“Location is great for exploring the Brecon Beacons.”

Cottage is spacious and suits a family. Lovely kitchen for meals together.

“This was our fifth stay at Millbrook Barn.”

We loved the space and the comfort. The location is beautiful and very rural, yet just a few miles from Abergavenny, which is a lovely town. Overall another great holiday. Also Sykes are very easy to deal with with a very straightforward booking system. We have had to call the office a couple of times over the years and the staff are always very friendly and professional to deal with.

“Millbrook Barn has all you need for a great holiday.”

The rooms are all very comfortable and well equipped. The games room is full of games, books, puzzles and wii games, invaluable for entertaining Kids on a wet day. There is even a piano and billiard table. Next time I will take my grandchildren! The location is a little off the beaten track but very well placed for visiting Abergavenny, the Brecon Beacons, the Black Mountains and so much more. The bird life around the barn is a delight, as are the sheep!

“A wonderful barn conversion!”

Clean, comfortable, spacious and extremely well appointed. The games room with pool table was a massive bonus and kept both kids and adults entertained. We will definitely be visiting again.
Mr Mozley April 2018

“A really nice place to stay - to relax and to go on walking expeditions and to visit Abergavenny.”

Mr and Mrs Jones were consistently helpful, as was Gavin who looks after the sheep and lambs; the piano is a very useful bonus.

“Superbly designed, furnished and equipped accommodation set in the midst of lovely countryside.”

A wide variety of walks, shops and activities in the area to suit all age ranges.
Ms Boswell March 2018

“This was our third visit to Millbrook Barn and again when we leave we want to return.”

From the kitchen with all need appliances to the comfort of the beds, every need is covered. If I could live here I would, the area is beautiful, the people in the town are friendly. There are lots of walks in the area, you do not need to travel far to keep yourself entertained. I can not recommend this property and the owners enough.

“Comfortable, cosy, quiet farm house”

We had a lovely 4 days at Millbrook Barn earlier this year. It's off the beaten track and not easy to find, so double check your directions, but it's more than worth the effort to get there. It's not far from Abergavenny, which is a lovely town, and that means it's not far from attractions like castles, national parks or Cardiff if you want to visit the city. The cottage itself is spacious, well appointed with comfortable furniture. Also, one main bedroom is separate from the others, so you can have kids or guests at the other end of the house for some privacy. It's a great base location for seeing this region of south Wales.

“Excellent”

We stayed at Millbrook barn with our daughter and son in law and our grandchildren. It was ideal for a multi generation holiday. Spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. It was great having the playroom with toys to keep the grandchildren amused and there was plenty of room outside for playing ball games safely. The little ones loved having Jimmy the lamb come to play. The barn is situated in a peaceful location but within easy drive of Abergavenny. We enjoyed trips to Greenmeadow Farm, Raglan Castle, Monmouth and The Kymin.

“The Best!”

Millbrook Farm is fantastic accomodation located down a country lane around the Llanddewi Rhyddech Region of Wales and is especially great for families. It has a fantastic setting on a rural property that is only 12 minutes from Abergavenny by car. The accomodation is fantastically clean, and very well appointed with great outdoor and indoor areas for kids and adults alike. I would highly recommend this facility for your next trip.

“Thoroughly recommend”

This property was a lovely place to stay for a week near the Brecon Beacons. Plenty of space, yet homely with lots of rooms and well thought out touches e.g. piano, pool table, board games, other toys and plenty of books that kept the kids and adults entertained plus a well equipped kitchen. It is a barn so you will need to be mindful of the sloped ceilings and low beams in each room upstairs but this adds to its character. In addition to the lovely accommodation, there is a dedicated, flat, mini football pitch with balls and badminton racquets ready to use, beautiful views with sheep in the nearby fields, a friendly shire horse and sheepdog plus very helpful and lovely owners! Great rural location - you will need wellies, unless you are lucky enough to have no rain, as the barn is in a working farm at the bottom of a long farm track but not too far from plenty of places to visit. We enjoyed a muddy walk round the local area, a day at Cardiff Bay (Techniquest is great for kids of all ages), the Big Pit, LC waterpark in Swansea, boat hire along the canal at Brecon, a walk from the canal at Talybont-on-Usk to the reservoir and then round the nearby waterfalls. Many thanks to the owners (plus their grandson and his girlfriend) for taking the time and effort to make it such an enjoyable time for us all. Book it now!

