Staying in Abergavenny
Abergavenny is known as the Gateway to Wales, with a historic market, a Norman castle and the Brecon Beacons National Park on its doorstep. The town centre is compact and walkable, mixing independent shops, cafes and traditional pubs, and the remains of the medieval town walls can still be traced. Abergavenny Castle and Museum sits near the main shopping streets, and the surrounding countryside offers everything from gentle riverside strolls to challenging hikes.
The hotels on this shortlist are spread between the town centre and the villages around it. The Angel Hotel, Kings Arms Hotel, The Kings Head Hotel and The Black Lion all stand in Abergavenny itself, close to the centre, while Hardwick Farm, Tyr Ywen Cottage, Treetops, The Granary and The Old Stable Abergavenny sit in the surrounding countryside within a few kilometres. The Bell At Skenfrith and Llansantffraed Court Hotel are the most rural, in Skenfrith and Llansantffraed respectively. Town-centre addresses suit short breaks and business trips; the rural ones suit couples and families with a car.
