Little Orchard Retreat Reviews

Henry
We had such a great time at this cottage! Pippa greeted us warmly upon arrival, which was lovely. The place had everything we needed, from tea and coffee to a fully equipped kitchen-perfect for cooking up a storm. The hot tub with its stunning view was definitely a highlight, especially in the evenings. Our dog Billy loved exploring the nearby canal walksand we enjoyed visiting the local pubs and shops. We'll be back for sure!
George
Honestly, this is a lovely place for a chillout getaway. We enjoyed the peaceful walks and the cosy pub by the canal just a short stroll away. Pippa was such a friendly host too!
Alex
Really peaceful and comfy, perfect for unwinding. The location's a bit remote, so getting around takes time with all the roadworks. Stunning views of Sugar Loaf from the deck though!
Emma Carter
We had such a lovely week away, just what we needed to unwind. The cottage was super cosy and well-equipped, making our stay really comfortable. Lottie, our collie, loved the outdoor space and the paddock-she couldn't get enough of it! The views from the hot tub are absolutely stunning, perfect for relaxing evenings. The location is great for walks, especially along the canal and through Abergavenny's castle meadows-beautiful scenery and peaceful spots to sit by the river. Thanks so much, Pippa & Boswell! We'll be back for sure.
James
Sadly, we had to leave after less than a day due to unforeseen reasons, which was such a shame because the apartment looked perfect for a full week. It was fully equipped with everything you could needand the view from the veranda would have been lovely to enjoy daily. Pippa is a genuinely lovely lady who goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is great. Thanks so much, Pippa!
Emily
We love staying here! The location is fantastic, with nearby pubs, shopsand restaurants, plus perfect access to walking routes in the Brecon Beacons, like Sugarloaf and Skirrid. The cottage's all on ground floor, so super accessible. The kitchen is fully stocked, which is great. We've been back several times and always recommend it to friends!
Emma T.
Great spot, friendly host, cosy cottage
Alex Morgan
We had a lovely stay here! The hot tub was perfect for unwindingand the off-road parking was a real bonus. The owners were super friendly and helpful. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and the big paddock nearby - great for leting them run free. Canal walks are just a short stroll awayand there are plenty of pubs and eateries within walking distance. Definitely recommend!
Emma Clarke
We really enjoyed our stay! The hot tub was perfect after a long day exploring outdoorsand the views were stunning. The owners are genuinely lovely and very helpful, making sure we had all the info we needed. Definitely planning to return someday - it was such a nice experience!
