    We had a great stay at the house! The garden was great for our BBQ, and Nick was helpful with everything we needed. The home is spacious, and the rooms are quirky, with a great vibe with artwork and books. The location was easy to get to, and it was easy for us to get out for a day at the mountain biking park. The dining area was perfect for our meal and fit us all comfortably. And we spent the evening out just relaxing and chatting in the garden with the beautiful views of the hills. Thank you for a lovely stay!

    Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely home with lots to do and great garden space. Some kitchen equipment could have been cleaned a bit better. Nick rushed to get the property ready for us as it was a bit of a last minute booking so very grateful.

    The Old Vicarage is in a tranquil, remote and beautiful location. It is the perfect property for family gatherings or surprise birthday celebrations. The communication with the property owner was seamless and the property itself full of charm and character. Highly recommend a visit with easy access to Sugar Load and Abergavenny. We intend to return one day soon as we did not want to leave.
