Abergavenny Grosmont Castle Hotels

"Absolutely immaculate cottage. Clean, beautifully decorated and furnished and facilities fantastic. A perfect place for a very quiet getaway. It's also a brilliant base for exploring the surrounding area. The cottage is in a very quiet, peaceful village which is perfect for a get away from it all break but you will need to drive for restaurants shops etc. There is one pub and a village store for the basics. There are lovely countryside walks from the cottage. We would definitely recommend and use this cottage again."

"We found Bolthole Retreats from a web search, therefore a little sceptical at first, however, now using the site we found it to be very professional with a very useful “manage my booking” section with all the info you need. Lower Lodge Gatehouse was exceptional. The photos do not do justice to the excellent finish the place has. It was cosy by the fire as the snow fell and can imagine it being wonderful in summer with the outdoor spaces. The steps to the main living area are steep but not a problem for us. The underfloor heating was welcome after taking off our muddy walking boots. Finally if you stay here you must go to The Bridge Inn, very friendly, good food, allows dogs, has local beer, and only 100m from the gatehouse."

"We fell in love with the cottage as soon as we entered. After reading a couple of bad reviews we were a little apprehensive, but we need not have been. The cottage has a lovely homely feel to it. Loved having the wood burner, especially as when we arrived it was -1 outside. It took a little while for the cottage to warm up, but there were plenty of radiators and blankets available, and it was lovely to snuggle up in front of the fire under a blanket and enjoy a glass of wine. The milk, flowers, logs and bottle of wine were a nice touch. Have booked up to go back next year."

"Fantastic place! Warm welcome from Frankie with clear instructions on how to get there. N.B. Don't ignore the instructions to use what3words as a satnav won't get you there!The accommodation is beautiful. Spacious, well equipped and so clean that I really could have eaten off the floor! The underfloor heating was great and the water hot and plentiful. Superb water pressure. Bed was comfortable as were both bathrooms. Kitchen well equipped with some thoughtful touches like small jars of spices and flour in the cupboard. The location is quiet and peaceful , yet convenient for nearby towns. A 3 minute drive and you're on the main road. There is a really good local shop in nearby Longtown for everyday essentials.and some good local produce ( I recommend the local ciders!). Nice walks with or without a dog . Several good pubs in driving distance although The Skirrid Inn is close enough to walk to.P.S. Dogs made welcome but need to be kept off the furniture."

"First class, everything you needed. Out in the countryside so car needed but just what we wanted for a weekend away xxxx"

"Everything was fab as always. This is our third visit here and we love it!It's our little bit of peace and quiet and the dog loves his "big garden" "

"It was a privilege to stay in a Grade 11 Jacobean House with a number of original features and tastefully modernised. The kitchen was well equipped and dining facilities were excellent so you could comfortably dine in or out in the garden.Grosmont is a lovely village and the house overlooks interesting Church and also Grosmont Castle is a stones throw away and the local pub is even nearer. It was too hot for much walking but lovely views from the surrounding hills and several interesting churches and castle ruins not far. We made friends with several people in the village."