“Amazing”

8 of us had the pleasure of a week at mill brook barn, when it came to the end of our stay I could of cried. I loved the barn and it's surroundings. We sat outside most mornings and watched the farm animals grazing. The barn was spotless and In such a wonderful location. You would definitely need a car to stay here but, if you don't mind paying for taxis then it would really be up to you. When we arrived at the barn we had fresh eggs and fruit bread awaiting us. The barn had such a lovely feel to it, I would recommend it 100% if you're looking for a countryside p/rural kind of holiday away from it all.

“Serendipity in Monmouthshire”

In the narrow country lanes, not 10 minutes drive from Abergavenny, lies a hidden treasure. Millbrook Barn has been beautifully renovated and modernised with a large living room and kitchen (equipped with everything one would need) and 4 well proportioned bedrooms. We had 7 people stay, including one 8 year old and a 4 year old. There was space a plenty for all and the grounds were perfect for the children to run around safely and yet still experience the adventure of exploring a working farm. What made this so special though were the owners Brenda and Peter, a lovely couple who went out of their way to make sure my family and I were made to feel very welcome. Little touches such as the fresh eggs and the homemade cake made you feel at home and their warmness towards my son Jack and his cousin letting them feed the ducks and see the sheep being sheared was amazing. I would highly recommend Millbrook Barn to any family wanting quality time together. I know my family and I will be back as soon as we can.

“A great place at an awesome location”

I rarely write reviews, but felt compelled to come and give Millbrook Barn the thumbs up as we enjoyed it so much. The barn was spotlessly clean and very welcoming with plenty of space including a lovely lounge area, ample kitchen and games room. If you want rural, this is it... complete quite with beautiful surroundings - and a 10 minute drive will take you to some amazing walking locations. There were lovely welcoming touches. A lovely cake on arrival, fresh eggs and one of the owners popping along to check we were okay. But that was pretty much the single time we saw anyone, so privacy and quietness are ensured. I can't say anything negative. The only warning I'd say is that two of the bedrooms are en-suite, and the other two have a bath but not a shower available to them. But we just shared our showers so there really was no issue. All in all, highly recommended - and after this hotels are just going to seem very mundane.

“Fabulous place for a family holiday”

This was our third visit to Millbrook Barn - which really says it all! The barn itself has everything you could possibly need for a wonderful family holiday - loads of space, fantastic kitchen in which we fed 12 people with ease and a great games room, complete with billiard table and piano. Brenda and Peter are wonderful hosts and everything is taken care of, including fresh flowers, home baking and a supply of fresh eggs. The icing on the cake for our granddaughters was the presence of 4 tiny kittens just across from the barn. Can't recommend it highly enough

“Splendid isolation”

A property that is really "off the beaten track" and " out of the ordinary". The barn conversion has been skilfully carried out to a high standard and is very well equipped and thought out. The games games room with small pool tale , Wii and board games delighted our three grandsons. They also loved the one-ton shire horse that lives on the adjoining farm! This is an ideal property for family get-togethers with out-door eating spaces and lovely views. The grandchildren are already asking to go back.

“Everything you need, plus a little bit more.”

Eight of us, five adults and three children, loved the week we spent in Millbrook Barn. Being Half Term, it rained almost non-stop, so we really appreciated everything the barn had to offer, and staying in such a luxurious place took the edge off our disappointment over the weather. The kids loved the farm cats, and the many amusements on offer in the Games Room. The adults enjoyed the comfort, the well equipped kitchen and the isolation, miles away from the nearest town. The owners have thought of everything, plus a little bit more. Millbrook Barn is well off the beaten track, and not easy to find first time round, but it's the perfect venue for a family break. If you stay there, make sure you visit the waterfalls above Talybont- quite beautiful! Also recommended is the pony trekking centre at Llanthony: www.llanthonyriding.co.uk

Full of character, this cosy Abergavenny cottage retains many original beams, a large entrance hall, a spacious sitting room and a great games room with a pool table, Nintendo Wii and a piano.
