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
Freya, Glastonbury

Beautiful home away from home. Harry & Nicola are a complete delight, we were made to feel so welcome & our every need was never a problem. Breakfast was certainly a highlight as well as the stunning bedrooms & lovely little details like the home grown flowers . Will absolutely be back

Had a fantastic weekend here celebrating a birthday. Harry and Nicola went above and beyond to make it work for us. More like staying with friends, really welcoming, very comfortable but never over intrusive. Definitely be back!

We had the most wonderful time in the most beautiful of settings. We had such a warm welcome and were made to feel like it was our home. It was a privilege to stay in the Master 'Suite'. The room completely blew us away, and breakfast each morning was sensational. Particular highlight was the eggy bread and the homemade jams, made with freshly picked fruit from their wonderful garden. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. 2 nights wasn't enough but we can't wait to come back in the autumn. Thank you Harry & Nicola. It was the perfect weekend. Couldn't recommend highly enough

We've had a fantastic weekend at Pantybeiliau House. Harry and Nicola are first class hosts and the house and garden are so beautiful. Additionally, Nicola's breakfast is absolutely delicious. We will go back there in a couple of months' time surely. Highly recommended!

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.
