcome gifts.”

- Peter, September 2020
Gillian September 2020

“We had a very comfortable week at Rosehill, 5 adults - and our our first family get-together since lockdown.”

The house was very spacious and in a quiet location at the top of a private drive but close to the centre of Abergavveny, which is a lovely town with many individual shops, bars and eating places. We found many places to visit in the area and especially enjoyed the Gliffaes Country House Hotel and arboretum, the Sugar Loaf Vineyard, the Walnut Tree Inn, Tretower Court and Castle, and canal boat hire at the Goytre Wharf, which was a wonderful way to appreciate the amazing countryside. A very enjoyable stay. Thank you.

- Gillian, September 2020
Eric July 2020

“The house and its situation was great.”

Really enjoyed Abergavenny and the surrounding area. The owner who lived next to the property was very helpful

- Eric, July 2020
Mike July 2020

“Lovely large house near the centre of Abergavenny, 5 min walk into town and supermarkets, but just out of the centre.”

Many lovely walks available from the house. Lots of space in the house and all the facilities you need for a family holiday/break. Lovely welcome pack to greet us from Pat on our arrival. Abergavenny is a great town, with lots of lovey shops and restaurants.

- Mike, July 2020
La February 2020

“Will not be returning.”

I found the initial communication was very hard work. On arrival no welcome pack. We are gluten free and were obviously placed into the too difficult box. There was a sign on the table on a basket saying welcome pack, but nothing for us. The house was dirty. The curtains were unclean and stained. The upstairs bathroom smelt of damp and there was damp on the ceiling . No wine glasses, had to go to Waitrose and buy my own. The upstairs floorboards made of pine, made such a loud sound and woke everyone up. The showers urgently need upgrading . Some of the beds need replacing. The house just needs some TLC and money spent on it. I would definitely not return !

- La, February 2020
Alison December 2019

“Lovely spacious house.”

Situated off a quiet one way street but only a 5 minute walk into the busy town centre. Spent Christmas here and the house had everything we needed to cook a Christmas Dinner for 7 people. Surrounding countryside is beautiful and the local people were amazing. It was our first time in Abergavenny and we will definitely come back.

- Alison, December 2019
Vera November 2019

“The owner was very friendly and helpful and left us a lovely welcome box of goodies.”

The house is in walking distance to the town centre. It is a very spacious house and ideal for a family gathering. Would highly recommend. A hairdryer would be very helpful. Thanks

- Vera, November 2019
Susan October 2019

“The house was well equipped and comfortable.”

Lovely towels and plenty of space for us all to sit to relax and eat. The owner was very friendly and allowed us to park our car early on arrival and to leave it later when we left which was a great help. The only negative was the shower in the ensuite room wasn't very powerful and the main bathroom only had a bath and no shower over it which meant sharing the ensuite shower. We had a lovely basket of wine, Welsh cakes and biscuits which was very welcome.

- Susan, October 2019
Maureen September 2019

“Generally the house was good and the owner was on hand to assist with any problems.”

The location was ideal, once we got used to the extremely steep driveway! We did however I find the lack of carpets upstairs and the rather uncomfortable beds (creaked every time you moved) made it very noisy at night. The cooking facilities also (in particular the double combination oven) were overly challenging for a holiday let and there were was a lack of instructions on them.

- Maureen, September 2019
Lesley April 2019

“Really good house that accommodates a large party.”

Very friendly owner was made to feel welcome. Lovely friendly area to ideal position. Mum was in a wheel chair and the down stairs facilities were ideal for her.

- Lesley, April 2019
Rebecca February 2019

“Fantastic house and wonderful holiday with a get together with my grown up family.”
