The Guest House

The room is good for the price, it’s a lovely little B&B in a quiet side road, not far from the city center. The big downside is that the hosts are not there and cannot be contacted. I tried to email / call them for check-in times but could not reach anyone. My friend had to get the key for me. There was an alarm going off twice at some electrics box which caused a shutdown of all electricity in the building. We, the guests, had to call a phone number to get someone to switch it off (after about 20 minutes). There were 2 men sitting / sleeping in the lobby downstairs day and night, which was a bit weird.

I spent 3 nights at the Guest House. Kevin answered my email promptly and the booking went smoothly. Coming from oversees, I greatly appreciated the attention I received throughout my stay. I highly recommend the Guest House and hope to return next year.

The Guest House was a lovely place to stay on my trip to Abergavenny. It is located about a 20 min walk from Abergavenny rail station and not too far from amenities such as Morrison's supermarket. Kevin, the owner and Jess were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. The breakfast is freshly cooked to your request and is served in the dining room which also has access to box cereals if that is what you prefer.

Be careful booking this hotel. I booked through booking.com and was told the guest house had not responded to confirm. I tried to contact directly through the link and to phone the day before i was travelling. No reply from the hotel. As a result i booked another hotel believing the guest house to be unavailable. They phoned me at 10.00 pm to ask where i was. This situation may be booking.com or the Guest house hotel fault but it certainly is not my fault, booking.com are impossible to contact. The owners of the hotel have happily taken my money £200 is not a small amount when you are a 67 year old pensioner on disability benefits. I just wanted a quiet break away. Greed. I hope their Karma gets them and God has mercy on them.

We booked one Saturday night in September. The Guest House is a charming B & B, very clean and comfortable. Kevin and his team went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable.|Sue and Brian

The place is very casual, you can come and go as you please. The hosts were lovely, welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast was brilliant and it was probably the best nights sleep I’ve had. Also loved the decor, had a lot more character than the average B&B.||Also was excellent value for the experience.

Booked a stay with The Guest House through booking.com on 24th July 2025 for the 2nd August 2025. They rang the day before we were staying to say they had a double booking so couldn’t fulfil our booking for 2 rooms (they now only had 1 room available). I asked to cancel as that wouldn’t work for us. They said I had to request the refund through booking.com…cue many hours of trying (and failing) to get a refund. The Guest House have ignored my messages sent through booking.com. I wouldn’t recommend staying here - unreliable booking process and very poor customer service resolving something which is not my fault, and I still have no refund (it's now 12th September 2025). It looks like there is another lady who has had a problem with this place just a couple of days ago on Google reviews. I recommend they don't treat customers like this - if they can't honour the booking, they should promptly refund.

Turned up in Abergavenny without a place to stay. Managed to call Kevin and Lyn at the Guest House luckily they had space. When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised with the secure parking for the bike, and was greeted with a warm welcome and so good info on the town. the guest house was lovely, a nice setup, come and go as you pleased, and room had everything you need and very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was really nice and a relaxing dining area where the hosts were very accommodating. would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back

Searching for a reasonably priced B&B for a walking holiday in the Brecon Beaons, I came across The Guest House as the number one rated B&B in Abergavenny on another well known hotel review site. I was struck by all the guests' comments that they had been made to feel so welcome and the warmth of Jenny and Kevin made the guesthouse feel like a home away from home. Straight from the first e-mail, Jenny struck me as someone for whom nothing would be too much bother to help one of her guests out. No wonder she has been awarded a Brecon Beacons National Park Ambassador Award. She gave us very generous rates for 2 double rooms at single occupancy rates. I was also looking for help and local knowledge with a special occasion I was planning and she put in a lot of effort and communication to help me plan the surprise. Not only that but she was genuinely excited for me when we arrived. The B&B is located about a 10 minute walk north of Abergavenny town centre, which proved an ideal base for exploring the many attractions of the area. The Brecon Bracons have something for everyone ranging from stunning scenery and walks for hikers to food festivals and Michelin starred restaurants for foodies. Gastronomes will have heard of local star eateries and chefs such as the Walnut Tree and Stephen Terry's Hardwick. The rooms are all en-suite and located in a quieter area out of town and they all have a view of local peaks. They have all the amenities one expects from a B&B as well as some little personal touches such as books to read. Breakfast is served in the large dining room downstairs and it's an occasion. Jenny and Kevin are obviously avid cooks and are always coming up with dishes for guests to try. The Welsh breakfast will provide enough energy to tackle any of the local peaks though the range of options range from smoked omelette to seafood quiche. The eggs will have come from the chickens in the back yard. They're in good company as Jenny and Kevin have a veritable zoo of lovely cute animals, ranging from the 2 parrots in the living room to a 3 legged cat! Street parking was always ample though they do also have a guest car park available at the rear of the property. This was a great base for exploring the area and with perfect hosts in Jenny and Kevin, I can see why it's the number one rated B&B in town.

The Guest House is a rather unique B&B, one with a distinct personality, run by a very extrovert and welcoming lady. Situated just off a main road and therefore in a very quiet spot very close to the town centre the Guest House in addition to human beings offers accommodation to a veritable menagerie, from exotic parrots, cats, dogs, pigeons, hens (loads of them) and goodness knows what else. They animails are of course kept separate from the guests (well, except for the lovely cat who like to strut around the place like all felines) and are amazingly well looked after. Accommodation is OK but a little more attention details would make it really great. It's tiny things like arranging the cables spaghetti junction hanging off the TV (and ensuring yo get a good signal), more shelving space in the bathroom (perhaps removing a couple of knick-knacks) and so on. But the B&B's forte is in the second B, the breakfast. Wow... with super fresh and absolutely delicious eggs you just want to indulge around a full English (or being in Wales, Welsh) breakfast for ever. In addition to the traditional fare you can have french toasts, pancakes, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, and more - a veritable feast! So enjoy it!
