The Experience

Pantybeiliau is set high on a hillside above the village of Gilwern, historically a commercial staging post along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. A plateau above the house is criss-crossed with small railways and tramroads from earliest days of the Industrial Revolution and now grazed by sheep and wild horses.

Harry and Nicola live in the Victorian section of the house and leave you the spacious Georgian part, which includes a vast dining room where breakfast is served, a very comfortable sitting room with games, DVDs and music, and a study and a snug. The three bedrooms are all en-suite and have gorgeous views over the garden and valley.

The area has a well-deserved reputation for good food and your hosts will happily advise you of the best places to go. Circular walks from the door include the canal and the local pub. There’s caving, paragliding and all sorts of biking as well as churches and castles to explore.

Reviews

It's a house that gently strips visitors of their good intentions to be healthy and adventurous; and replaces them with idle and utterly enjoyable luxury, so that even leaving the garden becomes difficult to imagine.
Inspected Peter Sawday's Inspector
Shirley, Sussex

Nicola and Harry offer a very personal welcome to their beautiful home - they are generous and thoughtful. Pantybeiliau House is in a glorious position with amazing views and delightful grounds. We found the house and our bedroom deeply comfortable and breakfast was a feast. Much recommended!

We have just returned home after a 3 night stay at Pantybeiliau House and cannot find enough superlatives to describe our time there. The hosts Nicola and Harry are marvellous; nothing is too much trouble and they are genuinely interested in their guests and obviously enjoy sharing their home with visitors. Our room was spacious and comfortable with an excellent en suite shower room. The whole house is full of interesting family history and furnished with lovely antiques but in a very relaxed, family/lived in style. We would certainly recommend a stay at this House and hope to return

This really is a special place to stay. It is a beautiful house, furnished in country house style. The house has a faded grandeur which only adds to its appeal. The owner hosts are delightful and go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your stay. Tea and coffee with fresh milk is available to make at any time and the breakfast is one of the best I have ever had. The fresh fruit platter was especially welcome and the ‘full English’ (sorry that should be ‘full Welsh’) was delicious. I thoroughly recommend this delightful B&B. You will not be disappointed.

Marcus, Cricklade

"Plumb Perfect" "Bowled Over" "No Wrong 'Uns" This has to be the best B&B have ever stayed in. Perfect example of a B&B and what this very British form of hospitality is. The hosts in Harry and Nicola are, like their wonderful family home, the very best. Simply nothing to fault. Their hospitality & sporting pedigree let alone family history oozes from every room, ornament, little touch and welcome. A bit of a "googly" was thrown in the small hours when we were there, and of course, Harry and Nicola dealt with it, with a 'straight bat' Return already booked for 2024. Just had to.

Location

The neighbourhood

Gilwern is half a mile down the hill and has three pubs. A long (but flat) walk along the canal leads to the well-preserved Georgian town of Crickhowell (4 miles) for independent shops, delis and pubs, and the quaint market town of Abergavenny, known as the Gateway to Wales, also 4 miles away, is known for its foodie offering, home to good pubs, restaurants and cafés.

Local points of interest from Harry & Nicola Lewis

  • We're in the Brecon Beacons National Park & the perfect place to explore it from. Every outdoor activity imaginable available in some of the most beautiful countryside anywhere. Check out the Brecon Beacons website - or simply breathe out & walk from here.
  • Food & Drink - Gilwern itself has 3 pubs (& a wonderful Fish & Chips takeaway). Abergavenny is world famous for its annual food festival & consequently has many wonderful restaurants/pubs in the wider area. From Michelin-star to proper village pubs.
  • Visit The Big Pit (6 miles) - part of the World Heritage Site at Blaenavon. Be prepared to be lowered 300 feet down the mine shaft to the coal face. Visitors wear the same kit (helmets & lamps etc.) as the miners did. A truly unforgettable experience.
  • A long (but flat) walk of 4 miles from the front door along the canal (easier cycle & much easier drive!) sits Crickhowell which has been described as the perfect small town. A bustling high street entirely of independent local shops, delis & great pubs.
  • Should your visit need to encompass Cardiff, we are well within range by direct train (c 40 mins). It is a capital city well worth exploring: magnificent public buildings, famous little retail arcades & a fantastic castle. Edinburgh eat your heart out!
  • If castles are your thing, Wales has loads of them & many within very easy range. Some are brilliantly preserved ruins. Each has a fascinating history. Always a long & hard fight but with sieges the defenders normally lost - & very violently - in the end!

Introducing

Harry & Nicola Lewis

Harry and Nicola moved to Pantybeiliau in 2001 and it has been their family home ever since. Harry has hospitality in his blood and previously part-owned and operated five boutique hotels in the Marches. Sport is also a big theme in the family - Nicola was a successful three-day eventer and competed at Badminton and Burghley. Her father was Peter May, one of the English cricketing greats, and her grandfather and great uncle all captained England too.
