Places to stay locally

Many people visit us when they are already staying in the area for their holidays, but others might be looking for just a couple of nights, for example, to attend one of our numerous workshops and events.

Here are just a few to choose from, all of which will, we are sure, will give you an excellent welcome.

Black Mountains Hideaway

At the bottom of our road, just up from the grey telephone box, is Black Mountains Hideaway. Owner Alex Yorke says

“Guests can contact me directly on this email aijyorke@gmail.com for best rates mentioning ‘Nant y Bedd’ in the subject line.

Black Mountains Hideaway is tucked behind yet private from our 300 year old family-occupied farmhouse in the National Park. Sugarloaf views abound. We can accommodate two people and have two bedrooms.  The room below is a ‘sunroom’ but has glorious views of the ‘Loaf’. Perfect for couples – relax in the freestanding bath in the double bedroom and curl up on the sofa in the sunroom with the comfort of the woodburner and a good book“ https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/921342

The Angel

For somewhere a bit more formal, although with a lovely relaxed atmosphere, is the ‘4 Silver Star’ Angel Hotel. Located in the centre of the thriving town of Abergavenny, just 25 minutes from Nant y Bedd, the Angel is the ‘must stay’ hotel in the area. Add in The Angel’s sister property, the Michelin starred Walnut Tree restaurant and a superb stay is on the cards.

Mention Nant y Bedd Garden when booking and they will endeavour to give you a complimentary room upgrade.

LLanthony Priory

Or how about combining your visit to Nant y Bedd with taking in some wonderful local history. In the next valley is the famous Llanthony Priory. Dating from the 12th Century, Llanthony was once one of Wales’ most magnificent buildings. The extensive ruins give you a glimpse of what it must have been. The priory is situated within the Llanthony Valley, Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Dark Sky reserve.

New owners Annabel and Jamie have extensively renovated the rooms and now offer five options in the original church tower or the West Range Prior’s quarters. Enjoy home-cooked food and local beverages in the adjacent pub, set within the vaulted cellar.

From the Priory you can walk over the hill directly to Nant y Bedd, if you are feeling so inclined. It is about 4 miles. Good boots and an OS map essential.
