Black Mountain Retreat Reviews

Sara - Sep 2024
Such a beautiful location. So peaceful ,& the views from the cottage were outstanding. The barn was tastefully furnished & well equipped. The beds were comfy & the bed linen was of a nice quality. The showers were fabulous. We had a few issues ( no oven gloves, lack of towel provision in one of the bedrooms, no water supply for a morning & evidenceRead more of mouse droppings in the kitchen area) during our stay. All were promptly acknowledged by the owners. The barns cleanliness was satisfactory. Hide
Caroline - Sep 2024
Very relaxing stay at a beautiful location. The house was well set up and Lisa was so helpful and welcoming. Lovely stay at a perfect spot to enjoy the Brecon Beacons!
Sharon - Aug 2024

Marion - Jul 2024
Absolutely loved our stay at Shepherds Barn great cottage and location. Would recommend booking here, very dog friendly and well equipped
Melinda - Jun 2024
The location and the property were beautiful. Clean and well equipped. We had such a relaxing break. This must be the definition of peace and quiet.
Marie - Jun 2024
A stunning barn conversion, away from it all in a beautiful location! Appreciated the lovely welcome basket with local produce. Easy access to towns of Crickhowell (lovely town, great independent shops & good places to eat), Abergavenny and Brecon. Lovely garden (& hot tub) to sit out & enjoy the views of the mountains & farmland. So peaceful with Read moreonly the sounds of the sheep & birds. We loved it all! We had a fabulous holiday & would book again if visiting this beautiful part of the world. Hide
Katherine - Jun 2024
Beautiful cottage, with stunning views! Would certainly visit again !
Jim - May 2024
The cottage is about 14 miles from Abergavenny but "away from it all". We were a family group of 6 adults and neededto chill out for a week. The mixture of the scenery, the cottage and the hot tub were ideal. We thoroughly recommend the cootage for a holiday and you are only an hour by train from Cardiff. Will definitely return sometime, hopefully Read moresoon. Hide
Brian - May 2024
We found the property to be of high specification, very clean. The view down the valley is beautiful. Ideal location to get to places of interest.
Rosie - Apr 2024
There were six of us that stayed at and we can honestly say we would return in the future! The accommodation was amazing- the views are absolutely breath taking. The cottage was clean/tidy with an amazing welcome hamper (we all enjoyed the Welsh cakes). My 7 month old came and there was a travel cot and high chair for his stay, he slept so well andRead more enjoyed the views of the sheep and lambs. The owner Lisa was amazing, she kept in contact and was so lovely! Thank you so much. Hide
Peta - Mar 2024
Lovely Views . So peaceful. The beds were amazingly comfortable I cant believe how well I slept. Really liked the lay out. Able to cook and chat to family in the sitting area or at the table. The dishwasher and the washing machine was so quiet, particularly the washing machine so you could have this running and still hear each other talk. we had a Read moremedium-sized dog with us and the garden was perfect. I didnt notice the gate that could be shut until later in the holiday, but my dog was happy . Hide
Lisa - Mar 2024
Wonderful property in an amazing setting. Lovely owners who are very responsive but not at all intrusive which is perfect. We will definitely revisit. .
Rachael - Mar 2024
This is an idyllic place. So comfortable with stunning scenery. The hosts are lovely and so welcoming with nice little touches and were flexible. Between us we couldnt think of anything that could have been better. Really good standard accommodation and very comfortable beds.
Catherine - Feb 2024
Lovely cottage in a stunning location. Lisa was really helpful. We had a great trip and would love to return.
Anna - Feb 2024

Teresa - Jan 2024
Stunning property, lovely welcome gift. Great communication with the owners. Will definitely return & recommend to friends & family. Stunning walk behind the barn to the Black Mountains
Cheryl - Dec 2023
Stayed at this property over the New Year and would highly recommend this superbly refurbished cottage. High quality facilities, equipment, bedding and everything there. We spent time in the hot tub and also enjoyed the open living/kitchen space which worked well for 6 adults and 2 dogs. The cottage was decorated for Christmas and the owners had evRead moreen left us some well appreciated goodies Would definitely recommend booking this hidden gem. Hide
LINDA - Oct 2023
The cottage was outstanding. The views are to die for. Fully equipped kitchen. The whole cottage was beautiful. Hot tub easy to use. I can't wait to go back.
Janet - Sep 2023
Well equipped kitchen with a glorious easy to use range. Lovely outside sitting area with comfortable chairs.
Vikki - Aug 2023
We stayed for a week in this absolutely beautiful cottage. It was very tastefully decorated and kitted out with everything you could possibly need. The owners were there if we needed them and made some excellent recommendations for things for our teenage boys to do. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were a dream! There was plenty of wo od, matches and firelighters for the hot tub. Took an hour or so to heat up but it stayed warm for 24 hours once heated and had beautiful views!
Louise - Aug 2023
The cottage was perfect for us - really nicely decorated - very calm and tasteful with very comfy beds and powerful showers. Lovely oak floorboards, beams and stairs. Fabulous location - we did loads of hiking and also did all day trips to Gower. We visited the National showcaves and enjoyed Brecon and Abergavenny too. Lovely pub called The Farmers Arms a short walk from the house - enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast there (book ahead) with great local beers and friendly staff.
Sandra - Jul 2023
Lovely cottage in a beautiful remote setting - great views from the hot tub. Owners friendly and helpful when needed.
